NapTune

Close your eyes without worrying about oversleeping. NapTune wakes you with a real system alarm, not a notification you can sleep through, so a 20-minute power nap stays a 20-minute power nap. Drift off to your own mix of rain, ocean or space sounds, let the coach find your best nap time, and watch your planet grow with every nap. A REAL ALARM, NOT A NOTIFICATION - Rings over your Lock Screen like a proper alarm - Five tones from gentle to insistent (Sunrise, Chime, Zen, Radar and Pulse), each fading in over three seconds - Live countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, even if you close the app - No snooze button, on purpose: a nap is meant to end ANY NAP, UP TO 90 MINUTES - Dial in your nap length on a tactile ruler - Power Nap or Coffee Nap: pick your mode and see each one tracked separately - Slide to wake whenever you're ready SLEEP SOUNDS YOU MIX YOURSELF - Five seamless loops: Space, Rain, Ocean, Forest and Fire - A separate volume slider for every sound - Plays alongside your own music or podcast and keeps going with the screen locked - Resumes by itself after a call or Siri PRIVATE AI COACH (BETA) - A quick setup quiz finds your chronotype and suggests a nap time and length made for you - Daily suggestions weigh your body clock, free slots in your calendar and how your past naps felt - Shows exactly which data it used and which it didn't - Tells you honestly when it's too late to nap today, or when rest would serve you better - Short tips and science notes appear only when they're relevant - Runs entirely on your device: no cloud, no network A PLANET THAT GROWS WITH YOU - Every nap shapes a planet that's yours alone - It grows with your nap minutes, earns rings at 3, 10 and 30-day streaks, gains a moon every five naps and starts to glow when your nap rhythm is steady - Its colors slowly follow your habits, so no two planets look alike - No XP, no levels, no nagging. Reroll its name until it feels right and share it as a card STATS THAT MAKE SENSE - Week, month and year charts, filtered by nap mode - Rate each nap with 1 to 5 stars and how you woke up: Groggy, Just right or Still tired - Your ratings teach the coach what works for you WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH AND CALENDAR (OPTIONAL) - Reads your night sleep to personalize suggestions and saves your naps to Apple Health - Reads only the busy times in your calendar and never changes your events FREE, PRIVATE, NO STRINGS - Every feature is free: no ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases - No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking - Your naps stay on your device. Our privacy label says it plainly: Data Not Collected Made for iPhone and iPad, in English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Bahasa Indonesia, हिन्दी and Türkçe. Switch languages instantly inside the app. For everyone who naps on purpose: students between lectures, professionals after lunch, creatives mid-project, parents grabbing a quiet moment, drivers at a rest stop and athletes between sessions. NapTune is a wellness tool, not a medical device. If you often struggle to sleep, please talk to a doctor.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NapTune at none against Polar Flow's 1. Polar Flow's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
