You set five alarms because you don't trust the first one. Flint is built so you only need one. It rings through Silent Mode. It rings through Do Not Disturb. And it does not stop until you press and hold, a deliberate gesture your half-asleep hand can't fake. Let go early and it comes back in two minutes. Every time. ONE ALARM, NOT A STACK No backup chain to maintain. No 6:00, 6:05, 6:10 pile-up in your Clock app. Set the time you actually want to be up, and Flint takes responsibility for the rest. HOLD TO STOP Swiping and tapping are things you do in your sleep. Holding for a full second isn't. The dismiss gesture is designed to require just enough intent to wake you properly. YOUR WHOLE WEEK ON ONE SCREEN Seven days, seven times, no scrolling list. Tap a day to change it, drag to group days that share a wake-up. Skip tomorrow's alarm without deleting it. 24 SOUNDS, RANKED BY INTENSITY Filter by how hard you need to be hit. Start gentle and work up, or go straight to the top of the scale. ( 12 are free, 12 epics included in PRO ) NO WHITE FLASH AT 5 A.M. The wake screen is ember on black. Warm, dim, and readable in a dark room. It brightens gradually rather than blinding you the instant it fires. A TIMER THAT ACTUALLY RINGS Pasta, a nap, the laundry. Start a timer in one tap, ask Siri, or tap the widget, which also shows when your next alarm really is. It rings even on silent, and the countdown stays on your Lock Screen. BRING YOUR OWN SOUND (PRO) Import any track from your library and wake up to it. Yours, not ours. WAKE-UPS YOU CAN'T SLEEP THROUGH (PRO) Pick a real task for a given day. Go photograph a spot you registered, scan a barcode, or dial in the answer to a math problem. Until you do it, the alarm keeps coming back. All of it happens on your phone. ROUTINES FOR ANYTHING ELSE (PRO) Brush your teeth. Take your pills. Set a photo reminder for a habit that has nothing to do with waking up, at a set time, right after you get up, or right before bed. Confirm with a photo and check your history on a small calendar. WHAT YOUR NIGHTS SOUND LIKE (PRO) Flint can listen while you sleep and keep only the noisy moments. Snoring, coughing, talking, the neighbour's door at 3 a.m. Each night gets a score out of 100 built from what it actually heard, not from a guess. Play every sound back in a small player, one after the other. KEEP THE COUGH, LOSE THE FAN (PRO) Open a sound in the mixer. Pull the background down, shape what's left with the EQ, and keep only the seconds that matter. The original stays untouched, and the audio never leaves your phone. NEW PHONE, SAME FLINT (PRO) Export your schedule, routines, missions, sounds, and night recordings into one file. Import it on the new phone and everything comes back. Recordings merge in, so nothing already there gets deleted. PAY ONCE, OR DON'T PAY The free version is not a trial. Your whole week, full reliability, 12 sounds and the timer, forever. Pro is one purchase that adds the 12 epic sounds, your own audio, wake-up missions, night recordings and the mixer. There is no subscription and there never will be. BUILT PRIVATE No account. No sign-in. No cloud sync. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Flint collects nothing because it never sends anything anywhere. Everything stays on your iPhone. Requires iOS 26 or later. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Flint PRO | $4.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-23 New: backup Export your schedule, routines, missions, sounds, and night recordings into one file, and bring it all to a new phone in a minute. (Pro) New: routines A photo reminder for anything that isn't the alarm. Brushing your teeth, taking your meds. Pick a photo, then a time: a set clock time, right after you wake up, or right before bed. (Pro) A place to see it all A small calendar shows your confirmed routines week by week or month by month, and a today strip shows what's left to do. Clearer wake-up missions The photo and barcode check now shows a real window in the middle of the screen, with a border that turns green and a checkmark the moment it matches. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-15 New: the timer Right in the middle of the home screen. One-tap presets, Siri, a Control Center button, and a widget that also shows your next alarm. It rings even on silent. Hear your nights, properly (Pro) A player now sits at the bottom of each night: back, play, next, flag, export. Tap a sound on the graph to pick it. Sounds play louder and clearer. New: the mixer (Pro) A fan drowning out a cough? Open the sound in the mixer, pull the background down, shape it with the EQ, and keep just the part that matters. Flint saves a cleaned copy next to the original. Fewer sounds called "Noise" Flint now recognizes footsteps, fans, rain, traffic, music, whispering and more. Nights you already recorded get relabeled. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-07 Wake-up missions (Pro) Pick a real task to turn the alarm off. Photograph a spot you registered, scan a barcode, or dial in the answer to a math problem. Until it's done, the alarm keeps coming back. Nights (Pro) Flint can now listen while you sleep. It keeps only the noisy moments, tags them, and gives each night a score out of 100 based on what it actually heard. A calendar lets you look back. Everything stays on your phone. Flint still does one thing: wake you up, for real. ### 1.3.2 — 2026-08-20 Reliability In rare cases the schedule could erase itself and no alarm rang in the morning. The cause is fixed and if Flint ever finds an empty schedule, it now re-arms itself. Skipping an alarm Skipping an alarm now asks you to confirm, so one stray tap can't silence your morning. And a skipped alarm is obvious at a glance, the time is struck through, with one button to undo. Fewer permissions Flint no longer asks for photo library access to import a sound, and the app is lighter. Flint still does one thing: wake you up, for real. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-15 Reliability Every alarm in the chain now rings exactly on time, the second one no longer lags behind. Hold-to-stop vibration Now felt reliably, even if your finger shifts slightly while you're holding. Flint still does one thing: wake you up, for real. ## Apps similar to Flint | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [SnapOut: Alarm Clock Missions](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/snapout-alarm-clock-missions/id6802610016) | — | Free | Utilities | | [KMplus](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kmplus/id6751862845) | 4.0 (1) | Free | Utilities | | [Heavy Sleeper Alarm - Hypnos](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/heavy-sleeper-alarm-hypnos/id1530729294) | — | Free | Utilities | | [MKLoRa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mklora/id1562806152) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Dunova VPN: Fast & Secure](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dunova-vpn-fast-and-secure/id6776506440) | 4.4 (7) | Free | Utilities | | [PDF Maker & Edit: Text to PDF](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pdf-maker-and-edit-text-to-pdf/id6755083333) | 3.0 (2) | Free | Utilities | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
