Soft Alarm
In developmentSoft Alarm is a planned alarm for iPhone that starts quiet and gets louder over minutes instead of blasting at full volume. It is being built for light sleepers and anyone who shares a room.
Who it's for
It is for light sleepers who wake up already tense. It is for partners who share a bed and do not want to be startled awake too. It is for parents of small children who need to get up without waking the whole house. And it is for anyone who has come to dread the sound of a jarring alarm.
Why
Most alarms are designed to be impossible to ignore, and that often means a sudden loud noise. Soft Alarm is an attempt to do the opposite: start at a level you can sleep through, then rise slowly until you wake. It is still being planned and built, so the details may change.
What it will do
- Slow volume ramp The sound begins very quiet and grows over minutes, so it never hits at full volume.
- Built for light sleepers If you wake at the first small sound, the alarm meets you there instead of jolting you.
- Kind to shared rooms A gentle start means the person next to you is less likely to be startled awake.
- Waking sounds The sounds are chosen to bring you up gradually, not to startle you.
