## Awaken Description
Awaken is the alarm clock you'll actually look forward to.

Wake up gently, on your terms — to your favorite music, a soothing nature sound, a personalized spoken message, or your own custom haptic rhythm. Then make Awaken your bedside companion with a stunning always-on clock, a sleep timer to drift off to, and smart countdown timers for everything in between.

WAKE UP YOUR WAY
• Set one-time, repeating, or date-specific alarms in seconds
• Wake to any song, album, playlist, or artist from Apple Music and your library
• Choose from 37+ built-in sounds across Nature, Classic, Energetic, Fun, and Premium collections
• Fade in the volume and screen brightness for a gentle, natural wake-up
• Set the alarm volume independently from your phone — and it's restored automatically afterward

A PERSONAL TOUCH
• Add a custom wake-up message and have Awaken read it aloud
• Choose from 12 customizable haptic patterns, from a soft pulse to a relentless buzz
• Smart snooze with adjustable duration and snooze limits to keep you on track

A CLOCK WORTH WAKING UP TO

• 19 themed gradient backgrounds, from Sunrise and Aurora to Synthwave and Cherry Blossom
• Show or hide seconds, date, and AM/PM; dim automatically at night
• Long-press to customize and swipe through styles and themes live

SLEEP TIMER
• Drift off to your favorite music with a gentle automatic fadeout
• Set any duration and pick a song, album, or playlist — or run it silent

SMART TIMERS
• Run multiple named timers at once
• Live countdown right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Pause, resume, and restart with a tap — even when the app is closed
• Have Awaken announce each timer by name when it finishes

BUILT FOR iPHONE & iPAD

## Awaken Reviews in United States

### ***** "A Classic iPhone App"
So glad the developers have revived this classic iPhone clock / alarm app. It is very customizable and offers some unique looks. They were doing "Standby Mode" before Apple ever did!
-- corsairstw, 2026-07-25

### ***-- "It was decent"
Used this app daily and worked great for the last few years. It just updated and now it’s terrible. It doesn’t work trying to play music now. Only the backup app alarm sounds work. Before the update I could dim the clock to barely on note it auto dims and barely comes off of bright even when the phone screen is dimmed all the way down. I want the old version back.
-- OCC2020, 2026-06-24

### ***-- "App Stopped Working"
Yesterday my app stopped working, I can no longer access the alarm or any settings listed at the bottom, what happened?
-- MTBMC73, 2019-10-11

### *---- "Sad day"
It's a sad day. I have to delete this now. 

I've been using it for years; I sleep so soundly I need additional alarms to wake up. Awaken was my go-to for several years, but now, on iOS 10, it doesn't even function anymore. You can't enable alarms, and half the UI is broken. It used to be great, but it's time to move on. No updates in almost 4 years.
-- funjon, 2016-11-04

### **--- "Unreliable"
At first it worked great. But now...it's pretty unreliable. I push the button to on and then save only to go back and check and it's back to off (when setting my alarm). I've had it go off while my phone was on vibrate. I've had it not do anything while I've purposely waited for it to go off. I've deleted and reinstalled it and same thing.
-- HisWarrior808, 2016-10-07

### *---- "Deleted app from my iPad"
When I first downloaded this app several years ago I loved it, but with each OS upgrade the app became less and less reliable until, ultimately, I had to delete the alarm I'd set that morning and create a new one that night for the following morning ... EVERY single day. Finally I got sick enough to delete the app altogether and purchase Nightstand Central, which is MUCH better.
-- Zombie Whisperer, 2016-09-16

### ****- "Great as a Home screen digital clock for night time"
I’ve never had a problem with the alarm function, but I rarely use this app for that feature anyway.

For me, this app is perfect to give me a nighttime digital clock on my Home Screen, for when I wake up and night - I don’t want a bright light in my face, but I often have to get up, and then find my way back to bed - I only need a small amount of light, and the Lock Screen clock won’t suffice because it doesn’t stay on……it shuts off after a few seconds if you don’t swipe to unlock (or use touch ID).

So I just launch this app before going to bed, and if I wake up and need the little bit of light it produces whilst seeing the time, it’s perfect.
-- TechKitten, 2016-04-02

### **--- "Has great potential, but unreliable"
When I first downloaded this app back in 2012 it worked great.  I really liked being able to wake up to my own music and to have the music fade in over time.  At that time, the app was very reliable.  As time progressed and new updates were released, the app has become unreliable.  I have arrived late to work and missed several other events because of this app. I would change the alarm time and save it.  I would check the alarm several times to make sure the change was saved, which appeared to be.  I would then fall asleep thinking the app would wake me up at the new time.  Much to my dismay, I would wake up late.  After checking the alarm, I would see that the change to the alarm wasn't saved.  I have been unable to find any rhyme or reason as to why changes are saved sometimes and not others.  At this point, I have reached my limit on frustration and will be looking for a new app.
-- BurtonBoarder5, 2015-07-22

### *---- "Best in class alarm ...but broken in iOS 8"
This has been my go-to alarm app until iOS 8 came out. Now it won't even open. Please fix!
-- The Teaman, 2014-09-29

### ***-- "Please update to support new OS!!!!"
Awesome app until you update your OS!  Now even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app I can't even open the App., please release a new version soon! :-(
-- Urban_Nomad, 2014-09-20
