Mellowake vs ProgressTimer

Know when to turn in. Keep the time close. Wake up with Mellowake. Set your wake-up time and how long you want to sleep. Mellowake works out your bedtime and keeps it in view with a calm countdown, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and an optional gentle bedtime reminder. A CLOCK FOR YOUR BEDSIDE Open a clear, easy-to-read clock with your bedtime, wake-up time and next alarm. Choose a dimmer display or keep the screen awake while the clock is open in the foreground. The layout adapts to portrait, landscape and the folded or open displays of iPhone Duo. A WAKE-UP ALARM, WHEN YOU WANT ONE On iOS 26 or later, enable a daily alarm at your chosen wake-up time. Choose your alarm sound and use a 9-minute snooze. Alarm permission is required. Wake-up alarms and gentle bedtime reminders have separate switches. A QUIETER WAY TO END THE DAY No scores, streaks or sleep tracking. No account to create. Your schedule stays on your device, and the core experience works offline. Mellowake supports English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German and Brazilian Portuguese. The bedside clock is an in-app display. Keeping it awake applies only while Mellowake is in the foreground. Sleep duration is your plan, not a measurement. Bedtime Live Activities start when you open Mellowake during the bedtime window. A SOUND FOR YOUR MORNING Choose from 24 sounds: 4 are free, and 20 are available in Morning Collection with a one-time in-app purchase. The system default remains free. Preview every sound before buying and restore purchases with the same App Store account. No subscription. Sounds play from your device; purchasing and restoring require an internet connection.

Time, shown as a single bar. ProgressTimer is a minimal landscape timer that turns elapsed time into a full-screen progress bar. For pomodoro sessions, workouts, cooking, presentation rehearsals — anywhere you want to see time at a glance, even from across the room. ◆ Two modes Count Down Set a duration and watch the bar fill from empty to full as time elapses. Count Up Start from zero and let the bar grow toward your target duration. Both modes auto-stop when the target is reached and play your selected alarm tone. ◆ Landscape × giant progress bar Numbers are secondary — progress is the point. A monochrome bar fills the entire screen so you can read your status from a distance. The time is rendered in a large monospaced number at the center, optimized for legibility against the moving bar. ◆ Lock Screen & Dynamic Island Full Live Activity support. The progress bar and remaining time appear on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Play, pause, and restart the timer without ever opening the app. ◆ Keeps running in the background Closing the app or locking your screen doesn't stop the timer. When time's up, a local notification fires with your chosen alarm tone — Beep, Chime, Bell, or Digital. Use the system volume or set an in-app volume independently. ◆ Icon-first interface No text labels — every control is an icon. From mode selection to duration setup to start, you can begin a session in three taps.
