Alarm vs WakeGlass

Wake up to an alarm that tells you why it is ringing. Noler is a lightweight talking alarm clock for mornings, daily routines and reminders. Give your voice alarm a label such as "Time for work" or "Leave for the airport" and hear it read aloud using on-device speech. Set a one-time alarm or repeat it on selected days of the week. See your next scheduled alarm at a glance and use large snooze and dismiss controls when you are still sleepy. An alarm sound is the fallback if speech cannot be used. Normal alarm use is fully offline: scheduling, labels, speech and alarm records need no Wi-Fi or mobile data. Alarms, settings and attachments stay on your device. No ads, analytics, behavioral tracking, account, cloud sync, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Battery saving starts with less to do. Noler has no weather or horoscope feeds, advertising, analytics, cloud syncing or other background online feeds. Omitting those services avoids their network and processing workload. Actual battery use depends on your device, settings and alarm use; no fixed saving is promised. Built with Rust for a shared application core and interface. Choose from 39 interface locales. There is no sleep tracking, snore recording or news feed behind your morning alarm. Live pages in Settings, such as Terms and Privacy, use an internet connection only when you choose to open them.

WakeGlass is a calm, private alarm clock with timers, focus, breathing, workouts and sleep sounds in one app. No account, no ads, no tracking — everything you create stays on your iPhone. ALARMS THAT RING Built on Apple's AlarmKit, so your alarms and timers ring through Silent mode and Focus, with a full-screen alert on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. One-time or weekly alarms, a snooze length per alarm, quick-add times, skip next and duplicate. A ring log shows when each alarm rang. DAYS OFF, WITH PRO Vacation mode, public holidays and your own days off. Repeating alarms rest on those days and ring again afterwards; one-time alarms always ring, and any alarm can be set to ring on days off too. Holidays for 15 countries — Germany by state, the UK by nation — worked out on your iPhone, not downloaded. WAKE UP YOUR WAY 16 alarm tones in a Bright and a Deep pack, from kalimba and birdsong to temple gong and clock tower, three of them free — tap any tone to hear it first. Pro adds Halloween, Christmas and New Year packs, your own sounds, a tone that starts quiet and rises gently, and screen brightening and a flashlight pulse while the app is open and your iPhone is unlocked. SLEEP SOUNDS Nine soundscapes — white, pink and brown noise, rain, ocean, wind, fan, campfire and stream — generated on your iPhone, not streamed. White noise and rain are free, and every other sound plays a short preview. They keep playing with the screen off, with a sleep timer that fades out gently and controls on the Lock Screen. BEDTIME The best times to go to bed or wake up, worked out from sleep cycles. A daily wind-down reminder, a dim nightstand clock, and the Sleep runway widget for your Lock Screen: how long until your alarm and how many sleep cycles still fit. FOCUS, BREATHE & WORKOUTS A Pomodoro-style Focus timer with breaks, cycles and phase chimes that sound with the phone locked. Breathe, beside Focus: a glowing circle sets the pace. The Calm rhythm is free; 4-7-8 and Box come with Pro. Interval workouts (Tabata, HIIT, EMOM or your own) with transition tones, countdown timers and a stopwatch with laps. MAKE IT YOURS Glow, a bright theme that follows your iPhone's light or dark setting, is free for everyone, and so is Midnight. Pro opens ten more Special themes — Crystal over a wallpaper or your own photo, Lumen, Deep Space with the Milky Way, Galaxy Blue, Opal, Riso, Phosphor, Bitter Lemon and more — plus nine more classic gradients, solid colors and your own hue. Halloween, Christmas and New Year themes are free during their dates. Not sure? Try any locked theme on your own screens for 30 seconds. Seven app icons, all made in Liquid Glass: Glow, Sunrise and Classic are free. AND MORE • World clock with 112 cities • Wake statistics with Pro, kept on your iPhone — opt in, wipe them anytime • Your data is yours: export and import everything as a file • Help that works offline • Available in 23 languages, British English included PRIVACY, FOR REAL No accounts, no ads, no analytics. The only outside service WakeGlass uses is Apple's App Store, for the optional Pro purchase. Alarms, timers, focus and sleep sounds work completely offline. WAKEGLASS PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Unlocks every theme, Special and Seasonal, all year, plus custom and solid colors, all sleep sounds, 25 more alarm tones in five packs, your own tones, gradual volume, wake aids, days off, four more app icons, statistics, saved workout and focus setups, and the 4-7-8 and Box breathing patterns.
