Wake up on your terms with AlarmTune -- the alarm clock with independent volume control for every alarm, plus reliable alarm delivery even in silent mode. Most alarm apps tie your alarm volume to your system ringer volume. If you turned down your music before bed, your morning alarm might not wake you up. AlarmTune solves this with independent volume per alarm and a three-layer reliability system that works when it matters most. KEY FEATURES Independent Volume Control Set a unique volume level for each alarm. Your 6 AM wake-up can blast at maximum while your noon reminder plays at a whisper. Three-Layer Silent Mode Reliability Alarms fire reliably even when your phone is on silent mode or the screen is locked: 1. Background Audio Keeper -- pre-schedules audio for background playback 2. System Volume Boost -- raises system volume when alarm fires, restores on stop 3. Critical Notification Fallback -- plays even if app is force-quit Force-Quit Protection Your chosen alarm sound and volume are pre-rendered on-device. If the app is force-quit or killed in background, the notification still plays your exact sound at your chosen volume -- not a generic system tone. Background Alarm Guard Toggle in Settings to keep alarms protected in the background. Reliability indicators show whether each alarm will ring in silent mode. Volume Presets Five presets: Whisper, Gentle, Moderate, Loud, Maximum. One-tap selection or fine-tune with the slider. Gradual Fade-In Increases alarm volume from a safe minimum to your chosen level over 1-30 seconds. Wake up naturally. Video Backgrounds 8 cinematic videos across 4 categories (Storm, Nature, City, Cozy). Each plays with its own audio. Import custom videos from Photos or Files with format hints and smart error alerts. Video alarms now work reliably even when the app is force-quit. Apple Music Integration Pick any song from your Apple Music library as your alarm sound. Custom Sound Import Import your own audio files from the Files app. Supports MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF, and CAF. Supported formats are shown in the import screen. If import fails, you get a specific error message. Premium unlocks unlimited imports. AI Sound Generation Create unique alarm sounds with 4 AI styles. Premium unlocks unlimited generation. Sound Shuffle Auto-rotate alarm sounds daily or weekly. No more alarm fatigue. 30+ Alarm Sounds Built-in sounds across 5 categories: Loud, Nature, Gentle, Classic, Fun. Flexible Scheduling One-time or repeating alarms. One-time alarms auto-disable after firing. Snooze Control Custom snooze duration. Snoozed alarms reschedule with background reliability. Alarm Categories Organize by Work, Weekend, Important, Nap, Medication with icons and colors. Audio Fallback Protection If your sound is unavailable, falls back to a default so you never miss an alarm. Vibration Option Enable vibration on any alarm for tactile wake-up. Vibrate works even with sound off for discreet alerts. Accessibility Full VoiceOver support with clearly labeled controls and Dynamic Type for adjustable text sizes. Notification Permission Requests permission on first alarm and guides you to Settings if denied. WHO IS ALARMTUNE FOR? - Heavy sleepers who need the loudest alarm that cannot be muted - Light sleepers who want a gentle, progressive wake-up - Shift workers who need different volumes at different times NO DATA COLLECTION We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
