Talking alarms for iPhone
“It’s 8 o’clock. Time to take your tablets.”
SayAlarm speaks the reason out loud — even when your iPhone is locked, on silent or in Focus. Say your plan once and get a talking alarm for every step.
Coming to the App Store. Free to start · iOS 26+
How it works
Speak or type your morning like you'd tell a friend. SayAlarm turns it into separate alarms, each with a clear spoken message. You check them, then tap once to schedule.

Features
Speak your plan
On-device speech recognition turns natural sentences into alarms — with times like “seven”, “7:15”, “quarter to eight” or “noon”, and days like “tomorrow”, “weekdays” or “every Monday”.
Your words, your voice
Write the exact message, preview it instantly, pick a voice and speed — or record yourself. A parent’s “Boots and water bottle!” lands differently than a beep.
Real iOS alarms
SayAlarm uses Apple’s AlarmKit, so alarms appear on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and break through Silent mode and Focus — even if the app is closed.
Taken, Snooze and Skip buttons, a history of every reminder, and a private mode that never says the pill’s name.
It’s time for your reminder.
Up, kit, bus — a routine a teenager actually follows, because the alarm says what’s next.
Leave now for the bus.
Different days, different times. Set a weekly pattern once and skip the odd day off.
Your shift starts in 30 minutes.
Notifications get ignored. A voice that names the task cuts through and breaks the loop.
Stop scrolling. Start getting ready.

FAQ
The Clock app plays a sound. SayAlarm says why it’s ringing — for example “Time to take your tablets” or “Leave now for the bus” — and can create several alarms from one sentence like “wake me at 7, tablets at 7:15, leave at 7:45”.
Yes. SayAlarm schedules real iOS system alarms using Apple’s AlarmKit, so they ring on the Lock Screen and break through Silent mode and Focus, even when the app is closed.
No. Each spoken message is turned into audio on your iPhone when you save the alarm, so nothing needs to download when it rings.
Yes. Record up to 25 seconds for any alarm, or choose a system voice and speaking speed.
Yes. There’s a medication category with Taken, Snooze and Skip, a history of reminders, and a private mode that only says “It’s time for your reminder.” SayAlarm is a reminder utility and does not give medical advice or dosages.
Free for up to 5 active speaking alarms. A one-time $9.99 lifetime unlock removes the limit and works with Family Sharing. No subscription, no ads.
