An Impressive Amount of Light

At a distance of 30 cm from the light source, inti SQUARE gives off 3,500 lux, helping you wake up with light that's just like daylight on a beautiful day.

Connect to the App

Features include "sunrise" mode, which enables you to set your wake-up time and sound source, and other options to easily control the time you get up every day.

Simple Design
+ User-Friendly Controls

The product design may be simple, but it includes all of the features you need. It is also controllable using actual buttons. The rear stand can be adjusted to different angles, enabling you to position the alarm wherever you like, whether it's by your bedside or on the wall.

Compact Size

At 4.7 inches, the unit is no bigger than an iPhone 6! It is small and light enough to be by your side at any time, whether working at your desk or studying. In fact, it is so compact (12 cm x 12 cm) and light (195 g) that you can easily take it with you on holiday or to work.

Using inti SQUARE

Simply let the light reach your eyes for 5 to 30 minutes per day, while still lying in bed if you wish. (Just like the sun, please don't look directly at the light.)

You can also absorb light while eating your breakfast or getting ready in the morning. You can use the light while at your desk at work too.

You can use inti SQUARE whatever you're doing, so it won't take up any of your precious time.

Reviews from Japan

I really appreciate the times I wake up naturally, rather than being woken up by an alarm...

I've only been using it for two days, and I'm already sleeping better at night. Maybe it's too early to tell that it's clearly very effective, but I've got a good feeling about it! I'm going to try it for a while and if I'm happy, I'll be recommending it to friends and family.

I'm sure it varies from person to person, but this has had a huge effect for me personally...

I used to set my alarm for 6:30 and get up at precisely that time. I noticed the effects of using this alarm clock straight away, from the very next day. I'm now able to wake up almost 20-30 minutes earlier than my usual time.

I bought this because I'm not a morning person...

I found it got rid of any lingering sleepiness and woke me up really effectively. It's easy and intuitive to use, and has a stylish design too.

I've never really had any trouble waking up, but I do struggle with mornings...

It's like I have to force my body to move and wait while my brain wakes up. I don't know if having a powerful light naturally flicks a switch in my head, but getting up no longer feels like such an effort. I think this is something I will keep on using for a long time.

Waking up effortlessly from day one...

I was looking forward to using the alarm and tried it as soon as it arrived (although after only three hours sleep). It has enabled me to wake up effortlessly from day one. I had tried using other types of wake-up light alarms previously, but this new product is excellent. First of all, it looks really cool (cute even!) and is easy to use. The biggest difference however is the strength of the light. If you start the day with a light like that, you feel raring to go all day.

I wake up naturally around 10-15 minutes before the alarm time...

Getting up feels a lot less disheartening than when I was being woken up by a regular alarm clock, and I feel less irritable in the morning too. This is a great product.

FAQ

Does it work if your eyes are closed?: Yes. Even when you have your eyes closed before you wake, your eyes will detect the light and your body will start preparing to wake up.
Does the alarm make any sound?: Yes. inti SQUARE also has the sound fuction. If you feel it's uncertain only wake up by the light, you could set both the light and the sound at the beginning.
Isn’t the light bad for your eyes?: Please refrain from non-standard usage such as looking directly at the light from short distances. The light is emitted by LEDs that are safe for your eyes as long as you keep a distance of around 30 cm. We have not received any reports of eye complaints, even from people using our previous wake-up light alarm models.
My children are terrible at getting up in the morning. Will this help?: Yes. If using for a child under the age of eight, please take care to ensure a distance of at least 50 cm, because the child's retinas will still be at the development stages. Many people have used wake-up lights as a means of getting children out of bed, and have been satisfied with the results. Products can be used across a wide age range, from children through to the elderly.
Is this product suitable for pregnant women?: Yes. Unlike pharmaceutical products, devices that produce light have no side effects. This means that they can be used by pregnant women, if they are feeling down for instance. If expectant mothers use the light every morning after becoming pregnant, their child will feel the light too. This can help to develop their biological rhythms before birth and has even been said to become baby sleep straight through the night.
I'm an early bird anyway. Is there any point in me using this alarm?: We believe YES. Even if you are an early bird, bathing in bright light will improve your experience of waking up. There's no reason not to start your day by soaking up bright light!
