Velya
Wake up, guaranteed
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your server decides when you get up. Velya follows — and always tells you why.
Velya is the alarm that actually wakes you.
Built on Apple's iOS 26 AlarmKit, Velya rings through Silent mode, Do Not Disturb, and every Focus — so the one alarm you can't afford to miss always breaks through.
RELIABLE BY DESIGN
• Alarms fire even on silent, in Focus, or in Low Power Mode.
• No account, no sign-in. Velya works the moment you open it.
SMART WAKE
• Optionally read Apple Health sleep data to wake you at your lightest sleep within a window, so mornings feel softer.
• See your sleep history — duration, consistency, and phases — at a glance.
AUTOMATIONS
• Build rules from conditions you choose (time, steps, charger, location, Home Assistant sensors) to turn alarms on or off automatically.
• "Stop ringing once I'm up" — a one-tap rule that turns the alarm off when you start moving.
OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL (advanced, self-hosted)
• Power users can connect Velya to their own server to set alarms remotely. Entirely optional — Velya is fully featured without it, and there is no LorisLabs account or backend.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
• Sleep data is read on-device and never leaves your device.
• No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Data Not Collected.

Your alarm can now follow a time decided somewhere else.
THE TIME COMES FROM YOUR SERVER
A rule reads the wake time your home automation publishes — school timetable, sunrise, public holidays — and the alarm follows it. If the answer is missing or unreadable your alarm doesn't move: a wake time is never guessed.
YOU CAN SEE WHY
Under the clock, a sentence says who set this time and when. The card's unreadable icons are replaced by what your morning will actually do, in words.
THE WEEK AHEAD
The next seven mornings, each with its expected time and the reason. A time that can still change is marked ≈ — a forecast is not a promise.
YOUR RULES, AT LAST VISIBLE
See them, test them, delete them, and apply them right away.
IMPORTANT FIXES
• An alarm switched off from the Watch or another synced device could still ring. Fixed.
• "No wake today" no longer cancels every following day.
• Every alarm switch-off is now recorded, so a missed wake can always be explained.
• Widget countdowns past 24 hours now read properly.
