Awaken is the alarm clock you'll actually look forward to.

Wake up gently, on your terms — to your favorite music, a soothing nature sound, a personalized spoken message, or your own custom haptic rhythm. Then make Awaken your bedside companion with a stunning always-on clock, a sleep timer to drift off to, and smart countdown timers for everything in between.

Choose from 8 beautiful clock styles — Digital, Flip, Segment, Neon Sign, Marquee Bulb, Blueprint, Constellation, and Bloom — paired with 19 themed gradient backgrounds, from Sunrise and Aurora to Synthwave and Cherry Blossom. Drift off to your favorite music with a gentle automatic fadeout, and run multiple named timers at once with a live countdown right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

Whether you want to wake to birdsong, your morning playlist, or a friendly reminder of what today holds, Awaken makes every morning a little brighter.
