Shachar: Jewish Alarm Clock

Shachar is a Jewish alarm clock, zmanim guide, and smart reminder app in one. Set a reliable alarm that rings even when your phone is locked or on silent, wake up gently, and start the day with the right davening times for exactly where you are.

Whether you need a loud morning alarm that actually gets you out of bed or a quiet wake before netz, Shachar is built to fit a Jewish daily schedule.

An Alarm Clock That Actually Wakes You
- Reliable alarms that ring even when your phone is locked or on silent, with a full-screen wake-up
- One-time, recurring, and multiple alarms with snooze
- Wake Sequence: a gradual alarm that rings a few times leading up to your set time, so waking feels easier
- Wake-up challenges: solve a quick math problem or take a few steps to turn the alarm off, so you really get out of bed
- Custom alarm sounds, including Sunrise, Gentle Chimes, Classic Bell, and a Shofar

Great for heavy sleepers who snooze through a normal alarm and want to be up in time for shacharis or minyan.
