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

About Subaki
Subaki is a highly streamlined iOS application designed to take the friction out of video captioning for content creators. Geared toward short-form video platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, it automatically generates accurate, perfectly timed subtitles. Users simply choose a video from their gallery, and the app's voice recognition engine handles the heavy lifting, outputting text word-by-word exactly as it is spoken in any of its eight supported languages. What truly sets Subaki apart is its absolute commitment to user privacy and a seamless experience. There are no accounts to create, no sign-ups required, no hidden tracking, and absolutely no intrusive watermarks or ads. Once the text is generated, users have full creative control to restyle fonts, tweak colors, adjust text outlines, and apply popular 'karaoke' effects. Furthermore, the video file never leaves the user's device; only the audio is briefly and securely sent to the cloud for transcription. Subaki features a uniquely generous pricing model. It is completely free forever for creators based in Greece, the solo developer's home country. For users elsewhere, the first three videos are free, followed by an ultra-affordable 'early-bird' Pro tier of just $11.99 (or €11.99) per year. While the app is currently an iOS exclusive, an Android version is promised to be arriving very soon.
Pros of Subaki
- Incredibly frictionless user experience with no accounts, no sign-ups, no ads, and no watermarks.
- Highly affordable subscription at just $11.99/year, and completely free for users in Greece.
- Robust customization options including trendy 'karaoke' styling, custom fonts, and hard-coded 'burned-in' exports.
Cons of Subaki
- Platform availability is currently limited to iOS, leaving Android users waiting for a future release.
- A strict 10-minute maximum video length makes the tool unsuitable for long-form content like full podcasts or YouTube essays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my privacy protected? Does Subaki store my videos?

What languages does the app currently support?
Subaki features state-of-the-art recognition for 8 languages: English, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, and Dutch.
