Light Hour
Read full descriptionHide full description
Light Hour is a quiet bedside clock built around warm breathing light, low-stimulus controls, calm soundscapes, and gentle wake routines. Use it on a nightstand or MagSafe stand when you want your phone to become a calm object instead of another feed. Controls fade away after a pause, the clock stays readable in the dark, and morning wake copy stays soft and concrete. Free includes the core light clock, one alarm, a set of gentle bedside soundscapes, and the basic quiet ritual. Light Hour PRO adds phrase personalization and keeps your wake time, sound, tone, and phrase style familiar across devices, with a one-week free trial when available. Light Hour is a lifestyle utility, not a medical device. It does not change Apple Clock alarms. Keep a same-time Apple Clock backup for critical events, and update it separately if you change Light Hour.
