AERIS is a gentle wake-up alarm that never starts with a jolt. Instead of blasting at full volume, every alarm fades in softly from near-silence over about a minute, using real nature sound recordings — rain, wind through a forest, birdsong, a quiet storm, or falling snow. In Automatic mode, AERIS checks the weather where you are (powered by Apple Weather) and picks the sound that matches — so a rainy morning sounds like rain, and a clear one sounds like birds. Prefer something fixed? Pick any sound yourself, including a manual-only "Urban Morning" soundscape. Set as many alarms as you like, each with its own time, repeat days (or none, for a one-time alarm), and an optional name like "Zoom Meeting" so you always know what you're waking up for. AERIS is completely free, with no ads, no account, and no data collected beyond what's needed to fetch the weather — nothing ever leaves your device. Features: • Gentle volume fade-in, not a sudden blast • Real nature sound recordings, not synthesized loops • Automatic weather-matched sound (Apple WeatherKit) • Manual sound selection for a fixed mood • Multiple alarms, each with independent repeat days • Optional custom name per alarm • Works even when the app is closed • No account, no ads, no in-app purchases
