About RiseCue
RiseCue helps you wake up naturally by aligning your alarm with the sunrise. Instead of jarring alarms at arbitrary times, wake with the sun and start each day feeling refreshed and energized. WAKE WITH NATURE Your body's internal clock is designed to wake with natural light. RiseCue calculates the exact sunrise time for your location and wakes you at the perfect moment—whether that's at first light, sunrise, or just after. FLEXIBLE TIMING OPTIONS Choose when to wake relative to sunrise: • Nautical Dawn – Wake as the sky begins to lighten (~60 min before sunrise) • Civil Dawn – Wake as the horizon becomes visible (~30 min before sunrise) • Sunrise – Wake right as the sun appears • After Sunrise – Ease into the morning (10 min after sunrise) BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED RiseCue features a calm, meditative interface that adapts to the time of day. Experience a peaceful dawn aesthetic in the morning, bright daylight during the day, and a soothing night mode in the evening. PERFECT FOR • Early risers wanting to sync with natural light • Anyone looking to improve their sleep routine • People who want a gentler, more natural wake-up experience Wake better. Live better. Rise with the sun.
