Waking up can be hard. The alarm on your phone might be annoying, and it’s all too easy to hit snooze and leave yourself scrambling to get ready for the day. Here are some apps that help you wake up in a way that feels good for you—and that makes it easier to start the day with enough time!
The only thing worse than waking up early is waking up to a boring alarm clock—or worse, the droning beep of your phone’s built-in alarm. Why not make your mornings a little more enjoyable by using a new alarm app that’ll help you wake up gradually, get up and move around, and even wake you up with beautiful artwork?
Here are five apps that’ll help you wake up happier and ready to take on your day.
Best Apps For Waking Up
Good Morning Alarm Clock
iOS and Android, free
If you find you often wake without feeling rested, the Good Morning Alarm Clock can help as it cleverly wakes you during your natural waking phase using a playlist of your favourite songs. It also tracks the quality of your sleep and alerts you if you’re not getting enough shut-eye.
Download the app for iPhones and Android devices.
Sunrise Alarm Clock
iOS and Android, £0.99
If you struggle with the lack of natural light to wake you in the winter months, try the Sunrise Alarm Clock app, which offers a gentle way to wake as it gradually turns up the brightness on your phone until you wake. Using your location to calculate sunrise, the alarm will wake you at first light or you can select the time manually. If this isn’t enough to rouse you from a deep slumber, then it plays relaxing nature sounds to help wake you.
Download the app for iPhones and Android devices.
Calm
iOS, Android and Desktop, starts at £7.99
Get your day off to a relaxed start with this guided mindfulness app by Calm. The app guides you through a simple meditation, focusing on breathing and positive thinking. If you have a busy day ahead, allow yourself a moment of calm focus before getting out of bed to get your day off to a good start. Alternatively, if you have trouble sleeping, listen to the nature sounds or sleep stories to help you drift off.
Download the app for iPhones and Android devices.
Dawn Chorus
iOS and Android, free
Even if you live in an urban area, nature lovers can enjoy a daily dose of birdsong with this chirpy app by Carnegie Museum of Natural History and The Innovation Studio. A more relaxing alternative to the beeping of your alarm clock, the Dawn Chorus app uses the calming sound of birdsong in the trees to wake you. It is possible to create a custom chorus and learn more about each species.
Download the app for iPhones and Android devices.
Easy Rise Alarm
iOS, Android, free or £5.99 for pro version
Ease yourself from a deep slumber to alert and ready to face the day with guided visualisation, stretching and breathing techniques, relaxing sound effects and inspiring music leaves you calm, refreshed and inspired for the day ahead.
Download the app for iPhones and Android devices.
Alarmy
iOS and Android, free
A slightly more energetic way to encourage you out of bed is Alarmy, which requires you to solve a puzzle or do an activity to turn it off, such as taking a photo of something in your home or solving a maths question. Hopefully, by the time you’ve cracked your mission, you’ll be wide awake.
Download the app for iPhones and Android devices.
CARROT Talking Alarm
iOS, £2.99
For a bit of fun, try the talking CARROT app, which will talk, play songs or entertain you until you wake up. Be warned though if you do fancy hitting snooze, CARROT gets a little annoyed and will start forcing you to do tasks and chores to turn off the alarm.
Download the app for iPhones.

I have a rough time waking up in the AM. I’m a real vampire and I rarely get to sleep before 5 or 6, so waking up at 8.30 is a real beast. I love this app because you can’t really sleep through it. It keeps going until you pick up your phone and shak More
