The alarm clock
that doesn't
hate you.
Dawn light, your own music, a colour screen you can actually read, and a web page to set it all from. Printed and built to order.

Every alarm clock we could buy woke us the same way: a flat electronic tone, at full volume, from silence. So we built one that starts with light half an hour early, then eases a song in — and put everything else we wanted into it while we were there.
01 — lighting
Wake up to colour, not to noise.
RGB LEDs build the room from a deep red through amber to gold before a single note plays, so your body has time to surface. The full spectrum is available — pick any hue and any brightness from the knob, or from the web page, or switch the light off entirely and keep just the sound.
- Full RGB, adjustable hue and brightness
- Gradual build-up before the alarm sounds
- Independent of the display — bright light, dark screen, or either alone
16 million colours · fully dimmable · off is a colour too
02 — audio
Your soundtrack,
your alarm.
Load MP3s onto the 4 GB micro SD card in the back — a song, a podcast intro, a field recording, whatever gets you out of bed. Each alarm keeps its own track, its own volume and its own days, so weekdays and weekends do not have to sound the same.
- Any MP3, added by dragging it onto the card
- Per-alarm track, volume and weekday schedule
- Built-in speaker — nothing else to plug in
03 — display & controls
Readable at 3am. Dark when you want it.
A 128 × 160 full-colour LCD shows the time, the date, which alarms are armed and what you are editing. Brightness is adjustable, and one press turns the screen off completely while everything keeps running behind it. Four buttons and a rotary knob handle the rest — no app required.
- Five modes: Time, Alarm, LED, Song, Settings
- Rotary encoder for values, four buttons for everything else
- Screen off, alarms still armed
04 — connected
Sets itself. Updates itself.
On WiFi the clock fetches the time from the network, so it is never slow, never fast, and never needs setting after a power cut. Open its address in a browser and the same settings appear as a web page — easier than a knob when you are adding five alarms at once.
It also checks for new firmware on its own and installs it, verifying the download before it swaps over. An interrupted update cannot brick it: the clock simply starts on the version it already had.
