Not Bed, an alarm clock with something to say
A phone alarm app that plays a chosen voice recording through the native alarm system, including over the lock screen and on silent mode.
Field notes
Not Bed differentiates itself from notification-based alarm apps by describing a native alarm workflow: on iPhone, the page specifically names AlarmKit, with full-screen lock-screen behavior and silent-mode ringing. Its examples turn the alarm into a self-contained instruction, from catching an early train to taking two tablets from the white box. The page also draws a clear storage boundary: recordings remain on the device, while optional sync uses the user's own iCloud space.
