About the App: Bedside Radio

The Bedside Radio app turns your phone into a beautifully simple alarm clock radio. Deep dimming keeps your bedroom dark. Flexible alarms fit any schedule, including shift work. Wake or fall asleep to local or worldwide radio, energising or soothing sounds, or your own playlists. One purchase, yours forever.

  • Set a sound for each alarm - Wake to jazz on weekdays, news on weekends, or whatever suits your routine.
  • 40,000+ radio stations worldwide - Stream local stations from home or explore new ones from around the world.
  • Dims to near zero - Sleep in darkness without losing sight of the time.
  • Flexible alarm patterns - Once, daily, specific days, or custom rotations perfect for shift workers.
  • Skip next alarm - Wake early or sleep in without changing your schedule.
  • One-tap sleep and nap timers - Drift off or recharge easily.
  • Gentle wake - Gradually increasing volume helps you start the day smoothly.
  • Playlists and sounds - Mix music from your library with built-in or imported sounds, or use offline playlists from the Music app.
  • Personalise your bedside clock - Adjust snooze, brightness, colours, volumes, and add your own radio URLs.

Ideal for your charging stand, turning it into a modern digital clock radio.

Bedside Radio is designed to dim and stay visible while you sleep. If it isnโ€™t visible at alarm time, youโ€™ll hear the fallback: a 30-second wake-up sound from a notification. Apple requires apps to be visible to start playing the radio, so for the full experience, please leave the clock visible while you sleep.

The app supports multiple languages and variants: English (Australia, Canada, United States and United Kingdom), French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), and Spanish (Latin America and Spain).

Perfect for bedside tables, charging stands, and those who appreciate a modern take on the classic clock radio.

About Me: The Story Behind Bedside Radio

Iโ€™ve always enjoyed having a clock radio by my bed. It helps me fall asleep, wake up, and have something to listen to during the night. When my old clock radio stopped working, I thought: since my phone already charges by my bed, why not turn it into a clock radio? The main issue with my old clock radio was its brightness, so I made sure this app solves that with deep dimming. I like a dark bedroom. My partner is an emergency-services first-responder, so I wanted to make sure the alarms could support shift rosters, like 2 days / 2 nights / 4 off.

Iโ€™m pretty happy with Bedside Radio. I hope you like it too. Please let me know how I could make it better. Contact me.
