Alam

Alam (/ˈalam/) is Indonesian and means 'the natural world'.

It's an alarm clock app for iOS I built because I didn't like the aggressive alarm sounds of the native alarm clock offers.

In iOS 26, Apple introduced AlarmKit, a framework that allows developers to schedule prominent alarms just like the native clock. I used this as an opportunity to build what I always wanted.

At first my partner was a bit skeptical that this would work, but after a while she told me that she prefers us to wake up to peaceful nature soundscapes instead of whatever the idea behind the default alarms are.

It's a very simple app and honestly wouldn't be necessary if iOS allowed me to use custom alarm sounds.

Anyway, I submitted it to the App Store and am currently waiting on Apple's approval.
