Wake-up streaks
Build a run of on-time mornings and chase your personal best. Miss a day and you start again — that’s the point.
The snooze-proof alarm
No snooze.
No swipe-away.
Just up.
Most alarms fail because dismissing them is too easy. SunUp keeps ringing until you finish a real task — and actually get out of bed.

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.
- 01
It rings
Volume fades in. Slide-to-stop just re-arms it five seconds later.
- 02
You do the task
Scan, solve, type, or play — your choice of seven dismiss tasks.
- 03
You’re up
Log how you feel, keep your streak, and start the morning on your feet.
Scan Sun Dial
Sun DialPlace the Sun Dial across the room. When the alarm rings, walk over and tap your iPhone to it. The simplest task of all — stand up and scan.
Math
FreeSolve a few arithmetic problems to clear the alarm. Dial the difficulty from gentle addition up to multiplication that genuinely wakes your brain.
Type a phrase
FreeType a randomized phrase exactly. Miss it and a fresh phrase appears — no muscle-memory shortcut back to sleep.
Best chess move
ProFind the best move in a real chess puzzle. One wrong move and the puzzle restarts. For the mornings you want to wake up sharp.
Memory game
ProWatch a pattern flash, then repeat it from memory. Tougher tiers add more tiles — focus required before the ringing stops.
Answer trivia
ProAnswer multiple-choice trivia across categories. Pick your topics and difficulty, and learn something while you get up.
Scan QR code
ProPrint a QR code and stick it anywhere — the bathroom mirror, the kettle. Only your code turns the alarm off.
Mornings, measured
See exactly how you wake up.
Every wake-up becomes a data point. Streaks, how long it took to get up, and how your mood tracks your sleep — all in one warm, glanceable place.

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.
Is SunUp free?
Yes. The free version includes one alarm, the Math and Type-a-phrase dismiss tasks, a basic morning summary, and bedtime reminders. SunUp Pro unlocks unlimited alarms, all seven dismiss tasks, sleep history and trends, widgets, custom sounds, and advanced insights.
How much is Pro, and how am I billed?
Pro is $4.99/month or $14.99/year with a 3-day free trial. It’s billed through your Apple ID, and you can cancel anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
Which devices are supported, and is it on the App Store?
SunUp is built for iPhone. It’s launching soon on the App Store — pre-order the Sun Dial now and you’ll be among the first up with the sun.
