See how Sunrise actually works.

A voice-first coach on your desktop. Brain-dump your morning, commit to 2–3 things, get a wrap-up recap at night. No dashboard. No guilt.

Sunrise

Finished the deck right after standup. Sent the budget reply too. Just lunch before my two o'clock now.

Nice - marking both done. Lunch before your call is still open.

Scroll through a day with Sunrise.

Scroll to walk through a full day. The app panel updates at each step: morning dump, goals locked, check-in, wrap-up.

Sunrise
☀️Morning

What's on today? Dump it all — I'll help you pick what matters.

Q2 brief before standup, reply to Sarah, dentist this week, not today…

Listening
☀️01Morning

Dump your brain

Sunrise lives in your menu bar or system tray. When morning hits, hold the mic and say everything: work, errands, the thing you've been avoiding. Talk or type. No setup, no categories.

Pick what today is

Sunrise distills your dump into 2–3 goals, not eight. It defers the rest without shame. When a task is really several steps, it breaks it into a checklist. You build nothing.

Keep talking

Still going? Add a sub-note, a detail, or a correction mid-stream. "Include graphs in Sarah's email." Sunrise folds it into the parent goal. No re-explaining.

It checks in

Across the day Sunrise pulls you back to what matters: a nudge when you need one, never a guilt trip. Tick goals off as you go. Midday and afternoon are optional; start with morning + wrap-up.

See the day land

Same chime at wrap-up. Sunrise counts what actually landed and turns it into a shareable recap card, the streak you'll want to protect tomorrow.

Step 5 of 5

Real examples

Same overwhelm. Three things that actually fit today.

Exactly what you'll see in the app: your brain dump up top, a short coach reply, then 2–3 goals with checkboxes. Everything else waits.

Working from home

Knowledge worker

Everything felt equally urgent.

Sunrise

Standup at ten and I still need the deck. Budget email since Monday. Dentist this week. Inbox is a mess. Call at two.

☀️Morning

Locked in. Standup at ten is the anchor. Deck first, then the budget email. Lunch before your two o'clock.

Freelancer

Multiple clients

Three deadlines, one brain.

Sunrise

Client A wants revisions by EOD. Client B invoice overdue. New proposal feels huge. Gym expires Friday. Grocery shop. Dinner Saturday.

☀️Morning

Locked in. Client A is due today. Send the invoice, then block ninety minutes for the proposal outline.

Solo builder

Indie dev or founder

Opened the laptop with zero clarity.

Sunrise

Build to a tester waiting. PR comment I'm avoiding. Refactor rabbit hole. Prod might be broken. Lunch at one. Resume tonight, not now.

☀️Morning

Locked in. Build and PR comment are the morning. Quick prod check. Refactor and Slack wait.

A rhythm, not a backlog

Four quiet check-ins, across your day.

Sunrise reaches out at the moments that matter, then gets out of your way. Each one takes a few seconds, spoken or typed. Start with morning and wrap-up; add the others when you want a closer rhythm.

☀️8:45

Morning

Asks for your three must-dos before the day gets away from you. Say them out loud, and they become the day’s goals.

Step 1
🌤️12:00

Midday

A quick pull back to the one goal that matters most, while there’s still time to do something about it.

Step 2
🌅15:30

Afternoon

An honest read on what’s still open, grounded in what you’ve actually done. A nudge, never a guilt trip.

Step 3
🌙17:30

Wrap-up

Counts the day against your goals, then asks what rolls over to tomorrow. Nothing important slips through.

Step 4
Bigger picture

Connect daily goals to what you're building.

Horizons are 1–3 durable intentions that persist across days — the things you're actually working toward over weeks or months. Name one to Sunrise and it stays. When a morning goal connects to one, Sunrise links them quietly so the why is always visible.

Goals tied to a horizon carry a quiet “Toward…” hint. The bigger aim, without the noise of a separate planning tool.

Optional context

Nudges that know your day, not a feature list.

Sunrise works out of the box with voice and goals alone. If you want sharper check-ins, flip on context in Settings — calendar by default, GitHub or app usage when they help. Each one shows up as a small chip above your goals, and feeds the coach quietly.

Meetings, commits, and where your time went — only when enabled. Midday can also glance at your screen once, so the nudge matches what you're actually working on.

App usage

One toggle per source. GitHub asks for a token once; app usage stays on your machine. Focus hooks into a macOS Shortcut if you want Do Not Disturb while you work a goal.

Private by design. Voice and reasoning run on secure infrastructure. App usage never leaves your Mac. Nothing sensitive is stored in plain sight on the marketing site — or in the app without your say-so.
