NaturalTimes is an alarm clock for people whose day is set by the sea and the sky, not by the office. Instead of picking a time, you pick a moment in nature: the next high tide, low tide, sunrise, sunset, or a moon phase. NaturalTimes works out when that happens where you are, and wakes you then. WAKE WITH NATURE • High, low and mid tide • Sunrise and sunset • Moon phases - full, new, first and third quarter • Combinations - combine events into one alarm • Offset any alarm: 30 minutes before low tide, an hour after sunrise, whatever fits BUILT FOR THE WATER Surfers catching the push on a dropping tide. Divers timing slack water. Anglers working the turn. Photographers chasing golden hour and a full moon over the water. ONLY WHEN IT SUITS YOU • Daylight only - skip alarms that fall in the dark • Working hours - never ring during the hours you've set aside • Choose the days of the week each alarm is allowed to ring ANY COAST Search for a place by name or use your current location. Tide predictions come from harmonic models, so they work far beyond the big-name spots. PRIVACY Sun and moon times are worked out on your device. Your location is used to compute tides and nothing else - no tracking, no ad networks, no selling your data. PREMIUM - $4.99/year • Unlimited locations • Unlimited alarms, all active at once • Custom alarm sounds Free includes 15 locations a month and 3 alarms Auto-renewing yearly subscription; cancel anytime in the App Store.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BeaconSET Plus at none against NaturalTimes's 1. BeaconSET Plus also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). NaturalTimes's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
