Turn your iPhone into a beautifully simple alarm clock radio. Deep dimming keeps your bedroom dark. Flexible alarms fit any schedule, including shift work. Wake or fall asleep to local or worldwide radio, energising or soothing sounds, or your own playlists. One purchase, yours forever.
Bedside Radio is designed to dim and stay visible while you sleep. If it isn’t visible at alarm time, you’ll hear the fallback: a 30-second wake-up sound from a notification. Apple requires apps to be visible to start playing the radio, so for the full experience, please leave the clock visible while you sleep.
• Set a sound for each alarm - Wake to jazz on weekdays, news on weekends, or whatever suits your routine.
• 35,000+ radio stations worldwide - Stream local stations from home or explore new ones from around the world.
• Dims to near zero - Sleep in darkness without losing sight of the time.
• Flexible alarm patterns - Once, daily, specific days, or custom rotations perfect for shift workers.
• Skip next alarm - Wake early or sleep in without changing your schedule.
• One-tap sleep and nap timers - Drift off or recharge easily.
• Gentle wake - Gradually increasing volume helps you start the day smoothly.
• Playlists and sounds - Mix music from your library with built-in or imported sounds, or use downloaded playlists from the Music app. Works with songs you've purchased or imported.
• Personalise your bedside clock - Adjust snooze, brightness, colours, volumes, and add your own radio URLs.
Ideal for your charging stand, turning it into a modern digital clock radio.

Perfect for bedside tables, charging stands, and those who appreciate a modern take on the classic clock radio.
This app works perfectly. I like to wake up to the radio and when my old clock radio died I had a lot of trouble finding a replacement. There are no adds in this app, it is simple to use, does the job perfectly.

Thank you for your review. I wrote Bedside Radio for the same reason—my old clock radio died and I couldn't find a good replacement. I'm glad it's working well for you too.
Tried other apps, this one IS a real alarm clock radio

Fall asleep or wake up with the radio, your music or an alarm, light dimmer, gradual loudness. Just perfect.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for your review. It means a lot that you’ve tried other apps and found this one does what you need. I really appreciate the support.
Kind of works?

Goes off with a basic alarm sound instead of the radio, even if I have it set to radio. It’ll play radio if I click it and open the notification after
Developer Response
Hello, and thanks for your feedback.Please leave the clock display visible while you sleep (like a real clock radio), which prevents the phone from locking. If the phone locks or another app is open, iOS apps cannot start audio playback. In that case, Bedside Radio uses a fallback: it sends a time-sensitive notification and plays a 30-second sound. That's only a fallback, not the intended experience.I’ve updated the website and App Store description to make this clearer. I really appreciate you giving the app a try. If you haven’t already, please consider leaving the clock displayed while you sleep so that the radio alarm works as intended. If you have any further feedback, I’d love to hear it at feedback@offdutyapps.com.au.
