Apps that are simple and beautiful rarely need extra bells and whistles, and DoubleTwist’s alarm clock for Android is no exception — it’s one of the nicest we’ve seen, and it also allows you to wake up to your own songs or playlists through the DoubleTwist Player app. It might seem odd that the developer behind the popular music syncing and streaming app is branching out with such a simple piece of software, but we really can’t complain. There are obvious Android 4.0 design cues here, and since it’s compatible with Android 2.2 or above, it’s a nice distraction from earlier UIs. The app comes with analog and mechanical clock styles, and both are pleasing to look at. The functionality is also about as much as we could want from an alarm clock: the app allows for multiple and recurring alarms for weekdays and weekends, custom alarm labels, gradual volume increase, and other standard alarm features. There’s also a nice “sleep cycle” feature that recommends optimal wake up times. If you’re looking for a cheap way to add some elegance to your Android device, now’s your chance — you can grab the app in the Google Play store now for $0.99.
