In January last year, Google acquired the team behind Timely — a beautiful alarm clock for Android. Post the acquisitions, the Timely team went completely missing and seemingly abandoned the app as it did not receive a single update over the last one year. 

It looks like the Timely team seems to have woken up from their hibernation though and have released a major new update for the app that adds some much requested features to it. This includes the ability to set your own alarm sound and Google Now integration that will allow you to directly set alarms in Timely by issuing voice commands to Google’s Voice Actions.

The full change log of the update is below:

– Select your own sounds
– Upcoming alarm notification
– Option to ask for the challenge to snooze
– Google Now support for timers and reuses alarms
– Android 5.0 adaptions:
– Colored notifications
– Colored status and action bar
– Colored Overview headers
– support for new alarm API to show the alarm icon
– Numerous fixes for crashes and visual glitches
Timely was among the most popular alarm clock app for android at one point of time, but the lack of updates might have forced many to look for other alternatives. Are you still a Timely user or have you switched to something else?
