Elevate Your Morning

Tired of the harsh, instant jump from a black screen to the bright farm every morning? Cinematic Wake adds a high-quality, customizable fade-in effect that mimics the way your eyes adjust to light when waking up.

Using quadratic easing math, the transition feels "heavy" and organic—lingering in the darkness for a split second before smoothly sweeping into the morning light.
