## What is Bedside Alarm Clock?

Describe the clock you want. Nightside designs it.

Type a sentence — "Japanese neon numbers", "a vintage brass dial with Roman numerals", or just "I'm a peaceful person who loves the sea" — and Nightside designs a complete clock for it: the dial, hands, numerals and colours, with a background picture painted to match. Preview it on your real Home screen, change it in words ("remove the second hand", "make it warmer"), and keep the ones you love. No other clock app on the App Store does this.

A CLOCK YOU CAN READ FROM BED
• Large time, adjustable to the size you want, in 12- or 24-hour format, with optional seconds
• Bedside mode: a quiet, dimmable clock with a brightness dial, black or warm red low-light colours, and controls that fade until you tap
• Keep the screen on while it stands on your nightstand or dock, with the next alarm and today's weather at a glance
• Portrait and landscape, iPhone and iPad, and layouts for foldable iPhone

ALARMS YOU CAN TRUST
• Repeat on any days, pick a tone, choose snooze of 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and see exactly when the next alarm rings before you save
• Skip just the next occurrence of a repeating alarm without turning it off
• On iOS 26 and later, alarms are system alarms that can ring through Silent mode and Focus once you allow them
• Say "Stop" or "Snooze" to the ringing clock, hands-free (English)
• Clear status on every alarm: active, snoozing, skipped, or needs permission — never a switch that looks on while nothing is scheduled

MAKE IT YOURS
• 33 clock faces: 13 digital (flip, segment, LED-style, mono, stacked and more) and 20 analog dials
• 14 curated looks such as Moderno, Station, Night Garden, Starlight and Sun Path
• Use your own photo as the background, or let Nightside paint one from your description
• Save as many styles as you like and switch in a tap

WEATHER, WITHOUT THE FUSS
• Current temperature and conditions for your location or a city you choose, in °C or °F
• Works without location permission when you pick a city
• Honest freshness: you always see when the weather was last updated

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND WRIST
• Clock widget with the time, next alarm and weather, plus a one-tap Bedside launcher
• Apple Watch: see the next alarm, switch alarms on and off, and stop or snooze from your wrist

FREE AND PREMIUM
Nightside is free to download with one alarm, Bedside mode, voice Stop and Snooze, the Moderno look and a small ad banner that never appears on the clock, in Bedside mode or while an alarm rings. Nightside Premium removes ads and unlocks described (AI) styles, every face and look, photo backgrounds, weather and additional alarms. Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription that renews until cancelled; the price is shown in the app before you subscribe. If you bought ClockIT when it was a paid app, Premium is included for life — just open the app on the same Apple ID.

Alarms need notification or alarm permission and depend on your device's sound settings. Weather data by Apple Weather. Described styles send only your description to Nightside's server to design the clock; nothing else leaves your device.

### 5/5 — White line at the bottom is a bit too bright

*2024-03-12, version 3.0.6*

The white line at the bottom is not necessary!
Stays to bright during the night for my liking.
More adjustment to brightness would be perfect. 
Try sleeping with the clock in your face, would like to dim a bit more.
And I would be nice to have several font choice. 
Keep it simple and elegant.
