Selecting content from musical providers like YouTube Music, Spotify, and Pandora as alarm sounds was the top-requested feature for Google's Clock app.    

We all love music, and we all need to get up in the morning. Why not combine the two? Perhaps you subscribe to a music-streaming service or have a large digital music library. Get your money's worth and use that music as your alarm clock.  

I was the lead designer on this project and I also worked across business development & marketing teams to support branding and design assets for Spotify, YouTube and Pandora integration launch.

Impact

Over 85% of DAU(Daily Active Users) use this feature and the Google Clock app provides a pleasant wake up experience. Clock YouTube Music alarm is driving ~100K YouTube watch times in seconds!
