About AirAlarm
AirAlarm is an iOS app designed to turn your iPhone and AirPods into a gentler, cycle-aware sleep alarm. Created by developer 張詩楓 (カエデエエエ), the tool allows users to set a flexible wake window and wakes them specifically at the completion of a natural 90-minute sleep cycle.
To assist with bedtime routines, AirAlarm enables users to drift off to sleep listening to built-in sounds or their own custom media. The app distinguishes itself through a strong focus on simplicity and privacy: it operates without requiring an Apple Watch, asks for no user account, includes no ads or analytics, and avoids creating any cloud-based sleep profiles.
Pros of AirAlarm
- Wakes users gently at the end of a 90-minute sleep cycle
- Privacy-first approach with no accounts, ads, analytics, or cloud profiles
- Works using just an iPhone and AirPods without requiring an Apple Watch
- Supports drifting off using built-in audio or custom media
Cons of AirAlarm
- Restricted to iOS users with AirPods
- Relies on standard 90-minute sleep timing rather than dynamic biometric sleep tracking
