A better way to start the day

Love how simple and grounding this app is. If I’m going to reach for my phone first thing in the morning anyway, I might as well turn it into a good habit. I’ve especially loved the challenge of holding until sunrise—it’s such a small thing, but makes the start of my day feel surprisingly intentional. My only wish is that the moment lasted a little longer so I could savor it more. Beautiful idea, beautifully simple. Thank you for making and sharing this!
