Rouse: Custom Sound Alarm
Wake Up to Your Own Audio
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rouse lets you wake up to your own audio.
Import an audio file, choose the section you want, save it as a reusable alarm sound, and schedule your alarm using Apple’s system-managed alarms with AlarmKit.
CUSTOM SOUNDS
Import supported audio files and create the clip you want to use.
CROP YOUR AUDIO
Choose the part of a recording you want and preview it before saving.
REAL SYSTEM ALARMS
Rouse uses Apple’s AlarmKit framework for scheduled alarm delivery, so the app does not need to remain open.
BUILD YOUR SOUND LIBRARY
Keep reusable sounds on your iPhone and use them across alarms.
PLAYLISTS
Lifetime Access unlocks named playlists and expanded sound organisation.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your alarm schedules and imported audio stay on this iPhone. Rouse does not upload your audio to a developer-operated server.
NO ACCOUNT
No account or sign-in is required.
NO SUBSCRIPTION
Rouse has no recurring subscription.
FREE VERSION
The free version includes one alarm and one imported sound or crop.
LIFETIME ACCESS
One purchase unlocks unlimited alarms, unlimited imported sounds, the full sound library, and named playlists. No recurring fee.
ALARM BEHAVIOUR
Alarm delivery and custom audio behaviour depend on iOS, AlarmKit, device permissions, and system behaviour. Rouse does not promise that every imported recording will play in full or loop indefinitely. Use the built-in test flow to check your selected sound on your iPhone.
Import only audio you own or are licensed to use.
CLOCK COLLECTIONS
Try a themed bedside clock before you buy. The Halloween Collection adds pumpkins, a friendly ghost, gently moving artwork, a matching clock widget, a StandBy bedside session and a pumpkin app icon. Motion can be paused and respects Reduce Motion. Each collection is a separate optional one-time purchase; Lifetime Access for alarms and sounds is unchanged.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Give Rouse a look to match your clock. Classic, Halloween, Día de Muertos, Diwali and Pride now bring coordinated colours to app screens and the bedside clock, with a matching in-app mark. Día de Muertos, Diwali and Pride are included with Lifetime Access; Halloween is a separate collection. Your Home Screen app icon remains your choice.
