An alarm clock shouldn't shell-shock you out of your dreams. That's why I created Gentle Alarm which tries to wake you up during light sleep using an optional pre-alarm.
Alarm clocks can't know if you are in light sleep or deep sleep (those movement based alarm clock don't work) but they can play a very quiet pre-alarm which you will only hear if you are in light sleep. If you are in deep sleep, you will simply sleep through the pre-alarm.
The pre-alarm plays 30min before you really want to get up (you can change that). If the pre-alarm wakes you up, you will be more refreshed than if you had slept until the main alarm because at that time you would have fallen back into deep sleep. Give it a try and I am sure you won't want to miss it anymore.
Of course, the app has all the usual features of a great alarm clock:
It can switch to a night display automatically when docking the phone. It can automatically shorten the snooze time with each time you press snooze. It can automatically create playlists of your favorite artist or genre. And it allows you to change colors, fonts, and backgrounds.
PERMISSIONS:
* RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: So it can activate an alarm after you reboot the phone. After reboot, all alarms of all apps are cancelled by default.
* WAKE_LOCK: So the phone can stay on while playing an alarm or while displaying the night display.
* DISABLE_KEYGUARD: When the alarm rings, you don't have to unlock the phone to be able to turn the alarm off.
* VIBRATE: obvious
* WRITE_SETTINGS: It adjusts some system settings such as airplane mode, silent mode, etc.
* WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: It logs some data on your SD card.
* READ_PHONE_STATE: So it can turn off the alarm when the phone rings and prevent an alarm from ringing while you are talking on the phone.
* READ_LOGS: So you can send me debug data (if you choose to)
* INTERNET: So that I can display ads (trial version only). Also, if the app crashes, it offers to send me a debug report directly to my servers. The app will politely ask you if you want to send that data or not. If you do, it needs an internet connection. If not, it doesn't but I still need the permission in the app because you may want to send the debug data.

[2013-09-05] A Google User: Been using this for years and love it. Hard to imagine, but I've been using Gentle Alarm for years-- I bought the paid version 3 years ago almost to the day, and used the free version for months before that. Excellent use of three bucks. This thing has a TON of options that I'm sure I don't utilize in the best possible way. But, this app reliably wakes me up each morning without anything blaring or disruptive. What's super great about this is the support. Any time you have an issue or questions about GA, contact the developer, and they'll get it sorted. They're really on the ball. |
|
[2013-07-30] A Google User: Awesome. I just love it... |
|
[2013-06-29] A Google User: Doesn't work on wednesdays That's my late start |
|
[2013-06-16] A Google User: Seems nice but There is no ability to play a song alarm just one time -- It plays for a certain number of minutes only and then the song cuts off. Too much feature focus on people who don't wake up, and not enough on just basic alarm functions like playing a song once. |
|
[2013-06-02] A Google User: Best android alarm I've tested out all major alarms, and this one is the best. The pre-alarm is great. UI is very nice. Great support from developer as well. And has the best alarm widget, it's a small widget with next alarm on it, that I could not find with other alarms. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Makes waking easier & certain. Well designed and works very well. Let's me have loudness to wake, snooze for laziness, will not let me over snooze, and awakens me naturally on most mornings. Clock lighting is not a concern for me, but this has multiple options for being dim as you need it. Excellent alarm app--no sense looking any further! |
|
[2013-05-09] A Google User: Hey what's up I just wanted tell you how much I love this app and I need a request! I don't want to install clock apps galore for one clock app that does this or that features that I needed to do. yours does many features that I love the specialist alarm wake up and sounds to go to sleep, now I thought that what I really need also is an hourly or half hour voice announcements of time etc everything from five minutes or every fifteen mins with hourly the alarm clock just to do hourly alarm speech synthesis my hands are dirty with grease or oil etc from working in the field, but if you were to add the voice chimes or comes like a grandfather clock would do as h another option. then I don't have to pick up with my dirty handsthat are a little always grease oiled or have paint and don't want to touch phone etc.. maybe also you could add in my calendar events aloud or Google timed task event. most importantly though voice announcements 5 mins past the hour or 15 minutes past hour 30 minutes in the hour or the time is 2:00 PM you have 3 calendar event upcoming calendar #1 etc events, tasks etc. dude hi5 hi5 hi5 hi5 hi5 hi5 hi5 for such a great app I use on a daily basis! I've purchased every app so far you have created! love sleep now! seven lucky high fives always. DyingJedi ps feel free to ask me anything etc. |

