Description
Progressive Alarm Clock will wake you up gently and gradually using the beautiful sounds of the Tibetan singing bowl. At the specified alarm time, the bells will begin to ring in a pre-defined pattern - starting out softly and slowly and gradually getting louder and more frequent. You'll come out of your slumber slowly and peacefully. No more being jolted awake. + After setting the alarm, the app can be put in the background - allowing you to use other apps. At the specified alarm time, the alarm pattern will begin. + Choose from five pre-defined patterns with varying bell schedules and escalation lengths. + Choose from six different bells of varying size and metal compositions - from bright and clean to deep and complex with lovely overtones. + You may enter journal notes upon awakening - great for recording your dreams before the memory fades. You can then go back and review your journal entries and you may export the journal via email. For privacy, you may set a password to prevent unauthorized access. + To save battery, you may lock your device's screen and the alarm will still work. Either start the alarm and press the lock (sleep) button, or turn on the "Auto-Lock" setting. + This app uses the same amazing bell sounds used in our Insight Timer meditation timer.

User Reviews
I’ve had this alarm for years and love it! Recently, the alarm doesn’t go off and will reset itself for the next day without alarming for the day it was originally set for.
For good God, when I'm going to bed the last I want is to be prompted to write a damn review.
Unless in the front it does not work well. Cannot even find in list of apps to work in babground.
Works great - really like the gradually increasing volume. Can you make the snooze button bigger and color it so it’s easier to find and activate?
I love this clock, hate getting ‘shouted’ awake. This app is perfect. The only issue I have is about once a month I have to delete & re-download. Iphone 15.
It wakes me up super gently.
It has some nice features, but you have to set every evening and can only set one alarm. No schedule, it doesn’t matters if it is a week day or weekend.
I’ve used this app for years now. I always hated being violently woken up. Now a gentle bell draws me out of the dream world and makes for a better day!
Each night, one has to remember to start the alarm. There is no way to set repeat or to set a different time for, say weekends. Meditation chimes and progressive/fade-in are its primary value-add.
Such a beautiful way to wake up in the morning.
