Description
SunUp sends you reminders every morning at sunrise, so you can get the benefit of early morning sunlight. It aims to be a "set and forget" solution that will automatically update the reminder time every day based on your location. Why? Not only is it a lovely time of the day to be outside, it also has numerous health benefits. SunUp was inspired by the Huberman Lab podcast. Prof. Huberman says: "Viewing sunlight within the first hours of waking (as soon as you can, even if through cloud cover) increases early-day cortisol release (the ideal time for elevated cortisol) and prepares the body for sleep later that night. A morning spike in cortisol will also positively influence your immune system, metabolism and ability to focus during the day.
Further, morning sunlight helps regulate your “circadian clock” — the body’s mechanism for anticipating when to wake up and go to sleep — and it manages other biological processes like hunger and body temperature. "

Ratings and Reviews
I’ve been waiting for an app like this!
I have been inspired by Andrew Huberman and his insights on the importance of early morning sunlight, but I lacked the discipline to figure out when the sunrise was occurring each morning and setting my alarm accordingly. I appreciate someone taking the time to create an app to address this particular challenge. Plus I love the simple design and ease of use.

Thank you, fellow Huberman fan. I appreciate the kind review. Indeed, simplicity and ease of use was the major design goal. Let me know if you have any suggestions to make it better.
Great tool to establish new healthy habit
Getting the notification to go outside each morning has been a great help in establishing this healthy habit. Easy to use and works well.
