Every alarm eventually stops working. Your brain learns the sound, files it under “safe,” and sleeps right through it — a few days is all it takes. Beckon is built to defeat exactly that. Beckon wakes you by calling your own name, out loud, in a real voice — at a moment you can't predict, in a way that's never identical twice. There's nothing for your sleeping brain to get used to. THE ALARM YOU CAN'T GET USED TO • It says YOUR NAME. A spoken voice calling your name cuts through sleep in a way a generic tone never will. • Never the same twice. The wake moment and the escalation vary every morning, so habituation never sets in. • Prove you're actually awake. To turn it off you complete a quick tap-the-light reaction check — a real “you're up” test, not a button you can swat in your sleep. It's different every time, so you can't learn to fake it. • Stand up to shut it off (optional). Turn on Physical Wake Proof and the alarm ends only once you're physically upright — Beckon reads your phone's angle, and on Face ID devices the front camera, to confirm you're sitting up with your eyes open. It runs entirely on-device; no image is ever saved or shared, and there's always a “Just let me up” escape. • Reliable by design. Built on Apple's AlarmKit, so it fires through Silent mode, Focus, and a locked phone. MADE FOR HEAVY AND DEEP SLEEPERS If you've slept through every alarm you own, set five alarms a night, or wake up and turn it off with no memory of doing it — Beckon is for you. A KINDER MORNING Wake up and Beckon hands you a little “you beat sleep inertia in N seconds” card to start the day with a small win. It quietly learns how you wake and tunes tomorrow to you. Everything runs on-device — no account, no cloud, your data stays on your phone. FREE TO RELY ON The core alarm is free and fully reliable — it will wake you up, no paywall on the thing that matters. Beckon Pro unlocks extra voices, recorded-voice wake (your own or a loved one's), advanced adaptation, and premium wake themes.

Beckon reads your phone's angle, and on Face ID devices the front camera, to confirm you're sitting up with your eyes open — all on-device, no image ever saved or shared, with a “Just let me up” escape any time. Turn it on during setup or in Settings. Also new: a gentle sunrise wake that brightens as you get up, and a smarter streak that skips the days your alarm isn't scheduled — so weekends no longer break your streak. Thank you for waking up with Beckon. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-24 Fixes a bug where the wake-up sequence could fail to start right after you dismissed the alarm — it now begins immediately, every time. Plus small reliability improvements under the hood. Thank you for waking up with Beckon. ### 1.0 — 2026-06-24 No release notes. ## More apps by Soyeon Noh - [ZeroCal](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zerocal/id1541532269) - [Multilist: GTD Kanban Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/multilist-gtd-kanban-planner/id6475388941) - [Reelboard: Storyboard Editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/reelboard-storyboard-editor/id6511211400) - [Datesnap: Flyer to Calendar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/datesnap-flyer-to-calendar/id6612007924) - [Handsell](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/handsell/id6670725299) - [Daybrick: Daily Time Blocks](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daybrick-daily-time-blocks/id6737696279) All apps by Soyeon Noh: https://appshunter.io/developer/1201270238 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
