Music alarm
Pick any song or playlist and wake up gradually to it instead of a buzzer. You're in control of what you hear first. A calmer, more human way to start the day.
Connect your account and LuxRise becomes a true Spotify alarm clock, or an Apple Music alarm, your call. Pick any track, playlist, album, or artist, set your wake time, and that’s the first thing you hear. New to this? Here’s exactly how to set a song as your iPhone alarm.
Volume eases up gradually over time, instead of a jarring shock, refined haptics included.
The best alarm is the one you remembered to set. At a time you choose, LuxRise nudges you to set tomorrow’s, and you can set it in a single tap, straight from the notification. Adjust it or turn it off in Settings, whenever you like.
The promise
Phone on silent? Wi-Fi drops at 3am? Music app logged out? You still wake up. Every time. LuxRise quietly keeps a backup ready, so your morning never hangs on a perfect connection.
