SlowdawnA new wake-up time
No jumping an hour overnight. It gets you there in steps your body can keep up with.
7:40 Workdays · day 4 of 12 toward 7:00An alarm for iPhone
Wake up gently. Slowdawn does the planning.
Tell it when you want to be up. It moves your alarm there a few minutes at a time, thinks ahead about weekends, clock changes and trips, and tells you why every alarm is set where it is. All you do is wake up.

How it works
Three answers. Then it takes it from here.
Tell it your goal
When you need to be up, when you get up now, and how gently you'd like to get there. That's the whole setup.
It plans the way
Small daily steps, and smaller ones when you're moving earlier, since that's the harder direction for most body clocks.
You just wake up
Two weeks of alarms are always set ahead. They ring like the Clock app's, even on silent or in a Focus.
It thinks ahead
Life changes the plan. You don't have to.
The moments that usually wreck a sleep routine are the ones Slowdawn plans for. You'll see each one coming, already handled.
The clocks change
The hour is spread across the week around it, so the change arrives without the jolt.
6:56 Easing into the clock change, 5 of 7Weekends
Sleep in a little, with the sunrise if you like. Weekends move in step, so Monday never jumps.
7:52 Weekends · Sunrise +5A big day ahead
New job, first day of school, an early flight. Give it the date and you'll be ready a few days early.
7:15 Workdays · day 3 of 6 toward 6:45 for New jobTravel
Shift a little each day before you fly, so you land closer to local time. Then keep your usual, or move it.

Vacations end gently too. It eases you back toward your workday time instead of all at once.

Every alarm comes with a reason.
An alarm that moves on its own has to earn your trust. So Slowdawn always shows its work. Tap any morning to see exactly how its time was worked out.

Twice a year
The clocks change. Your body doesn't have to jump.
Seasonal clock changes are hard on the body. Slowdawn already knows the next one is coming and spreads the hour across the week, a few minutes a day.
It's on automatically, and it's free. Next US change: March 14, 2027.

Made with care
Calm by design.
Gentle by default
Every change can be eased in. Abrupt ones only happen when you choose them, and the gentlest sounds swell in over a full minute.
Honest science
Small steps are easier than big jumps, and daylight helps set your body clock. Slowdawn sticks to well-supported ideas and cites its sources.
