TheNoiseClock

TheNoiseClock is a SwiftUI iOS app that blends a bold, full-screen digital clock with white noise playback and a rich alarm system. It is optimized for iOS 26+ with Swift 6, built on a modular architecture, and styled with the Bedrock design system. Alarms use AlarmKit for reliable wake-up alerts that cut through Focus modes and silent mode.

Description

TheNoiseClock is a distraction-free digital clock with built-in white noise and a fully featured alarm system. Designed for late-night focus, bedside use, and calm environments, it fills the screen with bold, stable digits and lets you tune the look and sound to your space.

Clock

  • Full-screen, orientation-aware clock with optional seconds and AM/PM
  • Fixed-width digits prevent layout "jumping"
  • Auto-fit sizing and manual scale control
  • Custom fonts, weights, and designs with live preview
  • Glow and opacity controls for low-light comfort
  • Clock tab hides the status bar for a distraction-free display
  • Selectable animation styles: None, Spring, Bounce, and Glitch
  • Modern iOS 26 animations: numeric transitions, phase-based bounces, glitch effects, and breathing colons
  • Automatic full-screen: UI fades out after 5 seconds of inactivity, tap to restore
  • Optional mini-controls for alarms and white noise directly on the clock face

White Noise

  • Multiple ambient categories and curated sound packs
  • Seamless looping with background audio support

  • Full-screen in-app alarm screen with Snooze/Stop when active
  • Snooze support via AlarmKit's countdown feature
