Features & Capabilities

Wake up to something worth listening to.

Podcast Alarm replaces your boring alarm tone with the podcast you love. Set an alarm, pick a podcast or build a queue of episodes, and wake up to real content instead of a blaring buzzer.

How it works

Set your alarm time and choose what plays — a specific podcast (always the latest episode) or the next episode in your queue. When the alarm fires, your podcast starts playing. If you're offline, episodes are pre-downloaded so playback is instant.

Features

• Podcast alarm — wake up to your favourite podcast, any day, any time • Skip intro — automatically skip the first 15–120 seconds of every episode • Autoplay queue — line up episodes and they play back-to-back across alarm days • Search thousands of podcasts by name, topic, or host • Discover new shows through curated collections • Variable playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x • Pre-download episodes so your alarm works offline • Nightstand mode — a minimal bedside clock display • Set multiple alarms for different times of day • Reliable delivery via AlarmKit, even when the app is closed

Whether it's your morning alarm, your gym reminder, or your wind-down routine — start it with a podcast.

User Reviews

The app is praised for its appealing concept, clean design, and features like multiple alarms and nightstand mode, plus responsive support. However, it is hampered by reliability issues (alarms not consistently triggering), limited playback/queue controls, a confusing/laggy setup, and a restricted podcast catalog that may omit favorites or paid subscriptions.

Pros

Great idea for a dedicated podcast alarm clock with a simple, clean design.
No ads or subscriptions required; free to use.
Supports multiple alarms for multiple podcasts.
Nightstand mode shows the time all night.
Developer is responsive and helpful in addressing issues and requests.

Cons

Alarm reliability is inconsistent; alarms sometimes do not go off or fail to start.
Playback/queue controls are limited: you cannot delete queue items, there’s no autoplay, and you can’t resume from where you left off in an episode.
Setup and UI can be confusing and laggy, with alarm creation feeling slow and some controls hard to access (e.g., lock screen controls, limited podcast editing).
Podcast catalog is limited; popular podcasts may be missing and linking to paid subscriptions isn’t straightforward.

Recent reviews

The least user-friendly app ever. I cannot play the podcast episode I want to as an alarm and there is no way to delete an episode from the queue.

I love, LOVE, the idea of this so much. But the alarm is not set up-as far as I can tell, to play thethe podcasts under most circumstances. My experience is that the app has to stay open in order for it to work, which And setting up the podcast is a little confusing, and to play the selection as you’re waking up is hit or miss 😭
