Wake up to a voice that actually gets you moving. StartSmart replaces the buzzer with a short motivational speech — written for whatever you've got on that day, spoken in a voice you choose, and playing straight from the lock screen. No unlocking. No opening the app. HOW IT WORKS • Tell StartSmart what tomorrow is about — a workout, an exam, a first day • Pick your voice and your tone • Set the alarm and put your phone down • It rings on time and talks you out of bed TEN VOICES, TEN KINDS OF PUSH Drill Sergeant Drew · Girl Bestie · Chill Bro · Motivational Mike · Calm Kyle · Angry Allen · Sassy Sophie · British Boss · Coach Carter · Aussie Mate Hear every one of them before you pick — previews play instantly, offline. FOUR TONES • Gentle — for the mornings that are already hard • Energetic — gym days • Tough love — when you've snoozed all week • Storyteller — when you'd rather think than be shouted at WAKE UP TO YOUR OWN SOUND • Turn the audio from a video you've saved into your alarm tone • Or type your own script and hear it in the voice you picked • Name your sounds and reuse them across alarms STAY CONSISTENT • Wake-up streaks built from mornings you actually got up • Your earliest and latest wake-ups as the week fills in • Say "good morning" to dismiss — recognized on your device BUILT TO ACTUALLY RING • Sounds from the lock screen even if the app is closed or force-quit • Repeating alarms keep repeating — set it once • Audio is prepared in advance, so a dropped connection doesn't cost you your morning PRIVACY • No account and no sign-up — your alarms, goals and streaks stay on your phone • Speech recognition runs on-device; microphone audio is never recorded or uploaded • To write and speak your wake-up, your goal text and script are sent to our AI and voice providers • Full policy: startsmartmobile.com/privacy For anyone who has ever set five alarms and slept through all five. --- SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION: • A subscription is required to use StartSmart • Pro Weekly: $6.99/week • Pro Yearly: $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial (about $0.77/week) The 7-day free trial is available on the yearly plan only.

Set it once and it keeps its schedule — including across daylight saving. • Your personalized wake-up now plays from the lock screen, with the app closed or even force-quit. • Four new voices, bringing it to ten: Sassy Sophie, British Boss, Coach Carter and Aussie Mate. • Voice previews are instant and work offline — hear all ten before you choose. • Fixed: the Alarms tab could ask for permission you'd already granted, every time you opened it. • A rebuilt paywall, and a redesign across the app — one accent colour, a lot less noise. ### 1.0.6 — 2025-12-04 -Bug fixes ### 1.0.5 — 2025-12-01 -Bug fixes ### 1.0.4 — 2025-11-25 -Bug fixes ### 1.03 — 2025-11-18 -Bug fixes ## Apps similar to StartSmart | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [PDF Document Scanner - Captize](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pdf-document-scanner-captize/id1488667597) | 4.7 (103) | Free | Productivity | | [TripleWhale](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/triplewhale/id1511861727) | 2.7 (29) | Free | Productivity | | [Omi - Smart Meeting Notes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/omi-smart-meeting-notes/id6502156163) | 3.9 (159) | Free | Productivity | | [YapThread: AI Voice Notes](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yapthread-ai-voice-notes/id6736373807) | 4.5 (28) | Free | Productivity | | [Locked In - Motivation & Alarm](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/locked-in-motivation-and-alarm/id6737245439) | 4.1 (12) | Free | Productivity | | [Dewy - AI Voice Alarms](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dewy-ai-voice-alarms/id6741082474) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Productivity | ## More apps by Koviez LLC - [Jittr: Cut Out Caffeine](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jittr-cut-out-caffeine/id6759697459) - [Breathly: Breathing & Calm](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/breathly-breathing-and-calm/id6761031576) All apps by Koviez LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1833295956 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
