Emberwake

Fall asleep

A crackling log fire on your nightstand

Flames curl up over split logs. Sparks drift into a starry sky. A low roar and a soft crackle fill the room.

Set the sleep timer and the fire burns down with you. The logs char and crumble into glowing coals, the stars come out, the sound fades away, and the screen goes dark on its own. Every flame is drawn live and every crackle is made fresh on your phone, so no two nights are quite the same.

Wake up

Wake to a sunrise, every morning

Before your alarm, your screen glows from a starry night through deep blue, rose and gold as the sun climbs over the hills, and your phone's backlight rises with it. Birds begin to sing. Your alarm fades in to reach full volume right on time. You wake up gently, to a brighter room.

• Up to eight alarms, each on the days you choose
• Rise with the real sun, or set a time, and never wake late
• Birdsong, a stream, a breeze or wind chimes, or wake to a storm
• Chimes, bells, beeps, or your own favourite track
• Snooze with a tap, and hold to stop, so no sleepy swipe turns it off

Set it and sleep

From last light to first light

Pop your phone on charge and Emberwake takes care of the night. Your phone sleeps as usual, and Emberwake wakes it right on time, straight over the lock screen.

Your alarm rings at the phone's alarm volume, so it sounds even on silent. Snooze, stop, then relight the fire for a slow start to the day.
