Rise & Shine

Rise & Shine offers a natural way to wake up with your iPhone. For individuals affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), waking up to a gradually fading light source can bring added benefits.

If you prefer a gentler awakening instead of sudden alarms, this app might be for you. In addition to these features, Rise & Shine provides standard alarm clock functions and more:

• Light: The option to fade up the light slowly for a more natural wake-up experience, which can start up to 60 minutes before the alarm time. Alternatively, a rapid flashing light can be used for waking without an audible alarm.
• Photo: Customize your wake-up experience by selecting an image from your photo library.
• Sound: Choose from over 20 built-in sounds or create a wake-up playlist from your iPod music collection.
• Clock: Features a large LCD clock display with detailed information about the next alarm time. The interface offers nine different clock colors and supports both portrait and landscape modes.
• Alarm: Offers various alarm modes including Ambient, Standard, Music, and Seasonal. The app also supports sound fading over 60 minutes, torch mode by shaking the device, vibrate mode, and a 5-minute snooze option.

It is important to note that this application requires running in the foreground and it is advisable to keep your device plugged in due to the duration the app operates.
