The short version

ShutEye is a sleep recorder. Alarmify is a music alarm. If the thing you want is a snore timeline in the morning, ShutEye is a real product. If the thing you want is a specific song from Spotify or Apple Music playing when your eyes open, Alarmify is the only app that streams it.

What each app is optimizing for

ShutEye is optimizing for what happens in your sleep. The whole loop is microphone on, log the night, show you a sleep score and a snore timeline the next day. The alarm inside ShutEye is functional but not the point.

Alarmify is optimizing for the first thing you hear. iOS 26 AlarmKit makes the alarm reliable through Focus and silent mode, and Spotify and Apple Music streaming means whatever is in your library can be tomorrow’s alarm. No recordings, no sleep score, just a better morning sound.

If you want both the log and the song, keep ShutEye for the night and let Alarmify be the alarm.

Domande frequenti

Does ShutEye play Spotify or Apple Music as an alarm?
No. ShutEye plays from its own library of ringtones and ambient sounds. Alarmify is the only alarm app with native Spotify and Apple Music streaming, so you can pick any song from the catalog.
Is ShutEye good if I mostly care about the alarm, not the tracking?
Not really. The alarm is a side feature and the wake-up sounds are generic. If the alarm is what you care about, Alarmify is the better fit.
Can I use both apps together?
Yes. Many people run ShutEye to record the night and set Alarmify as the alarm that actually plays music in the morning.
