About

Rousel

Features

Rousel wakes you by name. Save your name once and your alarm greets you with it — "Bhasker, wake up!" — in a voice you choose. If you've set up Personal Voice on your iPhone, it can even be your own. RINGS WHEN IT MATTERS Rousel is built on iOS 26's alarm system, so alarms sound through the silent switch and through Focus and Do Not Disturb. Most alarm apps can't do this. That's the difference between an alarm and a notification you'll sleep through. ANY TIME OF DAY A 7am alarm and a twenty-minute nap before a call are the same thing here. Tap a preset — 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 minutes — and you're counting down. No arithmetic, no scrolling to find a time. SOUNDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY YOURS • Your own voice — record it, keep it, wake to it • Music you own, imported from Files • Original built-in tones, generated on your device GREETINGS IN ENGLISH AND हिन्दी Pick a phrase or write your own. Names that get mispronounced can be respelled the way they sound, so "Bhasker" stops coming out as "Basker". BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Live countdowns on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. On iPad, a proper two-column layout rather than a stretched phone screen. WORLD CLOCK See the time where the people you work with are, alongside your own. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No analytics. No servers. Your name, your recordings and your alarms never leave your device, because there is nowhere for them to go. Free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Requires iOS 26 or later.
