About Lark: Start Your Day Right
Lark is the alarm that doesn't take "five more minutes" for an answer. Snoozing isn't a willpower problem. It's a negotiation you hold at your weakest moment. Lark ends it: your alarm keeps ringing until you prove you're actually up. HOW YOU PROVE IT Pick your mission. When the alarm rings, completing it is the only way to silence it: • Item Search: Lark picks one of your things (toothbrush, coffee mug, mirror) and you hunt it down with your camera • Exercise: push-ups, sit-ups, or squats, counted rep by rep by your camera • Scan a Code: stick a QR code in the bathroom and let the walk be the mission • Speak Your Line: read your morning affirmation out loud • Quick Math: wake your brain up, no camera needed Dismiss it without finishing and Lark re-alarms. Getting up stops being optional. It becomes the shortest path back to silence. MEET YOUR LARK Your companion is a little origami bird that grows with your streak: Hatchling, Fledgling, Songbird, Soaring, and at 30 straight mornings the Golden Lark. Win and it flies. Lose one and it droops. Yes, you'll feel it. (Every 7th straight win banks a streak freeze, so one rough morning won't undo a great month.) YOUR ISLAND Your bird lives somewhere, and every morning you win makes it more. Wins pay seeds, seeds buy land: tap the water and the coast pushes out where you asked, hills rising as it grows. Arrange it however you like. Overgrowth sprouts overnight and pulling it pays seeds back; a chest washes up the morning after a win. A place only you could have, because nobody else woke up the same mornings. VISIT EACH OTHER Friends who won today turn up on your island, name and level over their head. Open yours and they can walk around it: the coast you bought, the things you placed, the bird you raised. LEADERBOARDS Reach level 5 and the rankings open. See where you stand against your friends, your country, and everyone else waking up with Lark, by XP, streak, wins, or best run. GROW YOUR FLOCK Medals hatch new birds: cardinal, blue jay, raven, owl, seagull, flying fish, pterodactyl, and at 30 straight mornings the phoenix. Nine in all, each growing up its own way, so a new companion is a whole new road. Dress them from the wardrobe (the cowboy hat is on the house) and pick the sky they fly in. WIN YOUR MORNINGS Every mission ends in a Morning Win: your streak, your time from ring to done, how you compare to your own average. Wins pay XP, with bonuses for rising early and finishing fast, and the Journey tab keeps score: your level, your evolution path, 18 medals, your consistency ring, and a morning-by-morning log. BUILT FOR THE NIGHT BEFORE Every evening, Lark confirms tomorrow's alarm is armed and tells you the bedtime that buys a full night's sleep. No surprises at 6 AM. Put the widget on your home screen and your streak and next alarm are there without opening it. REAL ALARMS Built on Apple's AlarmKit, Lark rings like the built-in Clock: through Silent mode, through Focus. A real alarm, not a notification pretending to be one. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No tracking. No ads. Alarms and missions run entirely on this device and never depend on a network to ring. Camera frames are processed on-device, never stored or uploaded. Spoken missions use on-device speech recognition whenever your device supports it. Sign-in is optional, and everything still works without it. With an account, your bird, streaks, island, and alarms back up securely, so a new iPhone brings your whole morning protocol with you. Delete your account in Settings any time and your data goes with it. THE DEAL Some extras are optional one-time purchases: outfits for your bird (a few unlock a Morning Game), premium skies and building styles. None is ever needed to wake up. The alarm you can't cheat. Tomorrow's you says thanks. Terms of Use (EULA): https://larkapp.co/terms Privacy Policy: https://larkapp.co/privacy
What’s new
Version 1.13.0 · Updated October 21, 2026
Meet Morning Games: short, cheerful games that carry on your wake-up. One is offered after you win a morning, and you can replay any of them from the sun button on your island. • Shell Hunt is free for everyone. Snow Day, Cattle Wrangling, Rainbow Flight, Morning Drive, Bank Heist and Ocean Rescue each come with a cosmetic for your bird. Wear it and your island changes too, from a snowy hill to a coral reef. • Watch any game play itself before you try it. • New for your bird: Sunglasses (a sunny beach-day island, and golden shells in Shell Hunt) and Scuba Gear (a dive mask and a reef island). • Some hats do a little more under the right Sky. • For a limited time: Lantern Dawn, a free Halloween game. Light the lanterns and send the friendly ghosts home before dawn. Your mornings, rewarded: • The win screen tells you tomorrow's alarm is set, and can ring a one-time alarm again with one tap. • Tell Lark what your mornings are for, and it keeps count. See how many of your last seven mornings you won. • Missed two mornings in a week? Lark suggests one gentle change, right under that alarm. Share a milestone, a medal or a best score as a card of your bird, with a link that opens it in Lark. Plus calm island music with a sound for everything you touch, a new What's New page, bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
