About

Hemera

Read full description

Hemera is the alarm whose only job is to get you out of bed. When it rings, it keeps ringing until you finish a mission: solve a few math problems, shake your phone, type a sentence, or repeat a pattern of tiles. Made for heavy sleepers and serial snoozers. Missions, photos and alarms stay on your phone. Anonymous usage statistics help improve the app and can be turned off in Settings. Free, forever: Math, Shake, Type and Memory missions, unlimited alarms, snooze. No ads, no account, no onboarding survey. Hemera Pro adds five more missions: Photo Match (photograph the same spot you shot last night), Steps, QR/barcode, Find (photograph a random household object) and Say (read a sentence out loud, recognized on-device). Plus streak and morning insights, custom alarm sounds, and the snooze penalty that makes every snooze harder. Built on iOS 26 AlarmKit, so alarms ring through Silent mode and Focus, and you don't have to leave the app open overnight for them to work. Your next alarm is one glance away: a widget for the Lock Screen and Home Screen shows its day, time and mission. Start a new alarm from Control Center, or ask Siri when your next alarm is. The app is available in English and Turkish. Hemera Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel yours in your App Store account settings.
