About this app

Wake up to the sound of nature with the Woodland Alarm Clock. Rise gently to a Northern Cardinal's cheerful song, the sound of gently falling rain, or a Canadian Loon's otherworldly wail. Or, become wide awake to the punctuated territorial calls of the Pileated Woodpecker.

A woodland scene of your choice slowly brightens, simulating a transition from night to day. Meanwhile the bird song gradually intensifies, bringing you reliably to wakefulness without a startling jolt.

- 25 alarm tones of birdsongs and other nature sounds, some loud, some soft
- 45 pictures of beautiful forest scenery
- Check your next alarm at-a-glance with optional Widgets and Notifications
- Wake-up light alarm simulates the morning sunrise

Dozens of bird songs and backgrounds are included, but if you want, you can choose music and pictures from your own media library.

- Learn to identify common birds by song
- Experience the sights and sounds of nature when you're stuck indoors
- Cats and dogs love it!

All photographs were taken by the author, and most are taken in Minnesota parks.

Ratings and reviews

I've been using this alarm for years and it perfectly fits my needs. I love the option to fade in the sound of the alarm over five minutes, so I always feel like I'm waking up naturally. Only downside is that every time there's a real cardinal flying by now, I immediately reach out to my phone to press snooze... Wouldn't mind a payed version to get rid of the ads, I'd definitely buy it.

Great birds songs but the app EDIT: might make buttons more user friendly. On / Off toggle buttons confusing. To Dismiss an alarm, you first have to click Wake, then Dismiss. Wish : if the beautiful bird song could stay at the same volume level a bit longer it would be much better. The volume increases too quickly by increments. All in all much better than most alarms out there.

Does the job well. Fun to use. some recordings have background noise. it could be improved with better recordings and with more variety. Some bird sounds are incorrectly labeled but that does not detract from the usefulness of the app. To learn bird songs, use a different app.
