What it does for you

A standard alarm asks you to be disciplined at the exact moment you are least capable of it. Smart Alarm Clock takes a different route: before the sound stops, it asks you to solve a maths problem or repeat a colour pattern — a small task that takes just enough attention to leave you actually awake rather than reaching for snooze on autopilot.

Around that it is a full bedside app: several alarms for different parts of the day, your own melodies, a sleep mode that fades music out on a timer, a countdown timer, a talking clock and a one-tap flashlight.

About this app

Forget about a bunch of non-working alarm clocks with meaningless functionality! Our application will help you: always arrive at work earlier in the morning, make it to important meetings in the afternoon, and set the time for cooking your favorite dishes in the evening.

Use your favorite ringtones and melodies Wake up to beautiful music and sounds. Make your awakening enjoyable!

When people use it

  • Waking up properly on work mornings

    Set the alarm to require a maths problem or memory pattern before it switches off, and choose the difficulty that suits how deeply you sleep.

  • Falling asleep to music

    Sleep mode plays melodies and fades them out automatically once its timer runs down, so nothing plays all night.

  • Alarms for the rest of the day

    Add separate alarms for meetings, medication or the moment a dish needs to come out of the oven, each with its own sound and label.

  • A bedside clock

    Leave the app in clock mode overnight; the talking clock reads the time aloud, and the flashlight is one tap away.

How it works

  1. Set an alarm

    Choose the time, the days it repeats and the melody you want to wake up to.

  2. Pick how it switches off

    Select a plain stop, a maths problem or a colour or pattern memory game, and set the difficulty.

  3. Allow notifications

    The app needs notifications enabled and needs to keep running in the background so the alarm can appear on time.

  4. Add sleep mode or a timer

    Start sleep mode for a fade-out melody at bedtime, or use the countdown timer for anything that needs a signal after a set period.

Good to know

  • The app must be allowed to run in the background and to send notifications for alarms to appear.
  • Weather in the app requires location access; without it, the forecast simply is not shown.
  • Dial customisation, extra ways to turn off the alarm, the unlimited sleep timer and the talking clock are part of the paid subscription.

Questions about Smart Alarm Clock

Will the alarm work if the app is closed?

The app needs to be running in the background so that the alarm you set can be shown at the right time, and notifications must be allowed. Both are one-time settings on your iPhone.

Can I wake up to my own music?

Yes — you can use your own ringtones and melodies rather than the built-in sounds, and set a different one for each alarm.

What are the maths and memory tasks for?

They are optional ways to switch the alarm off. Instead of a single tap, you solve a simple equation or repeat a colour or pattern sequence, which takes enough attention to leave you awake. You choose the difficulty.

Which features need a subscription?

Dial customisation, the additional turn-off methods, the unlimited sleep timer, the talking clock and ad-free use are part of the premium subscription. A free trial is offered before it starts, and it is managed in your Apple Account settings.
