Description by Dr. Alexander Rieger Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Over 1 million people already start their mornings rested and calm — the way it should be. This alarm clock replaces the classic loud alarm with slowly increasing light and relax sounds — exactly what your body needs to wake up easily.
⭐ Help fall asleep – wake up gently
In the evening, the app dims the light like a sunset and plays gradually fading sounds such as rain sounds for sleep or wave sounds. You can use calm music for sleep or calm meditation. In the morning, gentle light lifts you out of sleep — before any sound starts.
☀️ Your morning routine at a glance
Right when you wake up, you see the local weather forecast with clothing suggestions, your personal birthday countdown — and if you like, you can start your day with a quick home workout.
🌅 Better sleep. Better wake-up. Every day.
