My alarm didn't wake me up.
Make sure your phone isn't on silent or Do Not Disturb with alarms blocked, and that Dayrise has alarm permissions enabled in Settings > Dayrise. Also double-check your wake time and repeat days under the Alarm section in the app's Settings tab.
Why does it need my camera?
Dayrise verifies you're actually outside in real daylight before it marks your morning light as complete. Your photo is only used for that check — it isn't saved, shared, or posted anywhere.
Why does it need my location?
Location is used to look up your local sunrise time so we can tell you when the sun is actually up. It's optional — Dayrise still works without it.
What's Early Riser Mode?
When it's on, your alarm keeps going off every minute until you check in outside with a daylight photo. When it's off, dismissing the alarm turns it off for good and logging your sunlight is entirely up to you. You can toggle this anytime in Settings.
How do I reset my streak or data?
Dayrise doesn't use accounts — everything is stored on your device. Deleting and reinstalling the app will reset your streak and settings.
