A Ukrainian developer has created the Daybezel app — a radial alarm clock for iPhone that will make daily planning more tactile and visual.
The idea for the new interface arose from the inconvenience of the standard iOS solution, which the developer encountered personally.
"I had long been annoyed by the standard alarm list in iOS. I have trouble waking up, so I often set 5–8 of them. And since my work schedule is flexible, over time a huge list accumulated: separate alarms for 9, 10, 11, 12 o'clock, plus several for each hour," shares a Reddit user under the nickname Hopeful_Committee365 (the App Store states that the author of the development is Oleksandr Vovchuk).
What Daybezel offers
Instead of the usual scrolling through a long list of times, Daybezel offers a visual round-the-clock interactive dial.
"I always wanted to see all the alarms before my eyes rather than scrolling through an endless list. So I made a 24-hour dial where you can create alarms with one touch, drag them to change the time, and see how much time is left until the next one," explains the developer.
First successes and moderation in the App Store
According to the developer, the product was built natively using Swift, SwiftUI, and Apple AlarmKit. Moreover, moderation in the mobile store went impressively quickly.
"In the first 24 hours after launch, I already have 1,250 downloads, which I'm very happy about. By the way, if anyone finds the App Review topic relevant — Daybezel passed review in just one day. I see that many people are having problems with this right now, so I guess I got lucky."
Oleksandr Vovchuk assured that for all users who install the app before monetization is introduced, it will remain free forever. The app requires iOS 26.1 or later to work.
