Wake with light,
not alarm.
LumAlarm stages a sunrise across your screen and flashlight, then fades sound in only as you surface. A calmer, kinder start — for light sleepers, early risers, and anyone chasing a better morning.
Being shaken awake by a siren spikes cortisol and heart rate. A sunrise does the opposite — it eases you up through your lightest sleep, so you wake clear, not jolted.
Light leads.
Sound follows.
In the window before your alarm, LumAlarm stages a sunrise — then lets sound arrive last, gently, once your body is already rising.
The first glow
Deep indigo glow begins, barely there — the room starts to lift before you do.
Warm white
Screen and flashlight ramp to warm white, adapting to how dark the room is.
Birdsong rises
Curated birdsong rises softly, capped at the maximum volume you set.
Good morning
A spoken good-morning with the live weather, then a handoff to your music.
Set a gentle time
Pick your wake time, repeat days, and a sunrise length from 5 to 45 minutes. Optional smart-wake nudges you up to 30 minutes early on movement.
Light fills the room
Your screen stages a living sunrise while the camera flashlight ramps in step — both adapting to the room's brightness so it's never a glare in the dark.
Sound, as you surface
Curated birdsong layers into chimes, then your alarm — and dismissing reveals a spoken greeting, the weather, and a handoff to your music.

The science of a
softer morning.
A short, honest guide to why light, timing, and routine shape how you wake — the thinking built into LumAlarm.
Why a sunrise wakes you better than a siren
Your body starts preparing to wake about an hour before you rise — a natural climb in cortisol and core temperature, and light is its strongest cue. A gradual brightening lets that process finish on its own, so you surface from lighter sleep feeling alert rather than startled. A sudden alarm can instead yank you out of deep sleep, triggering a stress response and the groggy fog known as sleep inertia. Leading with light — and letting sound arrive last, and softly — works with your physiology instead of against it.
Open the Sleep LibraryLight is your master clock
Morning light anchors your circadian rhythm; warm, dim light at night protects melatonin.
Wake in your lightest sleep
A wake window lets gentle cues catch you while you're already stirring — not mid deep-sleep.
Keep a consistent schedule
A steady wake time stabilises your clock and beats a single long weekend lie-in.
For people who hate
being jolted awake.
"I used to wake with my heart pounding. Now the room just slowly fills with light and I'm already awake — no jolt."
"The wind-down sunset is the part I didn't know I needed. The lights fade, I fade. We've both stopped doomscrolling."
"A screaming alarm at 4am was brutal. The gradual light makes an ungodly hour almost humane."
Good questions.
Can't find it here? The Help center covers setup, and the Sleep Library goes deep on the science.
Does the screen stay on all night and drain my battery?
Does the flashlight really make a difference?
Will it still wake me if the phone is locked?
Can I wake to Spotify or my own music?
Does it work offline? Are there ads?
Is it accessible, and what permissions does it need?
Start waking up
gently.
Set one alarm tonight. Wake to light tomorrow. Feel the difference by the weekend.
