Won't stop until outdoor daylight is verified
Most alarms negotiate with you. Sunlight doesn't — it asks for daylight, outside.

Streaks & accountability
Every verified morning grows your streak. Miss or cheat the challenge and the streak feels the cost — so waking up becomes a habit, not a wish.

Built for mornings that stick
User Stories
I stopped negotiating with snooze. The only way to silence it is daylight outside — and somehow that made mornings feel winnable.
Front door mode is ruthless in the best way. I’m downstairs, shoes on, photo taken before my brain can invent an excuse.
The morning photos aren’t for social media — they’re proof. Looking at last week’s streak feels like watching myself keep a promise.
Download Sunlight, set one outdoor wake alarm, and let daylight do the accountability.
FAQ
Yes. Sunlight is designed so the alarm keeps sounding until a live camera capture passes the outdoor daylight check — gallery photos and indoor workarounds don’t count.
Use Balcony mode or another open-sky option available in the app. You still need outdoor or open-air daylight — not a window selfie from under the covers.
No. Sunlight is a habit accountability tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace advice from a doctor, therapist, or sleep specialist.
