Talking Alarm Clock vs FlashWake

Most alarms just make noise. This one tells you what time it is. Never squint at a screen at 3 a.m. again. When your alarm rings, it says the time out loud — in 10 languages, and with no internet connection needed. Most alarms just make noise. This one tells you what time it is. When your alarm rings, a clear, natural-sounding voice announces the current hour and minute out loud — so you know whether to get up or roll over, without reaching for your phone or squinting at a bright screen in the dark. Perfect for waking in the middle of the night, for mornings before you have found your glasses, and for anyone who would simply rather hear the time than look at it. SPEAKS 10 LANGUAGES Choose the voice language for each alarm you create: • English • Turkish (Türkçe) • German (Deutsch) • French (Français) • Japanese (日本語) • Korean (한국어) • Dutch (Nederlands) • Polish (Polski) • Portuguese — Brazil (Português) • Chinese — Simplified (中文) The app itself is fully translated into all ten, so the buttons match the voice. MADE TO BE HEARD, NOT READ A talking clock is not a novelty. If you are blind or have low vision, or you find small screens hard to read, hearing the time is simply faster and easier than looking for it — especially half-awake, in the dark, without your glasses. EVERYTHING YOU NEED FROM A CLOCK • Alarms — set a time, repeat it on any days of the week, give it a name and an icon • Timers — quick countdowns for cooking, workouts, laundry and naps • Custom alarms — combine a countdown, a schedule and a snooze into one • Live Activity and Dynamic Island — watch the countdown right on your Lock Screen, without opening the app • Snooze, for when you need five more minutes SIMPLE, QUIET, YOURS No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. Every voice recording is stored on your device, so the time is announced perfectly even in airplane mode, in a basement, or on a plane. GOOD TO KNOW The time is announced in five-minute steps, so an alarm set for 7:32 announces 7:30. Requires iOS 26 or later.

Locking your device or switching apps interrupts them. • FlashWake cannot unlock your device or automatically light up the locked screen. For a sound alarm while locked, turn on sound and allow system alarm access. • Sound is off by default. New alarms are set to reach full brightness, with the flashlight enabled on supported devices. Preview the light and adjust these settings to suit you. • Responses to light vary by person and surroundings. FlashWake is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat sleep conditions. • Requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later. Holiday skipping uses the 2026–2027 calendars included in the app. Tomorrow morning, start with your kind of light.
