At the specified alarm time, the bells will begin to ring in a pre-defined pattern - starting out softly and slowly and gradually getting louder and more frequent. You'll come out of your slumber slowly and peacefully. No more being jolted awake. + After setting the alarm, the app can be put in the background - allowing you to use other apps. At the specified alarm time, the alarm pattern will begin. + Choose from five pre-defined patterns with varying bell schedules and escalation lengths. + Choose from six different bells of varying size and metal compositions - from bright and clean to deep and complex with lovely overtones. + Edit the patterns to create your own bell schedules or modify the defaults. Make the patterns as long or as short as you want, escalate the volumes as you please - you have complete control over the pattern definitions. + You may enter journal notes upon awakening - great for recording your dreams before the memory fades.

calm mornings
I have been using this app for years and it is fabulous. It wakes me up in a calm way. I also have set up one sequence that just rings every three minutes and I use it for yoga poses. It is the best!
United StatesBest alarm clock
Waking up to a progressive alarm is a lot less jarring the standard alarm clocks. This app is great with how you can customize the alarm. I wish it was still supported. Update: I have found occasionally the app will reset itself rather than alarm. Hope this bug can be fixed. Update 3/14/19: app is still bugged. Occasionally instead of alarming, it will just reset. I woke this morning to my backup alarm and wondered why this one didn’t work. When I opened my iPad this app was open, alarm was active, but it was going to alarm in 24 hours. Please fix this bug. Thank you Update 3/28/21: bug never fixed. sadly it is obvious this very great app has been abandoned.
United StatesBeautiful alarm!
This is a terrific design for waking up gently, peacefully and effectively. It’s what I was looking for. Nothing else works as well IF you don’t like being jarred awake. Life’s tough enough. Even the cathedral bells I had used weren’t as calming. Thank you! Would be nice if the journal entries would date-stamp themselves.
United StatesA new way to wake up and come alive
Love this app! Is that was mentioned by a writer in the magazine poets and writers as helpful to slowly wake up and retain inspiration from the night before. I love the settings and features and it works just great. It's so nice to wake up to bells and chimes as opposed to a harsh buzzer or the news.
United StatesNice, but...
Unreliable. Any Apple pop up kills it. I would like to love it, but I don’t need a 75% alarm clock- I need a 100% alarm clock. Sorry, but I’m moving back to the obnoxious clingy buzzy crap that works every time.
United StatesAlmost Perfect Alarm
With one exception, it is a perfect alarm. I have found that there is some unexpected interaction between the VOLUME setting of this alarm and other apps where the volume may be lowered. As an example, setting the volume at MAXIMUM (the recommended level) in Progressive Alarm would result in an uncomfortably LOUD volume when later watching a YouTube video. Lowering the volume for the video ALSO affects the alarm volume level; it may be too low when it goes off. If this interaction is kept in mind, then Progressive Alarm is reliable and great!
United StatesNo support, doesn’t work
I would like to give this a 5 star rating but it doesn’t work unless the screen stays on. So, since it’s impossible to leave a device on all night, I can’t use it. I’ve downloaded this before, it had this problem and I deleted it. I thought it would be fixed by now, but it’s not. App support takes me to a website with summaries of the products offered only. I put this here hoping for a response. Really, it’s too bad. I do want this app.
