Heavy sleeper? Meet your match.

In one paragraph

Auren Alarm is an iPhone alarm clock for heavy sleepers: people who sleep through every alarm, hit snooze without remembering, or fall back asleep. It won't stop until you finish a short wake-up mission, like a walk, a shake, a quick math round, push-ups or a photo of something across the room. Stop it without the mission and it rings again a minute later, for up to an hour.

Go on. Try to switch it off.

Ring the alarm, then try the half-asleep move: slide it away. Watch what happens. The only way out is the mission, just like in the app.

Tell Auren what you can't be late for

Work, school, the gym, prayer or a big day. Your reason shows up on the mission screen, right when it's hardest.

02

Set your time. Auren builds your Wake Plan

A new first run sets everything up in under a minute: your alarm, your mission and a plan that fits your mornings.

03

When it rings, the mission opens

Even on the Lock Screen. It rings in Silent mode, with Focus on and after a restart.

No going back to bed

Honest comparison

Your iPhone's Clock app vs Auren Alarm

The built-in Clock app is a great alarm, if you wake up when it rings. Auren is for the mornings when you don't.

Questions people ask

Auren Alarm, answered.

What is the best alarm app for heavy sleepers?

Auren Alarm is built for exactly that. It can't be switched off half-asleep: it keeps ringing until you complete a short wake-up mission, it comes back if you skip the mission, and it rings even in Silent mode.

How does Auren Alarm stop me from going back to sleep?

To stop the alarm you finish a mission that needs a working brain or a moving body: walking, shaking the phone, push-ups, squats, a quick math round, a memory or word puzzle, a photo of something across the room, or saying an affirmation out loud. With Auren Pro, a still-up check rings 5 minutes after your mission to make sure you didn't go back to bed.

What happens if I stop the alarm without doing the mission?

It rings again a minute later, and keeps coming back for up to an hour. Only finishing the mission switches it off for good.

Does Auren Alarm ring on Silent or with Focus on?

Yes. Auren is built on Apple's own alarm system (AlarmKit), so it rings in Silent mode, with Focus on and after a restart. When it rings, the mission opens right away, even on the Lock Screen.

What if I fall back asleep after the mission?

With Auren Pro, a still-up check rings 5 minutes after your mission. If you're back under the covers, you'll know about it.

Does Auren Alarm need the internet?

No. Alarms and missions work fully offline, even in airplane mode.

Does Auren Alarm upload my photos or recordings?

Never. Every mission is checked on your iPhone. No photo, video, audio or sensor reading ever leaves it. See the Auren Alarm privacy policy for the full detail.

Which wake-up missions are there?

14 missions in four groups. Move: walk, shake, push-ups, squats. Look: find an object, photo of the sky, photo of your bed, scan a QR code. Think: Meteor Math, memory, word puzzle, reverse taps. Sense: say an affirmation out loud, or prove the lights are on.

Can a friend help me wake up?

Yes. With Wake Witness, one friend gets a nudge if you're still in bed 15 minutes after your alarm. With Wake Buddies, a friend's message stays sealed until you finish your mission.

Is Auren Alarm free?

Yes. The free plan gives you one alarm with the Shake and Math missions, free forever. Auren Pro is optional and adds all 14 missions, unlimited alarms, the still-up check, your full history, every sunrise preset and no ads. You can try Pro free for 7 days on the yearly plan. On the yearly plan, Pro costs less per month than a cup of coffee.

Which languages and devices does Auren Alarm support?

Auren Alarm runs on iPhone with iOS 26.1 or later. It's available in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Turkish.
