Allama vs RiseCue

Allama is a modern alarm clock for iPhone, built on Apple's AlarmKit so your alarms ring reliably at the system level — even through Silent Mode and Focus. But a good alarm clock should do more than ring. Allama is built around the messy reality of real schedules: the trips, the lie-ins, the time zones, the weeks you'd rather not be woken at all. SKIP TOMORROW, KEEP THE ROUTINE One late night shouldn't mean deleting your 6 AM alarm and forgetting to set it again. Skip just the next occurrence of any repeating alarm — the rest of the week carries on untouched. VACATION MODE Pause your alarms for a date range in a few taps. Allama silences everything while you're away and automatically schedules a return alarm for your first morning back, so you land on your feet. ALARMS IN ANY TIME ZONE Set an alarm in the time zone that matters — your destination, a colleague's city, home. Allama handles the conversion so you never do the mental math at 2 AM. MAKE THEM YOURS Give every alarm a name, an emoji, and its own color. Choose from 25 built-in ringtones, each previewable before you commit. Pick a snooze interval that suits you, or turn snooze off entirely. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS See your next alarm at a glance, plus clock and world clock widgets in small and medium sizes. SIRI & SHORTCUTS "Hey Siri, what's my next alarm?" Create alarms, skip the next one, or start vacation mode hands-free — and drop Allama into your own Shortcuts automations. LIVE ACTIVITY When an alarm is counting down or ringing, it's right there on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Stop or snooze without unlocking. DESIGNED FOR iOS Native SwiftUI throughout. Six accent themes, light and dark mode, and a layout that feels like it came with the phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Allama has no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. Your alarms are stored on your device — nothing is uploaded anywhere. ALLAMA PRO Every new install starts with a 28-day free trial of everything, no payment details required. After that, the core alarm clock stays free — unlimited-alarm support and the extras move to Pro, a single one-time purchase with no subscription: • Unlimited alarms (free tier includes 5) • Vacation Mode • Home screen and world clock widgets • All six themes • Siri and Shortcuts support Alarms you created during the trial keep working and stay editable after it ends — nothing is switched off behind you. Requires iOS 26.1 or later.
