Rouse lets you wake up to your own audio. Import an audio file, choose the section you want, save it as a reusable alarm sound, and schedule your alarm using Apple’s system-managed alarms with AlarmKit. CUSTOM SOUNDS Import supported audio files and create the clip you want to use. CROP YOUR AUDIO Choose the part of a recording you want and preview it before saving. REAL SYSTEM ALARMS Rouse uses Apple’s AlarmKit framework for scheduled alarm delivery, so the app does not need to remain open. BUILD YOUR SOUND LIBRARY Keep reusable sounds on your iPhone and use them across alarms. PLAYLISTS Lifetime Access unlocks named playlists and expanded sound organisation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your alarm schedules and imported audio stay on this iPhone. Rouse does not upload your audio to a developer-operated server. NO ACCOUNT No account or sign-in is required. NO SUBSCRIPTION Rouse has no recurring subscription. FREE VERSION The free version includes one alarm and one imported sound or crop. LIFETIME ACCESS One purchase unlocks unlimited alarms, unlimited imported sounds, the full sound library, and named playlists. No recurring fee. ALARM BEHAVIOUR Alarm delivery and custom audio behaviour depend on iOS, AlarmKit, device permissions, and system behaviour. Rouse does not promise that every imported recording will play in full or loop indefinitely. Use the built-in test flow to check your selected sound on your iPhone. Import only audio you own or are licensed to use. CLOCK COLLECTIONS Try a themed bedside clock before you buy. The Halloween Collection adds pumpkins, a friendly ghost, gently moving artwork, a matching clock widget, a StandBy bedside session and a pumpkin app icon. Motion can be paused and respects Reduce Motion. Each collection is a separate optional one-time purchase; Lifetime Access for alarms and sounds is unchanged. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Halloween Collection | $2.99 | one-time | | Lifetime Access | $3.99 | one-time | ## Is Rouse safe?
