DawnDuo – Sunrise Alarm
Wake up to a brighter morning
$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your display into a gradual morning light. A system alarm, a dim night view and optional wall lighting from the flash LED complete your bedside setup.
A gentle beginning to your morning. DawnDuo turns your iPhone or iPad display into a sunrise, moving from deep night blue through red and orange to warm white.
YOUR LIGHT, YOUR PACE
Set one alarm, choose the weekdays and let the sunrise build over 10, 15, 20, 30 or 45 minutes. Adjust the night and maximum brightness to suit your bedside.
DARK THROUGH THE NIGHT
Tap Good night to dim the display. The screen stays black and a tap shows the clock and controls. Or keep a subtle clock visible all night.
LIGHT AND A SYSTEM ALARM
With your alarm permission, the system sounds your wake-up alarm even in Silent mode, during Focus or when the app is closed. Stop the alarm or snooze for nine minutes. A widget shows the next alarm, and a Live Activity shows the snooze countdown.
FIVE MORNING SOUNDS
Morning birds, rain at the window, a woodland stream, coffee brewing or a kitchen radio: choose Wake up naturally and your sound rises quietly with the light. Or keep the classic iOS alarm.
OPTIONAL WALL LIGHT
On devices with a flash LED, indirect light can join the final third of the sunrise. It is reduced when the device gets warm and can be turned off in settings.
BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP
The light sunrise needs the app open in the foreground and the display unlocked. DawnDuo cannot turn on a locked display. Place your device securely and connect it to power overnight. The system alarm works independently of the light.
Buy once. No subscription, ads, account, analytics or tracking services. Your settings stay on your device.
