Sunbird is the progressive alarm app from BentLo Labs. It starts with a nudge and escalates only when the first signal fails — until the morning actually happens.

What Sunbird promises
An alarm that behaves like it means it.
Sunbird is meant to be more than a timer with a chime. It should keep pressure on, prove the user is awake, and make the final dismissal meaningful instead of accidental.
Starts gentle, then gets serious only when needed.
Built around wake-through-silence behavior for real mornings.
Tracks what happened after the alarm: dismissed, snoozed, failed, or confirmed.
Designed as an escalation engine, not a pile of disconnected alarms.
Why it works
It treats waking as a sequence, not a single event.
Sunbird assumes the first alarm may fail. So it escalates, verifies, and checks back until the morning is actually won.
Alarm that keeps its promise
Sunbird is designed to keep escalating until the user is actually awake, not merely alerted.
Verification, not vibes
Each stage can require a response, a move, or a check so the morning becomes real.
Built for silenced phones
The product is shaped around the failure mode most alarm apps ignore: the phone is quiet, but the user still needs to wake up.
Escalation ladder
Six stages of wake
This is the product philosophy in one line: start soft, gain force, and keep checking until the user is actually up.
1/6
Stage 2
Wake
Volume and urgency increase when the first signal is ignored.
Stage 3
Engage
A persistent full-screen alarm keeps the moment alive until you respond.
Stage 4
Move
Sunbird pushes the user out of bed with a physical or attention-grabbing prompt.
Stage 5
Prove It
Verification locks in the wake state so the alarm does not end too early.
Stage 6
Lock In
Follow-up checks prevent the classic half-awake, back-to-sleep failure.
