An alarm clock shouldn't shell-shock you out of your dreams. That's why I created Gentle Alarm which tries to wake you up during light sleep using an optional pre-alarm.
Alarm clocks can't know if you are in light sleep or deep sleep (those movement based alarm clock don't work) but they can play a very quiet pre-alarm which you will only hear if you are in light sleep. If you are in deep sleep, you will simply sleep through the pre-alarm.
The pre-alarm plays 30min before you really want to get up (you can change that). If the pre-alarm wakes you up, you will be more refreshed than if you had slept until the main alarm because at that time you would have fallen back into deep sleep. Give it a try and I am sure you won't want to miss it anymore.
Of course, the app has all the usual features of a great alarm clock: It can switch to a night display automatically when docking the phone. It can automatically shorten the snooze time with each time you press snooze. It can automatically create playlists of your favorite artist or genre. And it allows you to change colors, fonts, and backgrounds.
PERMISSIONS:
* RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: So it can activate an alarm after you reboot the phone. After reboot, all alarms of all apps are cancelled by default.
* WAKE_LOCK: So the phone can stay on while playing an alarm or while displaying the night display.
* DISABLE_KEYGUARD: When the alarm rings, you don't have to unlock the phone to be able to turn the alarm off.
* VIBRATE: obvious
* WRITE_SETTINGS: It adjusts some system settings such as airplane mode, silent mode, etc.
* WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: It logs some data on your SD card.
* READ_PHONE_STATE: So it can turn off the alarm when the phone rings and prevent an alarm from ringing while you are talking on the phone.
* READ_LOGS: So you can send me debug data (if you choose to)
* INTERNET: So that I can display ads (trial version only). Also, if the app crashes, it offers to send me a debug report directly to my servers. The app will politely ask you if you want to send that data or not. If you do, it needs an internet connection. If not, it doesn't but I still need the permission in the app because you may want to send the debug data.

Works well There are lots of settings to tinker with if you want. Mine's set up to give a very gentle start to the alarm - perfect for a light sleeper who doesn't want to wake anyone else. Note: as with all apps on my HTC One, the 'back' and 'home' buttons remain lit when the screen is awake at night, so the night clock function isn't really feasible as the buttons are much brighter than the screen. However, you can set the night mode and just turn on the screen when you want to check the time.

So damn good I quickly bought the app... Really! UI could be better, but there are creators I didn't know I wanted until i saw them! (Like recording an alarm message)
★★★★★
The best, bar none This is by far the best alarm app I've ever used. I got it after my physical alarm clock stopped working and now I don't miss it. FEATURE REQUEST: how about a "sick mode" where it disables your normal alarms so you can sleep through the day?
★★☆☆☆
Full screen ad's I understand that the trial version has adverts but I hate the full screen ad's after the pre alarm and the main alarm. With there bright screens you don't need the main alarm.
★★☆☆☆
Well I installed this app based on an old life hacker article, to try out the app before I buy. While I waited for installation I decided to read the most recent user reviews. Unfortunately based on their experiences I absolutely have no intention of trying this app, and even though it's only a few bucks I'm not buying it without making sure it works on my device. I don't mind having some alarms blocked on certain days, I can use my old alarm on those days. I do think it's worth a wait to find a great alarm. What I'm not willing to risk is adds in the morning when I'm grumpy, sleepy, and in some cases late. If you choose to remove the adds during alarms let me know and I will try your app. If it works as life hacker says I absolutely will buy it, blocking me from Wednesdays is enough to make me buy the app, I think it is a smart and reasonable call.