[2013-04-17] A Google User: Not great Works but I am certain there are better |
|
[2013-04-08] A Google User: Wonderful idea And works like a charm. Anyone who hates morning or has to rouse people who do should use this. |
|
[2013-03-31] A Google User: Great Great app |
|
[2013-02-19] A Google User: This does work |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Ha ha ha Never experienced a free version of an app that doesn't work on certain days, and on top of that, if you use a certain phone you won't get other aspects of the app. The free version, is a way to show someone that your app is worth paying for. You should fix all your bugs, then offer your product. Uninstalling. |
|
[2013-01-19] A Google User: Need improve The menu is a mess. And the alarm icon in the status bar bothers me, Uninstalling. |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Me likee Great alarm! The gentle part or pre alarm is wonderful! Really seems to make a difference in my mornings ;) |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Good Needs more alarms features. I like the blinking screen light alarm of alarm clock plus. More app settings. Trial App sucks though... way to many pop up messages!!! One is to many this has like 4-6 |
|
[2012-12-01] A Google User: Great App, too complicated This App does the Job, but It would be easier to hack into the FBI mainframe than setting an alarm on this app |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Excellent feature set Great design and layout, offers everything the stock alarm lacks. Follow instructions and disable auto updates and you will have no issues with lost alarms. |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Way too intricate It's just a bloody alarm. Please the reduce the amount of text to read. |
|
[2012-10-16] A Google User: Uninstalling Glad I tried the free version. All the alarm did was wake me at 5 am instead of 5.30 and leave me feeling like a zombie all day. The " pre alarm" was as loud as my watch alarm. Not for me. |
|
[2012-10-09] A Google User: Much potential Looks great with loads of customisation...only problem is that it makes my S2 run very hot, so can't use |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Works great! (LG Optimus Elite) The pre-alarm is where it's at. I have a quiet white noise tone that starts playing 15 minutes before my regular alarm. It's set to fade in over a period of 5 minutes that starts it out too quiet to hear. Most days I wake up before the regular alarm goes off and it feels like I woke up naturally. Using it in conjunction with Sleep Cycles (Ambiate) to figure out when I should be getting to sleep and the two go very well together. |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: Not for couples. App works well, but the design would only work sleeping alone. Whoever is sleeping the lightest is going to wake the other up to turn it off. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Great app Tried a few different alarm clocks. Love this one. Will be buying. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Uber qiet, d osnt even make a difference. |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: It's ok, but... 3 annoying things: Font is very small on alarm set up screen (plenty of space on the screen to make it bigger). Phone vibrates when in/out of night screen. Call/notification sound gets switched to vibration mode automatically when in night screen mode... |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Morgan Excellent alarm clock. Requires a little effort to learn how to use it. Lots of options and things to play with. The pre- alarm is pretty cool. |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: Volume Bug I really want to like this application. It's king on features. But, there's a big problem when using music from sd card, alarm is ALWAYS played at max volume with no fade, regardless of settings. Ice cream sandwich on Samsung galaxy S2. |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: Not for HTC One V I wanted a night-clock app but on my HTC One V the return, home, and recent buttons at the bottom remained lit when the clock was active. They were actually brighter than the clock! Thus uninstalled. |
|
[2012-08-20] A Google User: Great, bit could use an update to the UI Try it. You won't be dissapointed. I've purchased the full version. |
|
[2012-08-10] A Google User: Fail Alarm stays silent, app looks horrible. |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Not good The menu is complicated and confusing.. I woke up today and clicked on the "off" button.. It gives me a confirmation yes/no option.. Lol |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: greatnesssss u know rhat feeling when youve overslept and woke up relaxed then panicked to see what time it was? thats how i felt. i alarmed it for 930 and gradually woke up n hurried to see the time and thought this alarm was probably ringing for hours. it was just 933. i woke up feeling relaxed. the developer knows about sleep very well. goood job. i wake up feeling relaxed n not startled. |
