The simplest way to secure sleep time. Your sleep time starts with when you go to bed. MRALA is an iPhone alarm app that starts with your wake-up time and sleep goal, then shows exactly when you should go to bed tonight. It turns the night into a clear sequence: 30 minutes before bed, 10 minutes before bed, bedtime, and wake-up. On the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, your countdown to sleep stays visible in a compact, glanceable view. You do not need to open the app to understand how much of the day is left before sleep. When plans change, the flow stays simple. Use Sleep Early or Wake Early to adjust tonight without rebuilding the whole schedule. Key features - Bedtime calculated from wake-up time and sleep goal - 30-minute, 10-minute, bedtime, and wake-up alarms - Sleep countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Live Activity from before bedtime through sleep - Sleep Early and Wake Early actions for tonight - Step-count context when permission is granted MRALA focuses on one useful question.
