To get light therapy and start your day more energized go get a light box or an alarm clock with one. Sunlight does have a positive effect on us but the light level should be at least 1000 lux for that. With this in mind, some brands like Philips I guess developed a full range of light therapy products, like Philips wake up light. The concept is great but a computer simply doesn’t produce brightness levels high enough to imitate the sunrise. I don’t see how this is something to pay for, sorry.

The minimal brightness levels produced by a computer screen vs the other light you receive from whatever source simply aren't enough to "increase cortisol."
Even if your computer screen was your primary light source, the pseudo-science behind it is still not very convincing for a paid app, especially one with no free demo available. Seriously, I'm sure SOME people would try it, have a placebo effect, and then happily pay! But more app store no-demo-ware for us.
