The short version
AutoSleep is a Watch tracker, not an alarm app. Alarmify is a music alarm, not a tracker. If you already live on Apple Watch and want the cleanest passive sleep log on iOS, AutoSleep is the right tool. If you want to open your eyes to a song you love streaming from Spotify or Apple Music, Alarmify is the only app that does it natively.
What each app is optimizing for
AutoSleep is optimizing for how accurately it logs the night. Its entire reputation is built on passive Watch tracking, rich Apple Health writeback, and the kind of granular charts that Apple’s own Sleep app still does not match. The “alarm” is a haptic nudge on your wrist, not a produced wake-up experience.
Alarmify is optimizing for the first thing you hear. iOS 26 AlarmKit makes the alarm reliable through Focus and silent mode, and native Spotify and Apple Music integration means the catalog you wake up to is the same one you listen to all day. No other alarm app streams arbitrary tracks like this.
The two apps barely overlap. If you want both, run AutoSleep on your Watch and Alarmify as the alarm. That is the combination most Watch users end up at.
