# Risemoor

> Risemoor is a bedside sunrise alarm clock in development. It is coming soon: there is no price, no checkout and no ship date. It is not for sale and is not yet FCC authorised.

Risemoor is a small round clock: a frosted translucent dome on a low matte-black base. The time glows through the dome as 62 warm amber dots. Before your alarm, a lamp under the dome brightens slowly from red through amber to warm white, like a sunrise. A hidden speaker plays the alarm and sleep sounds. The whole dome is one button: tap, double-tap or hold it. You set alarms from your phone's browser on your home Wi-Fi, with no app to install. It is powered over USB-C; a 30 W USB-C PD charger is recommended.

Status: designed, not yet built. Every number below comes from the clock's design files; nothing has been measured on a built clock yet.
