Great alternative to a sunrise alarm clock

Love this app but I wish you took advantage of the levels iPhone has for the torch to make it more of a gradual light. You could also use the phone screens brightness. Otherwise the app is perfect

Hard to use

Very user unfriendly, sales messages pop up on Home Screen. Deleting now

Does not work

I’m not sure if it’s a compatibility issue with iOS or some kind of limitation, but even when I end the day with the app open it doesn’t work on my phone until I manually open

朝がスッキリ!

このアプリを使って、朝がとても気持ちよく起きれるようになりました!
バッテリー持ちに関してですが、自分はiPhone SE3ですが、低電力モードで使った状態だと、約20%ほど減ります。まあずっとスマホを開いてる状態にしては減りが少なくて安心です。
気になるのですか、最近、アラームの音声が小さく、光が布団に被さったときなど、光も来なくて音もこなくなる感じで、、たまに起きれない日があります。
そこで、段々と音を大きくしていく機能などはないでしょうか🙇‍♂️💦
例えば、30秒以内に段々音がMAXになっていく、という機能です。
この機能があれば、このアプリ、100点だと思います。
ぜひ、取り入れてみてください!お願いします!

Not reliable enough

I used it 2 nights, the first night it worked as expected, the second night it didn’t go off because I must have accidentally locked the screen or something. It’s just too finicky to work reliably, an alarm should work no matter what

FAQ

How does this app help me wake up?

The app simulates a sunrise by slowly increasing the light emitted from your phone's flashlight. This gradual increase in brightness, combined with gentle sounds, helps you transition out of deep sleep more naturally and feel more refreshed.

Can I customize the sounds?

Yes, the app includes pre-set bird singing sounds, which are considered optimal for waking. However, you have the option to turn these sounds off entirely if you prefer a silent wake-up experience.

What are the requirements for the light alarm to work?

For the light alarm feature to function correctly, the app needs to be actively running in the foreground on your phone. It's also recommended to place your phone near your bed so the flashlight is not obstructed.

Is this app free to use?

Based on the provided information, this application is available for free. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements mentioned.

What is the best way to use the light alarm?

To get the most out of the light alarm, place your phone near your bed where the flashlight can illuminate your surroundings without being covered. Using a tripod is also an option to ensure the light emanates from both sides of your device.
