Glade is a beautiful way to wake up. Instead of a jarring number on a flat screen, Glade greets you with a living view of trees and sky that drifts through the day. As morning nears, the scene moves from a deep starlit night, through first light, to full day, with drifting clouds, a sun and moon that follow the real time, and a hand-drawn forest swaying in the breeze. Set an alarm and the sky previews the exact light you'll wake to. A 6:30 morning alarm shows tomorrow's dawn. An evening alarm glows at dusk. You can see at a glance whether you set AM or PM, so that mix-up never happens again. Setting an alarm takes seconds. Tap an hour on the dial, then tap or flick toward the minutes you want. Done. For heavy sleepers, add backup alarms that keep ringing after the first and only stop once you get up and disarm in the app. Pick from a range of alarm sounds, from gentle and peaceful to impossible to ignore. Features • A living scene that shifts with the time of day • The background previews the light at your alarm's time • Set an alarm in a couple of taps or a single flick • Backup alarms that keep going for heavy sleepers • A range of alarm sounds, calming to alarming • Quick access from Control Center Wake up to something beautiful.
