aka Alarm

A gentler alarm. Pick a 30-minute window; the app listens for when you start stirring and wakes you with a soft fade-in instead of jolting you out of bed at a fixed time.

How it works

Choose your wake-up window. The app builds a rolling baseline of your room's ambient sound. When the window opens, the first time the sound level rises meaningfully above that baseline — you turn over, sigh, shift the duvet — the alarm fires. If nothing happens, it fires at the end of the window so you never oversleep.

The alarm tone fades from 1 % to 100 % over a minute. Snooze by lightly moving the phone — no fumbling for a button. Slide up anywhere to dismiss.
