Luma helps you plan your workday backwards from when you need to arrive. Know when to wake up, when to leave, and how your punctuality is improving. Save how long you normally need to get ready and your longest normal commute. Then create an alarm by choosing your work arrival time and repeat days. Luma calculates wake and departure times for you to confirm. Add different alarms for different workdays, whether you work regular hours or changing shifts. WAKE WITH A PLAN - Keep saved alarms together in the Alarms tab, with familiar repeat-day and on/off controls. - See your next wake, leave and work times on Today. - Add an optional ten-minute buffer when you create an alarm. - Choose your sound, planned snooze and optional Heavy Sleeper extra wake check. - Try the optional alarm test before relying on your setup for work. LEAVE WITH TIME TO SPARE - Follow a live countdown through your morning. - Tick off your preparation checklist. - Record when you are out the door. - Get a prompt to check whether you arrived on time. SEE YOUR PROGRESS - Record on-time, late or uncertain arrivals. - Review your on-time rate, streak, early or late minutes and recent trend. - See individual workday history in Stats. - Keep unanswered check-ins out of your success rate. MAKE CAREFUL IMPROVEMENTS After a late arrival, Luma asks what happened and can suggest a small adjustment for the same weekday and start time. Changes require your approval. One late day never silently changes every alarm, and adaptive suggestions only move wake or departure earlier. Reducing preparation time, commute time or a buffer remains your choice. Luma's current features are free to use. Existing subscribers can manage or cancel their Apple subscription in Settings. Deleting the app does not cancel an Apple subscription. Your schedule and punctuality history stay on your device. Luma has no user account, traffic feed, weather feed or location tracking. An anonymous app identifier, limited app/device/store metadata, Apple AdServices attribution token and any existing subscription history may be sent to RevenueCat for subscription analytics and Apple Ads measurement as described in our privacy policy. Luma requires iOS 26 or later and uses AlarmKit. Keep alarm permission and power available, test your setup after changing device or alarm settings, and maintain a backup alarm whenever missing work could cause harm. Keep Luma visible and do not protect it with Require Face ID, because iOS can prevent alarms for hidden or locked apps. Luma helps you plan; it cannot guarantee waking or arriving on time.
