## What is Sunrise Alarm?

Wake up gently with a sunrise on your iPhone screen. Sunrise Alarm turns your iPhone into a wake-up light: the screen slowly glows from deep red to orange, yellow and bright white, so your morning starts calm instead of with a jolt.

HOW IT WORKS
Set your wake-up time and put your iPhone on the nightstand, charging, with bedside mode on. The screen stays dark all night. Before your alarm, the sunrise begins and the light grows little by little. If the app is closed or the phone is locked, a regular alarm still rings at your wake-up time, even on silent.

SUNRISE SIMULATION
• Smooth color transition: dark red → orange → yellow → white
• Sunrise duration from 5 to 60 minutes
• Start the sunrise early so the light is at its brightest when you wake
• Choose the color at which brightness peaks
• Several sunrise color palettes

GENTLE SOUND AND VIBRATION
• 10 nature sounds: birds, rain, river, sea waves and more
• 10 calm wake-up melodies
• Progressive volume that starts almost silent and rises slowly
• Sound after the sunrise, or straight away when it ends
• Progressive vibration (PRO)

ALARMS YOUR WAY
• One-time, daily, chosen weekdays or specific dates
• Wake up at the real local sunrise time (PRO)
• Test a 1-minute sunrise anytime

ONE TAP AT NIGHT
• Bedside mode button for Control Center and the Lock Screen
• Ask Siri or use Shortcuts: "Bedside mode"
• Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets with your next sunrise (PRO)
