How it works

A task between you and snooze.

The alarm starts ringing and won’t stop on its own. There’s no snooze and no swipe to dismiss — only a task. Finish it and you’re genuinely awake.

  1. 01

    It rings

    Volume fades in. Slide-to-stop just re-arms it five seconds later.

  2. 02

    You do the task

    Scan, solve, type, or play — your choice of seven dismiss tasks.

  3. 03

    You’re up

    Log how you feel, keep your streak, and start the morning on your feet.

Questions

Good to know.

Everything else about getting up with the sun.

Is there really no snooze button?

Correct. SunUp has no snooze and no swipe-to-dismiss. The alarm keeps ringing — and re-arms itself if you try to slide it away — until you finish your chosen dismiss task. That friction is the whole point: it gets you out of bed instead of negotiating for five more minutes.

Do I need the Sun Dial to use SunUp?

No. The Sun Dial is completely optional. You can dismiss alarms with math, a typed phrase, a chess puzzle, a memory game, trivia, or a printed QR code. The Sun Dial just adds the most physical task of all — getting up and walking across the room to scan it.

How does sleep tracking work, and is it private?

When you enable sleep tracking, SunUp uses your iPhone’s microphone to analyze the sounds of your night and estimate your sleep stages. All analysis happens on your device — audio is never recorded, stored as files, or uploaded to any server.

Can I buy the Sun Dial yet?

Not yet — it’s coming soon. Join the waitlist with your email or phone and we’ll let you know the moment it’s available. It’s sold separately from the app, with no subscription. When yours arrives, just pair the tag in SunUp over NFC.

Do I need the app to use the Sun Dial?

Yes — the Sun Dial works with the free SunUp app on iPhone. Download SunUp, pair your tag once under Settings → Sun Dials, and choose Scan Sun Dial as your dismiss task.

Which devices are supported, and is it on the App Store?

SunUp is built for iPhone and available on the App Store. The Sun Dial is coming soon — join the waitlist at get-sunup.com/sundial/.
