Sleep & time
Sleep & Time Apps for iPhone
Smart alarm clock, stopwatch and timers, sleep sounds
Three apps around the clock: an alarm that makes sure you actually get up, a stopwatch with parallel countdowns and interval timers for the day, and sleep sounds you can mix for the night.
-
Smart Alarm Clock
Utilities
An alarm you switch off by solving something — plus sleep mode, timer and talking clock.
-
Stopwatch & Countdown Timer
Utilities
A precise stopwatch with laps, parallel countdowns and interval training modes.
-
Relax Melodies & Sleep Sounds.
Music
Mix rain, white noise and calm melodies, and set them to fade on a timer.
How to choose
Three different jobs
Falling asleep, waking up and timing the day are separate problems. Relax Melodies handles the first, Smart Alarm Clock the second, Stopwatch & Timer the third — none of them replaces the others.
Heavy sleeper? Look at wake-up challenges
Smart Alarm Clock can require a task before the alarm stops. If snoozing is your failure mode, that is the feature to check first.
Timers that run in parallel
Stopwatch & Countdown Timer keeps several countdowns at once and adds laps and interval modes — cooking on two burners and timing training sets are the typical cases.
Permissions decide whether it works
Alarms need notifications enabled and background running allowed; sleep sounds play through the night with a sleep timer. Grant what the job needs, or the app cannot do it.

Questions about sleep & time apps
Which alarm actually gets me out of bed?
Smart Alarm Clock — it can require a wake-up challenge before it goes quiet, so switching it off means being awake enough to think, not just reaching the nightstand.
Can I mix my own sleep sounds?
Yes. Relax Melodies lets you combine rain, white noise and ambient sounds into a mix and set a sleep timer so it fades out after you drift off.
Is there an interval timer for training?
Stopwatch & Countdown Timer includes interval modes alongside laps and multiple parallel countdowns — set the work and rest periods and let it cycle.
