Sure, the iPhone has an alarm on it, but it’s nothing special and doesn’t do much to get you up and at ‘em. So if you need a more amicable alarm, here are some apps that will make it easier to get out of bed in the morning:
Clock Pro ($0.99 ON SALE; originally $1.99): This app exceeds alarm abilities and is more of an all-purpose, customizable alarm. You can choose themes, have music from your iPod fade in to the alarm, and choose snooze durations. You can even set a timer for music to play as you fall asleep. Furthermore, the app can also be a chess clock, serve as a stop watch, give you information about sunrise, sunset, high and low tide for your GPS positioning, act as an egg timer, be a metronome, and act as a project manager (create, organize, distribute, and time tasks). And the final bonus: you don’t need to have the app open to use it — it runs 24/7 regardless of whatever else you’re using your iPhone for.
Nightstand – The Professional AlarmClock ($1.99): As the name implies, Nightstand encompasses (almost) everything you need before you fall asleep and as soon as you wake up. With Nightstand, you can set and customize multiple alarms and backup alarms, select a sleep timer so you can fall asleep to music, and enjoy details such as the sky color which corresponds to the changing time throughout the day. Furthermore, the app updates you on weather conditions, enables you to access internet radio stations or your iTunes library, and has a built-in browser so that you can search the news first thing in the morning. The only thing missing is some coffee…
iSunrise ($0.99): The visuals in this app are enough to give you a bright start to the day. In the 30 minutes leading up to your scheduled alarm time, the app gradually begins displaying breathtaking pictures of a sunrise from atop a Hawaiian volcano, and as the sun climbs the horizon, whatever alarm noise you select will begin to play (be it iTunes music, nature noises, or any other sounds the app offers). Furthermore the app also makes falling asleep easy as it depicts beautiful pictures of the sunset and enables you to listen to music, podcasts, or white noise as you plunge into a restful state.
Sleep Cycle alarm clock ($0.99): Since there’s more to waking up than simply the time, this app has found a way to analyze your sleep cycles and determine the best time to wake you up given which sleep cycle your in. All you do is place the iPhone on your bed and based on your movement while you sleep, the app calculates and analyzes your sleep patterns so it can wake you up in the lightest sleep phase (within a 30 minute window of your elected alarm time), ensuring you will be as rested as possible, and perhaps add a few minutes to your day. Furthermore, the app saves your sleep data so you can monitor the kind of rest you’ve been getting.
FreakyAlarm ($0.99): Now for a fun spin on the alarm craze. FreakyAlarm not only wakes up your ears, but your brain too. In order for you to silence, you must correctly answer a math question. Furthermore, the app tracks the statistics of how long it has taken you to respond to the alarm and answer the question, enabling you to monitor your progress as you gradually become more responsive in the morning hours. Finally, this app runs perfectly well in the background, meaning you’ll always get a wake-up call from FreakyAlarm, no matter what.
