THE #1 OF ITS KIND in the AppStore — reviewed from ground up. A customizable Alarm Clock that talks to you: your weather, your traffic, your calendar, your tasks - and so much more. No reading required. Just relax and listen. Engineered with full VoiceOver and non-visual accessibility for blind, low-vision, and hands-free users, full CarPlay and Siri Support for the rest of us. TalkClok made a great entry 8 years ago, now we rebuilt it with the latest and greatest APIs Apple offer.
Eight years ago, TalkClok started as an indie vision: waking up without screen fatigue, guided by a calm acoustic morning briefing. With zero marketing budget, the app was discovered by the blind community, becoming an essential daily companion for eyes-free morning independence.
Eight years later, we rebuilt TalkClok from the ground up in Swift & SwiftUI — serving as a technological showcase for modern iOS:
• True Accessibility: VoiceOver Audio Harmony with intelligent ducking (never clashes with the screen reader) and non-visual control without drag-and-drop.
• Apple CarPlay: Native dashboard and safe steering wheel controls for hands-free briefings on the road.
• Siri AppIntents: Instant voice launch (“Hey Siri, start TalkClok”) completely eyes-free.
• 100% On-Device: EventKit & MapKit directly on the device, with zero cloud intermediaries or tracking.
TalkClok 2.0 proves how advanced Apple technology fosters genuine inclusion!