|
[2012-07-28] A Google User: Wow I'm a really heavy sleeper and always thought I needed loud alarms but this one is amazing! It wakes you up gently and you wake up faster because if it. I might actually buy the full version. Love it! |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Good Good but alarm clock expert know the same and more |
|
[2012-07-23] A Google User: Pre-alarm startled me out of sleep several times. Settings go from too loud to no sound. It's no different than my regular alarm. |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Stopped all other alarms on Wednesday Didn't set it on Wednesday, set alarms that came with the phone, 9 of them (i have issues waking up) nothing no sound, had no issues with the Wednesday thing until I woke up 40 mins late. |
|
[2012-07-17] A Google User: Great Alarm Clock! Love it. |
|
[2012-06-29] A Google User: Woke me up half hour early from deep sleep as pre-alarm. I need my sleep!sucks! |
|
[2012-06-28] A Google User: Bought the full version, but still got the upgrade warning, so went for refund. Shame as this seemed like a great app. |
|
[2012-06-22] A Google User: Super Love this alarm |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: good good app |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: Works well. Considering buying the full version. The only qualm is I find the icon incredibly ugly, especially on a high dpi screen. |
|
[2012-06-07] A Google User: Does not work I bought paid version and kept closing. I got a refund. The trial version works. Please fix and release a new version and I will but |
|
[2012-05-30] A Google User: No Wednesdays Doesn't ring on Wednesday? Who does that?! |
|
[2012-05-22] A Google User: Battery killer Responsible for 30% of my battery use!!?!! Uninstall. |
|
[2012-04-23] A Google User: Volume issues Can't depend on volume to be accurate. Already been burned once. Galaxy Nexus |
|
[2012-04-23] A Google User: volume too soft cant increase vol. of voice or alarm to anywhere near loud enough! my phone settings all on high too ... uninstall |
|
[2012-04-22] A Google User: Favorite alarm app Please bring back the old time picker from the last version, made it very easy to set times. Or at least an option to change it to that. |
|
[2012-04-10] A Google User: GREAT! but... Great alarm! I love it and the fade in option and challenges when you wake up are so genius. But honestly I can't always depend on the alarms to go off... sometimes, especially when I change something about the alarm, it just wont go off at all for the next few days but it still says it will. That's a bit irksome. |
|
[2012-03-26] A Google User: Greatest alarm app ever |
|
[2012-03-23] A Google User: Complicated but good! Can be complicated at first but does a good job once you get used to it. This is my bedside clock of choice. |
|
[2012-03-21] A Google User: I like it Lots |
|
[2012-03-18] A Google User: It never worked... Seems like every day is wednesday for this trial app... |
|
[2012-03-16] A Google User: was good... but now after the latest update I cannot hear any more sounds. silent alarm does not help much |
|
[2012-03-07] A Google User: Best night clock and alarm options! |
|
[2012-03-03] A Google User: It dont do an alarms on wednesday & I downloaded on Wednesday |
|
[2012-02-24] A Google User: Buggy. Very carefully set alarm. Checked & re checked to make sure everything was done correctly. When the set alarm time came alarm sound only worked intermittently & then was so quiet could barely hear it. Went back & retraced my steps & tried again, same thing happened. Atrix. |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: I love this &am really surprised that some people don't!there r loads of features far 2many for sthing free! I now wake &feel alive thanks :-) |
|
[2012-02-14] A Google User: Locks up phone Recently started crashing the phone after the alarm goes off. |
|
[2012-01-31] A Google User: Alarm does not respect silent mode So, I was in an exam and my teacher said "if your phone goes off, you get a 0." I put my phone on silent, then 2 mins in my alarm goes off anyway, and I get a zero. Thanks. |
|
[2012-01-28] A Google User: Attention First of all to all if the people out there who says this alarm needs more features and control I would love for you to explain why .. I have a paid version of extreme, AC+ and gentle alarm and I have tried a few other free alarms. Nothing is as good. Wtf do you mean no features? No alarm has more features than this app on the market for crying or loud. Stupid people need to learn how to use the app before complaining |
|
[2012-01-21] A Google User: Buggy Does not work consistently on Droid 3 so whats the point. |
|
[2012-01-18] A Google User: Amazing <3 |
|
[2012-01-11] A Google User: Too bad I tried it on wed The trial doesn't work on wed...that's lame...good thing because I found alarm klock instead and its free |
