Three moments
One product, three timings, three temperatures. Each is a single HomeKit scene that fires on its own and quietly hands the room back when it's done.
An automatic warm-bright wash that kicks the day off. Cortisol gets the signal, melatonin steps aside, and the room knows it’s morning.
Duration · 10 minutes
Five minutes of daylight, on cue. Your room hits 6500 K and full brightness, you stand up, look out a window, and come back sharper.
Duration · 5 minutes
Cool, even, slightly cinematic. Your camera looks like a window in a Renaissance painting and you look like a person who has slept.

Why this works
Office light hovers around 300–500 lux. Outdoor light at noon is closer to 50,000. That gap is enough to flatten mood, alertness, and sleep timing — especially in winter.
Clinical bright-light therapy uses a single thirty-minute session every morning. Bask uses what the alertness and mood literature also supports — shorter, repeated exposures woven into the workday. Same melanopsin pathway, smaller doses, on a cadence that fits a real life.
Bask is not an FDA-cleared SAD treatment. It's alertness, mood, and circadian support during the workday — backed by 30+ peer-reviewed sources.
The international scientific consensus for healthy daytime indoor lighting (CIE TN 015 : 2023). Bask's break delivers ~10×.

Brief intermittent bright-light exposures measurably shift circadian rhythm, alertness, and mood.
How it works
Step one
Pair Philips Hue or any Matter color-temperature bulb to Apple Home. Bask discovers everything automatically — no separate hub login, no Hue developer key.
Step two
Pick the times that fit your day, or let Bask weave breaks around your calendar and Focus modes. Mornings weight heavier — that’s when light helps most.
Step three
When the break fires, your room goes daylight-bright for five minutes. Bask logs the session to Apple Health and restores your normal light when it’s done.
