Ever set an alarm at 2 AM and found yourself doing the mental math to figure out exactly how many hours of sleep you have left? Ringy Alarm fixes that. Built by an independent mobile developer who missed this exact feature, Ringy Alarm is a lightweight, full-featured alarm app designed around one critical addition: a live countdown widget right on your lock screen and home screen. At a single glance, you’ll see the exact hours and minutes remaining before your alarm goes off. No math, no guessing, just peace of mind. Features: • Live countdown widgets: Keep track of your remaining sleep time directly from your lock screen or home screen. • Privacy-first design: The app is entirely frontend-driven. It requires no internet connection, uses zero trackers, collects no data, and serves no ads. Your data never leaves your device. • Multilingual support: Ringy Alarm automatically detects your device's default language for a seamless setup, but gives you the full freedom to switch it manually in the options menu. • Custom audio tracks: Wake up to custom alarm sounds generated using Suno AI music technology. • High test coverage: Built with clean code standards and backed by a 96% test coverage to ensure reliability when you need it most. Ringy Alarm is completely free to use with no annoying subscription pop-ups or hidden paywalls. A 'Buy Me a Coffee' option is available inside if you’d like to support an indie developer covering Apple fees and assets, but there is absolutely no obligation. Download Ringy Alarm today and get a better view of your time.
