A beautifully simple alarm clock and sleep timer for iOS. Gentle sunrise wake-ups, eleven handcrafted ambient sounds, and six gorgeous themes — all in one quiet, ad-free app.
Not another reskinned clock. Every alarm, toggle, and transition is built around a single goal: make the first and last minute of your day feel better.
Gentle gradient alarms ramp up over minutes instead of blasting you awake. Pair with piano, acoustic music, or nature sounds for a calm start.
Drift off to eleven handcrafted ambient sounds. Each one fades out gently so you never wake when it ends — no jarring silence.
Digital, analog, or hybrid clock face. Keep-screen-on mode turns your phone into a beautiful bedside clock — weather and dimmed brightness included.
Heavy sleeper? Solve a math problem. Light sleeper? A gentle slide or double-tap. Pick how hard it is to turn your alarm off — per alarm.
Aurora, Indigo, Ocean, Mint, Rose, Sand. Every gradient and shadow designed to feel premium. Match your mood or match your nightstand.
Everything stays on your device. No account. No tracking. No ads. Ever. Pay once for the app, then forget we exist until your alarm rings.
Every sound is generated in real time inside the app — no compressed MP3s, no looping artefacts, no crackle at the seam. Crafted with pink noise, harmonics, and gentle amplitude modulation.
Every element of Dawn — every gradient, every glow, every button — flows from a single theme colour. The same palette lives on this page: pick one below and see it applied everywhere in real time.
Warm sunrise. The default Dawn palette — orange to amber.
iOS caps each notification sound at 30 seconds. Dawn chains thirty of them into a continuous 15-minute wake-up that stops the instant you tap — not a second later.
Haptic-tuned toggles, smooth 0.38s spring transitions, ultra-thin material cards — the same primitives Apple uses. Every animation re-checks itself at 120 Hz on ProMotion devices.
No subscriptions. No ads. No account to sign up for.
Every feature is unlocked automatically for your first 15 days — no credit card, no sign-up. When the trial ends, you can unlock the full version with a one-time purchase. If you skip the purchase, Dawn still works for core alarm use, but premium features will ask to unlock.
Yes. Alarms use iOS local notifications, so they fire even when the app isn't running. The chain scheduler ensures your alarm rings continuously for up to 15 minutes — plenty of time even for heavy sleepers.
Yes. Dawn uses time-sensitive notifications with custom sounds, which iOS allows through silent mode and Focus. Make sure to grant notification permission on first launch — that's the only permission needed.
No. Dawn has no account system, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. Your alarms, settings, and purchase status live entirely on your device. Weather uses Apple WeatherKit and never leaves Apple's servers.
An alarm clock doesn't need monthly server costs. Charging you forever for something that wakes you up would be weird. Pay once, own it forever — that's how software used to work, and for Dawn it still does.
Yes. Dawn is a universal app — one purchase covers iPhone and iPad. The bedside clock mode looks especially lovely on iPad.
