Jera
Alarm clock · iPhone · Coming soon
Wake up without the jolt.
Jera starts your alarm almost silent and raises it over up to half an hour, along one of six curves. Full volume always lands at the time you set, never later.
It is built on Apple’s own alarm system, so it rings through Silent mode and Focus and shows up on the Lock Screen. No account, no sleep tracking: your alarms stay on your devices and sync through your own iCloud.

Questions
What is Jera?
Jera is a gentle alarm clock app for iPhone, made by IX Labs. Your alarm starts almost silent and rises over a few minutes, reaching full volume at the time you set.
How does a gradually rising alarm work?
The sound starts before your alarm time and gets louder along a curve, so it reaches full volume exactly when you asked to wake up, never later. You choose how long the rise takes (up to half an hour), how loud it ends, and one of six curve shapes.
Will Jera ring in Silent mode or with a Focus on?
Yes. Jera is built on Apple’s alarm system for apps, so its alarms ring through Silent mode and Focus, like the Clock app, and show on the Lock Screen.
What if I sleep through the gentle part?
Turn on backups for the mornings that matter: follow-up alarms at +10 and +20 minutes, each with its own sound. They’re off by default.
Does Jera track my sleep?
No. Phones and wearables can’t reliably tell which stage of sleep you’re in, so Jera doesn’t try. It wakes you gently at the time you choose, and needs no account: alarms stay on your iPhone and in your own iCloud.
Does Jera work with Apple Watch or headphones?
Yes. For each alarm you choose where it goes off: out loud on your iPhone, as a tap on your Apple Watch, or only in your headphones.
Which devices does Jera support, and when is it available?
Jera needs an iPhone with iOS 26 or later; it isn’t available for iPad, Mac or Android. It is coming soon: join the early-access list for a founding price of $9.99 for life.
