If you’re tired of your classic alarm clock that plays three different songs every two minutes, you can always turn to more original alternatives that may better meet your expectations. Here is our selection of alarm clock applications to know on Android and iPhone.
It’s a must-have on every smartphone: an alarm system is natively installed, and is often found in the Clock application. This function provides everything that is most classic to wake you up from your sleep… sometimes with difficulty. Fortunately, a plethora of alarm clock applications are available in stores: here is a selection.
AMdroid AlarmClock, the simple and complete alarm clock application
The AMdroid AlarmClock application is one of the classics. This application does not revolutionize the genre, but is both complete and easy to use. You can download or add holidays when no alarms will sound, track your sleep duration and add and manage multiple profiles. A light, dark and night mode are even available.
Alarmy, to force you to wake up
You should know that Alarmy is not an alarm clock application like the others. Very popular on the stores, this application forces you to carry out certain tasks when your alarm starts to ring. You will have to complete the requested task at all costs, like a small mathematical problem, to stop the ringing. Note also an easy-to-use interface to refine the user experience. You can read our getting started to learn more about this service.
Alarm clock (Timy Alarm Clock), for a cute alarm clock
With Réveil (Timy Alarm Clock) you will be dealing with a fairly fun application. Choose your avatar (rocket, crocodile, shark, chick, fox, rabbit), set a difficulty (easy, intermediate, hard), days and sound volume. When the alarm sounds, a small game must be solved to turn off the alarm clock. For the rocket avatar, for example, you have to land the spacecraft gently so that it doesn’t crash. Contains some advertisements.
Sleep Cycle, to wake up during a light cycle
The Sleep Cycle app prides itself on being able to wake you up at the most opportune time, namely during a light sleep phase. To do this, the app accesses your phone’s microphone to analyze your movements (ignores snoring and fan noise) and wake you up 10, 25, 20, 30 or 45 minutes before the ringtone. Soothing sounds are available to help you fall asleep. Nice interface, some features require payment.
Mornify, to wake up to your favorite music
What’s better than emerging with your favorite music in your ears? This is exactly what Mornify offers, which gives you access to a large library of songs that you can then configure with this or that alarm clock. Moods, Moods, Top songs, Top albums and Top artists categories help you choose. A search tab is even available to narrow down your choice.
Early Bird Alarm Clock, the practical alarm clock
Finally, Early Bird Alarm Clock is appreciated for its multiple advantages: the application is very complete and can be configured with colorful themes that will match your tastes. Above all, when the alarm rings, the interface displays the weather, temperature, time and your agenda for the day. The time is even indicated out loud.
Talking Alarm Clock Plus, music, radio or audio file, everything is good to wake you up
Talking Alarm Clock Plus is a free Android app that gives you the freedom to customize your alarm clock however you want. Whether you are a music lover who wants to wake up gently to the sound of your favorite melody, or you prefer the dynamism of a radio station, all the options are at your disposal. You can configure a classic ringtone, a music selection, a playlist, an online radio station, or even a personalized audio file, such as a custom spoken message.
Sleepwave, for a gentle awakening
Sleepwave is a smart alarm clock that goes further by also offering sleep tracking and relaxation before bed features. This application for Android and iOS covers all phases of sleep, from falling asleep to waking up. To put you to sleep, a wavescape displays relaxing ripples while your sleep is analyzed based on your movements during the night. And when you wake up, soft sounds gradually wake you up from your sleep, avoiding harsh and loud ringtones. Sleepwave is a valuable ally for all those who understand that sleep is an essential daily element that should not be neglected.
Loud Alarm Clock, for loud and powerful ringtones
For those who, on the contrary, have difficulty emerging in the morning, Loud Alarm Clock is more recommended. No more gentle awakenings! With this application for Android and iOS, you are sure not to miss your subway or the first meeting of the day, thanks to loud and powerful ringtones, accompanied by funny voices of famous characters to encourage you to get up. Among the features of Loud Alarm Clock, we find tools to personalize your ringtone, display the weather in your area or even the possibility of changing your ringtone every day so you don’t get used to it.
AlarmMon, a mini-game to deactivate the alarm
AlarmMon will also try to wake you up with increasingly loud ringtones, but the particularity of this application is that you will have to complete a mini-game to deactivate the alarm. Until you wake up to activate your brain and play the game, the ringtone will continue to ring, louder and louder. The user can choose the ringtone and the mini-game, display the local weather or even benefit from a “mini-alarm” for your medication reminders for example.
