Both are clean, modern, focused. Different platforms, same sensibility.

The short version
Google Clock is Android only. Alarmify is the iOS alternative. If you moved from a Pixel and miss waking up to Spotify the way Google Clock did it, Alarmify is the app to install. Same core idea, on iOS, with Apple Music streaming on top.
Why there is no Google Clock on iPhone
Google has never shipped a Clock app for iOS. The alarm experience on Pixel, including the Spotify alarm integration, is built into Android through Google’s system clock app and the Digital Wellbeing stack. None of that ships to iPhone.
On iOS, the default Clock app plays built-in ringtones or your local Apple Music library. It does not stream Spotify. It does not fade in a full song from the catalog. That is the gap Alarmify fills.
What Alarmify does that feels like Google Clock
- Pick any Spotify song, album, or playlist as the alarm. Exactly the mental model of Google Clock’s Spotify alarm, done natively on iOS.
- Apple Music support in addition to Spotify. Something Google Clock cannot do on any platform.
- Gradual fade-in. Your chosen track ramps up from quiet to loud instead of slamming on at full volume.
- iOS 26 AlarmKit reliability. The alarm fires through Focus, Do Not Disturb, and silent mode.
Coming from Android
If you recently switched to iPhone and your old alarm routine used Google Clock with a Spotify song, your migration is basically:
- Install Alarmify from the App Store.
- Connect your Spotify account.
- Pick the same song you used to wake up to.
- Set the time. Done.
For people who were used to the Google Clock plus Spotify combo on Android, this is the closest iOS equivalent by a wide margin.
Price
Google Clock is free on Android because it is a Google system app. Alarmify has a usable free tier with one alarm and 30-second clips, and Alarmify+ at $49.99 a year unlocks unlimited alarms, full-song Smart Wake streaming, and removes ads.
If the Spotify alarm from Google Clock is what you want back, Alarmify is the only app on iOS that does it.
