A brighter way to start your day.
Start your day, the light way.
Rise offers a unique wake-up system that adjusts to your mornings. Depending on the time of year and your local sunrise, our smart alarm clock (Wake) uses either a gradually brightening lamp to simulate a sunrise on dark mornings or a motorized blind opener (Up) to fill your room with natural light when the sun has already risen. This way you always wake up with light—natural or simulated—without needing a phone or internet connection, creating a healthier, more restful start to your day.

How does it work?
Set Your Wake-Up Time.
Begin your journey to a more peaceful morning by setting your wake-up time on the Wake alarm clock. The clock automatically syncs with the local sunrise times, adjusting to the season. This means your wake-up experience will always feel natural, whether it’s the dark winter mornings or bright summer days.
You can also personalize your alarm experience. Use the included SD card to upload your favorite songs or sounds, so you wake up to what feels right for you. Choose from a curated set of alarm tones, or let your playlist be the soundtrack to your morning.
A gradual start to your day.
Half an hour before your alarm time, the Wake clock starts its work. On dark mornings, it gently brightens the built-in lamp, simulating a gradual sunrise, so your body is prepared to wake up naturally. This soft, calming light gradually increases in brightness, helping you ease out of sleep without the jarring sound of a traditional alarm.
On mornings when the sun is already up, Up takes over. The motorized blind opener gradually lifts your blinds, allowing natural sunlight to flood your room. No matter the weather or time of year, the Wake Up Set adapts to your environment to help you wake up with light.
The alarm.
At your designated wake-up time, the Wake alarm clock sounds your chosen alarm. Whether it’s one of the built-in tones or a song you’ve uploaded, the alarm works in harmony with the light, ensuring a gentle transition from sleep to wakefulness.
The combination of light and sound ensures you wake up naturally and without stress—no phones, no loud ringing, just a peaceful start to your day.

How do I install the Up on my existing roller blinds?

What if I have multiple windows in my bedroom?
Can I use my own music with the Wake alarm clock?
Yes, the Wake comes with an SD card that you can overwrite with your own music using the included SD card reader.
Why would I not just get smart devices, e.g., a smart alarm clock and blinds?
Rise products are designed to operate independent from a home network, eliminating the need for smart technology. With Rise, you can leave your phone outside of your bedroom, enhancing privacy and reducing distractions so you can focus on getting a good night's sleep.
How long does the battery last and how do I recharge it?
The battery pack for Up lasts up to 20 days with regular use. You can recharge it using the included USB-C cable and any 5 volts charger.
What materials are used in Rise products?

Is there a warranty on Rise products?

Can I control the Up manually without the Wake?
Yes, the Up can be operated manually using its built-in buttons to open or close the blinds.
Is the biodegradable PLA durable?
Yes, biodegradable PLA (Polylactic Acid) is often considered a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastics, as it is made from renewable resources like corn or sugarcane. However, the decomposition process depends on conditions such as temperature and humidity, and typically only occurs effectively in industrial composting environments. While PLA is biodegradable, it’s still important to dispose of it properly, as it doesn't break down quickly in nature. So, you don’t need to worry about it breaking down while hanging on your window frame.
