## What is Dayrise?

Dayrise isn't just another alarm — it's an alarm that makes sure you actually get up and get outside.
Morning sunlight is one of the most powerful (and free) tools for feeling more awake, sleeping better at night, and keeping your mood steady all day. The problem is nobody actually does it. Dayrise fixes that.
HOW IT WORKS
• Set your wake-up time like any alarm
• When it goes off, step outside and snap a quick selfie
• Dayrise verifies you're actually outside in real daylight
• Your streak grows, day by day
EARLY RISER MODE
Turn it on and your alarm won't let you snooze back into bed — it keeps going until you check in outside. Prefer a gentler nudge? Turn it off and dismiss like a normal alarm, no pressure.
BUILT FOR THE HABIT, NOT JUST THE ALARM
• Real streak tracking, with your best streak saved
• A full year of your sunlight history at a glance
• Personalized wake-up greetings that adapt to your morning
• Learn why morning light matters, backed by real research
No accounts, no logins — just you, your alarm, and your streak.
Start tomorrow morning. Let the sun do the rest.
