Where Apple Clock is better
- Already on your phone. Nothing to install or sign up for.
- Part of iOS. Sleep schedule with Health, Sleep Focus, the world clock and timers.
- Free. No ads and nothing to buy.
Where LFG Alarm is better
- Waking more than one person. One alarm, one link, and every phone that joined rings at the same moment: your partner before the 3pm pickup, flatmates on the same 7:00, a whole group before a party.
- Friends who can see if you got up. The wake board shows who got up first, who snoozed and who slept in.
- Moments without a set time. Rocco, LFG's agent, watches the web and rings you when an account posts, a stream goes live, a token hits your number, or your own script calls the alarm's link.
- Every phone and the browser. iPhone, Android and the web, so a shared alarm works whatever phone your people have.
- Still a real iPhone alarm. LFG Alarm's time and event alarms use Apple's own alarm system, so they ring through silent mode and Focus like Clock does.
Which one should you get?
- Use Apple Clock for your own everyday alarms and timers.
- Add LFG Alarm when other people need to wake up or show up with you, or when the moment is online and has no set time.
