Daybreak is a calm, full-screen OK-to-wake clock for early risers. A friendly face tells your child at a glance whether it's still sleepy time or okay to get up — no numbers to read. The one thing no other clock does for you: Daybreak automatically and gradually shifts the wake-up signal later over days — the technique sleep consultants recommend, done for you. You set today's real wake time and your goal once; Daybreak walks the morning later at your chosen pace and stops at the goal. • A single, clear face: sleeping at night, drowsy as morning nears, a cheerful sun when it's okay to get up. • Set-and-forget: pick your pace once — no nightly fiddling. • Gentle on rough nights: an optional morning check-in pauses the schedule after a hard night so you never push too fast. • Calm at night: the screen dims right down and shifts slowly to protect against burn-in. • "Start bedtime early" for the nights they go down sooner. • Private by design: no account, no network, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device. Keep the phone or tablet plugged in on the nursery shelf overnight, and let Daybreak run the program.