|
[2012-01-02] A Google User: I don't get why people are complaining about this app, it's the best alarm clock you could ever want. Try it, it takes some tinkering around in it to understand how it works but it works great and is full of great features! |
|
[2011-12-30] A Google User: Madness A ridiculous EULA for an alarm clock? What?! |
|
[2011-12-13] A Google User: Don't use! This morning the alarm didn't go off at all and the latest update crashed the phone so bbadly that I had to take out the battery to restart it. WTF??? |
|
[2011-12-08] A Google User: Disappointed Looks like a good app but too many bugs for me. Really wanted to like it and work with developer but painfully slow responses via the official forum. |
|
[2011-11-28] A Google User: - Unpolished, rough around the edges. Alarm keeps phone awake while going off; wake up to battery drain. I really wanted to like this app!! |
|
[2011-11-17] A Google User: Worst experience waking up The ringing the alarm was producing, instead of waking me up, became deafening in my dream. Woke up 25 minutes early desperately wanting to throw it. |
|
[2011-11-14] A Google User: Best alarm app available. Play with the app a get to know it before giving a negative comment. Its almost too flexible. Absolutly brilliant |
|
[2011-11-05] A Google User: Timer? Love the options but wouldn't a timer be nice???? |
|
[2011-11-03] A Google User: Lovely app, but eats battery. Loved the app, and I even liked all the optional settings. But, it flattened my battery in 6 hours even when it was supposed to be sleeping quietly. |
|
[2011-10-25] A Google User: Absolutely awesome! |
|
[2011-10-07] A Google User: Love it Great alarm |
|
[2011-10-06] A Google User: The app froze after the alarm went off. Couldn't hit Snooze or Off. Had to go in and force stop it. Uninstalled and looking for another. Evo 3d |
|
[2011-10-04] A Google User: Artur Ich bin seht zufrieden |
|
[2011-09-30] A Google User: Favorite alarm ever Hurts my ears to listen to my default on Wednesdays but I'm rejuvenated all other days. |
|
[2011-09-29] A Google User: Amazing. I've been a terribly deep sleeper all my life and have often been late to work. Blaring alarms couldn't wake me. This I wake up early & well rested. |
|
[2011-09-26] A Google User: Excellent alarm! Excellent app so far. Love the configurability and pre-alarm idea. Seems to work reliably on my phone without the keep-awake measures. |
|
[2011-09-24] A Google User: Chugged like a cow on froyo, but runs like an absolute dream now that my galaxy s has gotten its gingerbread update (finally!) 101% awesome! |
|
[2011-09-15] A Google User: Useless. Drains battery. Desire froyo. |
|
[2011-09-11] A Google User: Sucks |
|
[2011-09-07] A Google User: Liked the app, but not being able to reenable screen fade/lock really destroyed my battery. I refuse to carry my charger everywhere I go. :( |
|
[2011-09-01] A Google User: Was good app. lost 2 stars due to annoying multiple click alarm stop and no Wednesday at the same time as ads! |
|
[2011-08-30] A Google User: I don't know how I managed to live without this alarm,after trying Gentle Alarm,the default Android alarm seems so boring and basic.HTC Desire Z. <3 |
|
[2011-08-11] A Google User: This is the best alarm I have ever used. The first day I used it I was hooked, I haven't felt this refreshed in the morning in a long time. |
|
[2011-08-09] A Google User: annoying notification Very customizable, but the fact that it always displays a notification at the top of your notification list is very annoying. |
|
[2011-08-08] A Google User: great app! I wouldn't believe I can wake up so early.. |
|
[2011-08-08] A Google User: Good idea but i keep needing an extra 15 mins of sleep. |
|
[2011-07-30] A Google User: I love this alarm's flexible features & options, and really enjoy being able to coordinate it effortlessly with Sleep Bot to keep track of my sleep. |
|
[2011-07-25] A Google User: ITS FREE GET OVER THE WEDNESDAY THING. BUY THE FULL VERSION IDIOTS. |
|
[2011-07-21] A Google User: Love the customizations, but it doesn't ring on any day. No task killers, just doesn't work. |
|
[2011-07-21] iss: Love the customizations, but it doesn't ring on any day. No task killers, just doesn't work. |
|
[2011-07-20] A Google User: I was really hoping to test this out tonight. Guess not. |
|
[2011-07-20] Kris: I was really hoping to test this out tonight. Guess not. |
|
[2011-07-12] A Google User: My god, it's gr8. It's a free version w/all these cool features& options. Quit ur complaining u nerds! Thx dev! |
|
[2011-07-12] A Google User: I need to be able to set pre alarm volume to less than 5% - otherwise excellent app. Take the time to configure it to your sleep pattern. |
|
[2011-07-12] A Google User: Mistake not making it work on wednesday So I downloaded this app to test it, but will have to wait another day to do so. I think its a mistake having such a limitation. |
|
[2011-07-12] ultragirl: My god, it's gr8. It's a free version w/all these cool features& options. Quit ur complaining u nerds! Thx dev! |
