Exactly what you need: a background noise application that allows you to combine different sounds and control the volume of each one. Thunder, rain, wind and more are at your disposal for any reason.

As good as waking up naturally from a light sleep period is, this style just doesn’t fit for some of us. Alarmy gets you out of bed with loud noises and “missions” that I do you get up and do something to turn off the alarm. Thanks for … we think.
