Kids app for iPhone & iPad
Little Sunrise
Toddler Clock & Kid Timer
Stay in bed until the sun comes up. Little Sunrise turns a spare iPhone or iPad into an OK-to-wake clock for kids who can't read a clock yet.
The night clock is free. Plus is a one-time purchase.
On screen
Moon: stay in bed
Warm glow: almost time
Sun: you can get up

What it does
Two times, every weekday
Set bedtime and wake-up time for each day of the week. No math, just two times. Change tonight only with one tap: a later morning, a skipped night, or a few extra minutes.
Almost time
An optional warm glow before wake-up, from 5 to 90 minutes. A separate nap mode with its own sun, and a 60-second preview of a whole night to show your child before the first one.
Made for the bedroom
The screen stays on and dims itself to the lowest level at night, in warm colors, so it also works as a soft night light. No sounds at all. It won't wake a sibling.
Kid-proof
Little hands can't open the settings: the parent area needs a long, silent press plus a question in words, or your own PIN. A step-by-step guide sets up Guided Access.
Daytime visual timer
“Ten more minutes at the park.” A colored circle shrinks as time runs out, so transitions feel fair and predictable. The basic timer is free.
Plus, bought once
8 more themes, siblings on a split screen, remote control from your own phone on the same Wi-Fi, and ready-made timers. Shared through Family Sharing. The night clock never goes behind a paywall.
One night, three signals
A calm moon means “stay in bed”. A warm glow means “almost time”. The sun means “you can get up”. Times below are an example schedule.

Questions
The clock stopped during the night
Little Sunrise has to stay open on the screen all night. Keep the device plugged in, turn off Low Power Mode / Battery Saver, and use Guided Access (iPhone/iPad) or screen pinning (Android) so the app can't be closed. The pre-bed checklist in the app walks you through it.
How do I get back to the parent screen?
Press and hold the top-right corner of the child screen for 3 seconds, then answer the question (or enter your PIN).
I bought Plus but it isn't unlocked
Open the parent area, go to the Plus screen and tap Restore Purchases. Plus is shared with your family through Family Sharing.
Remote control can't find the clock
Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network, and Local Network access must be allowed for Little Sunrise in Settings. Remote control is part of Plus on the clock device.
Does it make any sound?
No. Little Sunrise is completely silent, so it won't wake a sibling.
Privacy
Little Sunrise collects no data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs that phone home. We never receive anything about you or your child.
