Gentle Alarm Clock: Any Date

The dates you keep re-remembering — put one in and put it down. It rings out loud on the day, however far off, with a small pet minding it until then.

Your built-in Clock does tomorrow, and it does weekdays. It cannot do one exact day months from now. Gentle Alarm can — out loud, through Silent Mode and every Focus, on the date you picked. The renewal. The appointment. The birthday you have missed twice.

PICK A DATE. ANY DATE. The 3rd of November. The last Friday of every month. The 2nd Tuesday. Every ten days. The day the insurance runs out. The 1st, every month, forever. Ordinary weekday repeats too — but those were never the hard part.

IT NEVER MAKES YOU GUESS Every armed alarm shows the day it will ring, right on the row, under the time — a dated one reads "Sun, Mar 14, 2027 · 224 days to go". Arm it and it tells you the moment out loud in a line you can read back. Nothing is left for you to infer.

AND YOU CAN CHECK IT WORKS Tap "Ring it now, out loud" and a real alarm fires in about three seconds, with the real tone at the real volume. So you find out today, not on the day it matters. If a permission on your device would stop an alarm getting through, Gentle Alarm says so plainly and offers the fix.

NO JOLT Every tone is hand-built to start near-silent and swell, so it arrives rather than ambushes — Marimba, Rainy Day, Bright Acoustic, and one plainly loud one for when you mean it. Snooze as often as you need. Nothing counts it, nothing scores it, nothing mentions it later.

A LIST FOR EVERYTHING ELSE There's a to-do list built like a message thread: type at the bottom, press return, keep going. Tap a line to cross it off and the whole screen sparkles. It's for what you'd like to remember — not for what has to reach you. For that, set an alarm.

MAKE IT YOURS An animated pet that sits with your alarms, animated themes that fill the screen edge to edge, and your pick of the sparkles that play when something's done. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Live Activity, and the Dynamic Island on iPhone.

SMALL THINGS THAT MATTER

• 7am stays 7am after you land, and a date stays that date
• Skip tomorrow's alarm without switching it off
• Deleted the wrong one? Undo it.
• Built for iPad as well as iPhone, not just stretched to fit

WHAT IT WILL NEVER DO

• Never make you scan a barcode, shake it, or do arithmetic to stop it
• Never count your snoozes, score you, or break a streak
• Never listen to the room, track your sleep, or collect anything about you
• Never ask for an email address, a survey answer, or a monthly payment

PAY ONCE, OR DON'T Every alarm feature is free forever: unlimited alarms, any date, every repeat rule, snooze, widgets, the to-do list and the test button. One optional payment unlocks the rest of the pets, tones, themes and sparkles — once, not monthly, and it includes whatever gets added later.
