Over the years I’ve had a bunch of different gentle alarm sounds. Most of them were nature sounds I edited myself. For example, once I had an owl sound that started from zero volume, but ramped up very gradually.
However, now that I use an iPhone, it hasn’t been very easy to do that. Making a custom ringtone is just stupidly convoluted, and making a custom alarm seems to be completely impossible. I need to look into that, because I really miss my great alarm sounds. The default sounds are all trash.
I remember adding some back in the day, and to this day, they are still available even though I switched from the iPhone 7 I had to the 13. I know you have to do it through iTunes, but that is all that I remember. :(
If you use the normal alarm feature, it’s possible to use custom sounds. However, if you use the sleep schedule from health, you’re stuck with the default sounds instead.
Good idea. What sound do you use, just out of curiosity?

Oh, you are exactly right! I never used the sleep schedule for this exact reason! I need that nuclear meltdown alarm, or I am not waking up! xD

Nice. I can see how that’d work. I might have to steal the idea.
i wonder what everyone else is using… and which alarm apps lets you have a playlist instead of a single song
My default android alam let’s you use a Spotify playlist. Sadly not with local music tho
