No more snooze loop
Skyshot keeps ringing until you prove daylight. Backup alarms follow up if you try to sleep through it, so getting up becomes the easy path.
Sunlight alarm clock for iPhone
Your alarm keeps ringing until you show it the sky.
Skyshot gets you out of bed and into the morning light. When it rings, step to a window or outside, point your camera up, and watch the sun rise on your screen.

Why Skyshot
A gentler way to actually get up.
Real light, first thing
The mission is simple: find the sky. That puts daylight in your eyes within minutes of waking, which is exactly what your body clock listens for.
A sky worth collecting
Every morning's sky lands in your Sky Collage. Day by day it becomes a quiet, beautiful record of the mornings you showed up for.
How it works
Three steps. Every morning.
Set an alarm with backup alarms on. Then, every morning:
1It rings. Show it the sky.
Tap Show the sky, walk to a window or step outside, and point your camera up. Sky, light and angle are checked on your iPhone.
2There it is.
Hold it for a moment and the screen floods with daylight. The backup alarms stand down and your streak grows by one.
3Your sky, collected.
Today's sky joins your Sky Collage. The sky never looks the same twice, so the grid keeps getting better.
Morning light
Your body clock runs on light.
Your internal clock resets itself every day, and light in the morning is one of the strongest signals it uses. Researchers generally recommend getting outside light early in the day.
Daylight does this far better than indoor lamps. Even a grey, overcast sky is many times brighter than a typical room, so a minute at the window counts.
Skyshot is a wellness alarm clock, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. Never look directly at the sun.

Sky Collage
The sky never looks the same twice.
Every sky you show Skyshot becomes a tile in your collage: pink dawns, heavy clouds, the first clear morning of spring. Free keeps your last 7 days. Pro keeps every morning and turns your collage into a poster you can share.
Private by design.
Your mornings are yours. Skyshot was built to know as little about you as possible.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can I just turn the alarm off?
iPhone always shows a system Stop button on alarms, and Skyshot respects that. If you stop it without finishing the sky check, backup alarms ring again at +2, +4 and +6 minutes. Showing the sky cancels the ones that are left.
What if it's cloudy, raining or still dark?
Clouds and rain count. Any real sky works. When your alarm rings before sunrise, Skyshot switches to window mode: a window toward the sky is enough. And if the check still can't see the sky after three tries, you can count the day anyway, so you're never stuck.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The sky check uses Apple's on-device Vision framework. Images stay on your iPhone and are only used for your Sky Collage.
Which iPhones are supported?
Skyshot needs iOS 26 or later. It uses Apple's AlarmKit, so alarms ring even in Silent mode and Focus.
How much does it cost?
Skyshot is free to download and use: one alarm, the sky mission, backup alarms, your streak and the last 7 days of your Sky Collage. Skyshot Pro adds unlimited alarms, your full collage history, a shareable collage poster, mission difficulty levels and three extra alarm sounds. It's weekly (with a 3-day free trial), yearly or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are always shown in the app first, and you can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
Do you collect any data?
Only if you allow it. With your consent the app sends anonymous usage events tied to a random install ID, which you can see in Settings → Privacy. No name, email, location or photos. Details are in the privacy policy.
