Next Up is a podcast alarm clock designed to make mornings better. Wake up each morning to a guided meditation, a comedy show, the daily news, or the gentle voice of LeVar Burton reading you a new short story.
Choose any podcasts you’ve downloaded in the native Podcast app, and Next Up will start playing them just when you want.
Repeat alarms on specific days for podcasts that are released on a regular schedule.
Wake up to the newest episodes for timely content like news, sports, or current events. Or discover new podcasts and start from the beginning. Skip episodes you’ve already heard. Change the snooze duration, set the volume, pick the fade in time – Next Up lets you customize every alarm.
When the alarm starts playing, you can snooze it for a few, stop the playback altogether, or seamlessly continue listening in the native Music app while you go about your morning, even with the app in the background.
Simply set your alarms, and open the app before you go to bed. Leave the app open and screen on for best results (double tap the Next Up screen to dim the phone brightness). If the app is in the background, a custom notification sound will play until you engage it (the mute switch and Do Not Disturb mode must be turned off). When the notification is tapped, the app will open and your podcast will start playing.
