About
A sunrise alarm made for iPhone Duo.
Turn your Duo sideways, fold it halfway like a laptop and set it on the nightstand. The top half aims the light straight at your pillow, and the bottom half lies flat with the snooze and stop buttons. You don't need a lamp or a stand.
Dawnfold turns your iPhone into a sunrise. In the half hour before your alarm, the screen glows from deep red through amber to bright daylight, so light starts waking you before any sound does. Birdsong fades in over the last few minutes, and a soft marimba rings at wake time.
Using another iPhone? Dawnfold works on any iPhone with iOS 27. Prop it on a stand so the screen faces you.
• A sunrise from 1 to 30 minutes, from about 1800 K to 6500 K
• A night screen that's pure black, with a dim red clock that moves a little each minute to protect the display
• A backup alarm that still rings if Dawnfold was closed overnight
• A 60-second test sunrise to check your placement
• An optional flashlight boost for the last few minutes, bounced off the wall behind the phone
• Snooze keeps the light on full
• Bedtime checks for charging, position, Low Power Mode and volume
Dawnfold Pro, one purchase with no subscription:
• Ember, Coastal and Nordic sunrises, plus a custom finish from candle-warm to crisp daylight
• Steady and Late brightness curves
• Soft rain and wind chimes
• A wind-down sunset that sinks to black as you fall asleep
• HomeKit lamps that follow the sunrise, for far more light than a screen
