Is there a sleep tracker without a subscription?
Most popular sleep apps follow the same playbook: an account, a paywall after a short trial, a monthly or yearly subscription, and ads or upsells in between. If you just want a reliable alarm and an honest sleep log, you can get that without paying monthly.
How Larm's model works
| Larm (free) | Larm Pro (one-time) | Typical subscription sleep app | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | Single lifetime purchase (~$4.99) | $30–80 / year, forever |
| Account required | No | No | Usually yes |
| Works offline | Yes — fully | Yes — fully | Often partially |
| Ads | None | None | Common on free tiers |
| Alarm through Silent/Focus | Yes (AlarmKit, iOS 26) | Yes | Varies; often notification-based |
| Sleep data | Time-in-bed log + 7-day stats | + 30-day stats, averages, streak | Sensor "sleep phases" (of debated accuracy) |
| Fall-asleep sounds | 1 free noise + previews | 7 real recorded nature loops | Large libraries, behind the subscription |
What Larm honestly doesn't do
- No sleep-phase claims. No microphone listening, no motion sensing — you log time in bed yourself. If you want sensor-based phase graphs, Larm is not that app.
- No Apple Watch app, no HealthKit sync (considered for a future version).
- Requires iOS 26+ — the reliable alarm is built on Apple's AlarmKit framework.
