Looking for recommendations for a sleep app on iOS, I used one on android quite some time back but looking to get good suggestions from people here using some actively.

Specifically would like something that can wake you up at the best time by tracking your sleep cycle time and whatnot. Hopefully not needing a watch of any kind as well.

    I realize you don’t want a watch, and I empathize as I resisted for years. Sleep and exercise were the two reasons I changed my mind and it’s been worth it.

    Autosleep and AutoWake

    Read more about the apps here, but Autosleep works impressively well at gauging your sleep.

      Oddly enough the reviews for autowake are horrible but autosleep is universally praised. Also seems autosleep includes some sort of alarm anyway.

      Would for sure prefer not to go the watch route but this looks like the only premium one time purchase app and maybe I’ll end up enjoying it. Will see how often watches go on sale Thanks!

      Honestly I find that the plain old health app does a fine job tracking sleep compared to AutoSleep but my wife uses that as gospel. I don’t like the discrepancy between the two personally and just go with what the health app says. I do like AutoSleep visualizations though.

      I resisted the watch for a long time too and got my first in may and can’t believe I held out so long.
