## What is Lightly?

Every morning, the sun rises at a different time and with it, a window of natural light that resets your circadian rhythm, boosts serotonin, and sets the tone for your entire day. Most people sleep right through it.

Lightly makes sure you don't.

HOW IT WORKS
- Fetches the exact sunrise time for your location, every day
- Wakes you at sunrise — or 15, 30, 60 minutes before
- Scores your morning with a daily Morning Light score
- Tracks your streak so consistency becomes visible

FEATURES

Real Sunrise Times
GPS-accurate sunrise data. No manual setup. Adjusts automatically as seasons change — 6:20 in winter, 4:45 in summer.

Morning Light Score
How close did you wake to sunrise? Your score tells you instantly. Excellent, Strong, Good, or Missed — with color-coded feedback that makes progress feel real.

Streak Tracking
The longer your streak, the harder it is to break. Watch your consistency build day by day.

Weather at a Glance
Cloud cover, temperature, conditions — all on your morning screen. Your score even adjusts for cloudy days.

iOS Widget
Sunrise time, score, and streak on your home screen. No need to open the app.

Wake History
Review your full wake-up log — sunrise time, wake time, score, and verdict for every day.

DESIGNED TO FEEL DIFFERENT
Lightly changes with the day:
- Deep Rest — calm darkness while you sleep
- Sunrise — warm gold as dawn approaches
- Morning Glory — a celebration when you wake with the sun

This isn't another alarm app. It's a morning ritual.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your location is used only to calculate sunrise times. We don't track or sell your data. Ever.

The sun rose this morning. Did you?
