An alarm clock for iPhone
Wake up to the sea, not to a siren.
snoozetaker wakes you with a wave, a rainfall or a fire in the grate, so the first thing you hear in the morning isn't an emergency. On iOS 26 it rings through silent mode and a Focus, the way the built-in clock does.
Rings through silent mode
On iOS 26, snoozetaker schedules a system alarm, so a Focus or the ring/silent switch will not keep it quiet. On earlier versions it rings through notifications instead, for five minutes rather than one polite beep.
Gentle fade-in
Choose how long the alarm takes to reach full volume: off, or anything up to two minutes. The fade plays while the app is open; a system alarm rings at full volume, because iOS hands it one file and one level.
Sounds recorded outdoors
Rain in pine woods, a dawn chorus in Hampshire, gulls over a harbour, a wood stove, frogs at night. Most are field recordings, all are public domain, CC0 or CC-BY, and every loop is seamless so nothing clicks or restarts.
Sounds that are two sounds
Rain on a fire. Gulls over surf. A stream under a dawn chorus. Mixed together properly rather than layered at playback, so they arrive as one sound.
Sleep sounds too
The same catalogue plays you to sleep, for anything from ten minutes to an hour and a half, fading out at the end so the stopping never wakes you.
Snooze on your terms
Snooze as many times as you like — that is the default. Cap it if you would rather, or have each snooze come back shorter than the last.
A different time each day
Seven o'clock on weekdays and half past eight on Saturday is one alarm, not two. One thing to switch off when you go away, and one to switch back on.
A backup ring, if you want one
A gentle sound is one you can sleep through. Switch this on and an unanswered alarm rings again a few minutes later. Off unless you ask for it.
Nothing to sign up for
No account, no email, no subscription, and no snoozetaker server for your alarms to sync to. They live on your device and nowhere else.
