Wake Up to a Podcast.
Next Up is the first full-featured podcast alarm clock in the App Store. It was designed to help make mornings better.
Try it for yourself for free! New users can wake up to five free podcast alarms. No commitments, no catch.
Choose your morning.
Wake up to a guided meditation, a comedy show, the daily news, or the gentle voice of LeVar Burton reading you a new short story – use any of the more than 750,000 shows available on the Apple Podcasts platform.
Podcasts are automatically imported from the Podcasts app. No need to manage them in more than one place.
News
Meditation
Trivia
Comedy
Stories
Anything.
Tailor every alarm.
Play the most recent episodes first for news and current events, or start from the beginning for serial or stand-alone podcasts you want to catch up on.
Set the volume. Edit the snooze length. Even skip past early ads or long intros.
Wake up, better.
Start your day with the voice of your favorite podcasters. Playback begins automatically and continues in the background without any interaction needed. Use the built-in playback controls in the control center, lock screen, and Music app.
Slick and well-executed […] everything I’d want to see from a podcast alarm clock.

We ALL need this app
Nothing else out there functions like this app. Every morning I am able to listen to a twenty minute Modern Love podcast as my wake up call and start my day off on a productive and positive note. […] The features are so custom tailored and I’m really happy with the thought that went into this.

The app I’ve been wishing for!
I cannot stand the alarm clock on Apple – it is so outdated and just causes me anxiety when I wake up! I have been wishing for app to offer podcast as a wake up alarm, and my dreams have come true! […] This app is so simple to use, and now I can gently wake up listening to motivational podcasts – PERFECT

Will People Wake Up to Podcasts?
Inspiration
A little while back I decided that I wanted to wake up to something less abrasive than alarm sounds and more engaging than music. I considered the radio, but didn’t want to be stuck with one station or show.
So I scoured the web and the App Store looking for a way to wake up to a podcast. I wasn’t satisfied with what I found, so I made it myself. Now I’m hoping others will find it useful as well.
