Dawn turns your iPhone into a beautiful bedside clock — a calm space for focus, sleep, and the moments in between. WHY DAWN While other clock apps just tell time, Dawn helps you spend it well. Whether you're starting a 25-minute Pomodoro, winding down for the night, or charging on your nightstand, Dawn brings six handcrafted clock faces, a focused-timer, and gentle sleep tracking into one calm, ad-light experience. KEY FEATURES — Six Clock Faces Choose from Sunrise (default warm gradient), Minimal, Pixel, Nebula, Bloom, and Classic. Tap to switch instantly. Every face is hand-tuned for that quick "I want to look at it" feeling. — Bedside Clock Mode One tap puts your iPhone in full-screen Bedside mode. Soft glow, anti–burn-in drift, perfect when plugged in on your nightstand. The room gets a beautiful clock; you get a phone you don't pick up at midnight. — Pomodoro Timer With Streaks Standard 25-minute or any custom duration (1–180 min). Add a task name, watch the ring fill, and finish to a clean checkmark. Track daily counts and your current streak — a gentle nudge without guilt. — Sleep With a Bedtime Ring Set your bedtime and wake time on a single circular ring. Tap "Start Sleep" to dim the screen into a calm, dark clock. Wake up to a gradient sunrise button. See your last 7 days as a quiet bar chart. — Real Alarms, With Honest Limits Multiple alarms, weekday repeat, snooze, fade-in, and seven sound presets including Radar, Chimes, and Crystals (iOS system sounds — Apple's originals aren't available to third-party apps). We tell you up front: iOS may suppress third-party alarms in Silent or Focus mode. Keep the ringer on. — World Clock With 80+ Cities Pin Beijing, London, Tokyo, or any of 80+ cities. Tap the main display to pick which city is your "home." Drag the A–Z index to jump anywhere in the list (with Contacts-style haptics). — Stopwatch & Timer A full-screen rounded-monospace stopwatch (lap support), and a timer with custom Pomodoro-style presets you build yourself. Long-press to delete; tap "+" to add. — Widgets Lock-screen widgets (circular, rectangular, inline) and Home-screen widgets (Small / Medium / Large). Add your favorite clock face to your wallpaper. — Eight Languages English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Português — all hand-tuned, not machine-translated.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AtCoder Alarm at none against Dawn's shown. AtCoder Alarm also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
