Sunbrink ringing at 6:45 AM on a dark screen, with a glowing sun button labeled Start Sunlight Mission and the line: No snooze. Sunlight is the only way out.

6:45 AM

It does not negotiate. That is the whole point.

  • No snooze.There is no button for nine more minutes. There never will be.
  • No tricks.Math problems and barcodes can be solved half-asleep in bed. Daylight cannot be faked from under a duvet.
  • No bargaining.It stops when you are up, at the light, with your eyes open. Not before.

How a Sunbrink morning goes

01The night before

Set it, and mean it.

Pick a time, the days it repeats, and sunlight as the wake mission. Sunbrink shows exactly when it will ring. There is no snooze to fall back on, so tomorrow's alarm is a promise, not a suggestion.

Sunbrink home screen: Good morning, next alarm 6:45 AM rings in 28 minutes, two sunlight alarms listed, and a note that each alarm stops only when you complete its wake mission.
026:47 AM

Walk to the window. Hold steady.

Point the front camera at real daylight. The ring fills as Sunbrink measures the brightness around you. A bright window often works; cloudy daylight can still be enough. Never look directly at the sun.

The sunlight mission in progress: the camera sees a sunlit bedroom window, the screen reads Find the sun and Sunlight! Hold steady, with an amber ring counting 5 seconds of sun.

6:48 AM

And then, quietly, it is morning.

The alarm stops. You are standing in daylight, already up, and the day is yours instead of the snooze button's. That feeling is what Sunbrink is for.

03 · The streak

Every real morning counts.

Each completed wake mission grows your streak. A calendar shows the days you made it, a chart shows how long it took to get from alarm to sunlight, and a weekly coach note reads the pattern back to you, plainly.

  • Cloudy-day backups still count toward your streak.
  • Giving up or sleeping through resets it. Honest by design.

Before your first morning

Good questions. Clear answers.

What to know before your first Sunbrink morning.

What if it’s cloudy or the sun isn’t out?

You don’t need to see the sun. Sunbrink measures the brightness around you, and cloudy daylight can still be bright enough. On especially dim mornings, a dark-morning backup becomes available after two minutes of camera attempts without success. It uses a lower light requirement, held steady for 45 seconds near the brightest window. Some daylight is still needed—it is not a complete-darkness mode.

What if I wake up before sunrise?

Sunbrink works best when there’s daylight around your wake-up time. If it’s still completely dark, sunlight dismissal is not a reliable fit for that alarm. The cloudy-morning backup still needs light; there isn’t currently a dedicated before-sunrise mode. If you regularly wake before dawn, use a conventional alarm for that wake-up time.

Do I have to go outside?

You need enough natural light for the camera check. A bright window may work, depending on the daylight and your surroundings. If it’s too dim, try a brighter window or step outside only when it’s safe. Never look directly at the sun.

What if I can’t complete the sunlight check?

There is an emergency hold-to-dismiss option so you can stop the alarm when you can’t complete the mission. It ends the alarm but breaks your sunlight streak. Use it when needed—your safety comes first.

Does Sunbrink save or upload camera images?

No. The sunlight check processes camera images on your device. Those images are not saved or uploaded.
