About

Quiet Wake

Features
Read full description

Quiet Wake is a gentle alarm clock built for people who don't want to be jolted awake. Instead of a piercing beep, your alarm starts near-silent and rises slowly to full volume over a window you choose โ€” using real, calming music instead of a generic chime. Pick from 20 original wake tracks, or record a short greeting in your own voice to hear right as the fade-in finishes. RELIABLE BY DESIGN Quiet Wake never fails silently. Every alarm is scheduled directly with iOS the moment you set it, so it still rings even if the app was force-quit or your phone was restarted โ€” no background app refresh, no battery-draining polling required. DESIGNED TO BE WOKEN UP TO, NOT STARTLED BY โ€ข Fade-in duration you control, from 1 to 15 minutes โ€ข 20 original wake-up tracks, with instant preview before you choose โ€ข A deliberate hold-to-dismiss gesture, so a half-asleep tap can't accidentally turn off your alarm โ€ข Snooze that keeps gently ringing until you actually wake up โ€ข A Home Screen widget showing your next alarm, with a one-tap way to turn it off โ€ข Four calming color themes โ€ข An optional spoken "good morning" after your alarm fades in โ€” synthesized, or recorded in your own voice NO ACCOUNTS. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Quiet Wake makes no network requests of any kind. There's nothing to sign up for, no analytics, no ads, and nothing about you or how you use the app is ever collected. Everything โ€” your alarms, your settings, any custom greeting you record โ€” stays on your device. FROM THE MAKERS OF QUIET MOMENTS Quiet Wake is built by the same team behind Quiet Moments, using the same original music and the same promise: an app that respects your privacy and your peace of mind. PRICING Quiet Wake is free to use with one alarm. Every new install also gets 3 days of unlimited alarms automatically โ€” no payment method required. After that, unlock unlimited alarms for good with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
