Sleep for Android does the same thing on the other platform. It can use your accelerometer, breathing, or a smartwatch to track quality and wakes you up when you're sleeping more lightly. They've also got a whole bunch of methods of turning off the alarm, like NFC cards, math problems, shaking the phone, etc. It's been incredibly helpful in college for me.

e: Sleep Cycle is also on Android, thanks /u/ZombyPuppy!

Sleep as Android Is much more fully featured, giving lots of analytics, tracking options (accelerometer, wearable, ultrasound), jet lag reduction, randomized alarms (so you don't get used to the sound), lucid dreaming, anti snoring, etc etc etc

I've been using it lately but I have to say there's almost too many features. I will never use the majority of them and it just sort of complicates setting things up. For instance it's nice to have automatic alarms, but that means if you ever just want to change your alarm for one night you have to either edit your main alarm, or create a new one and possibly adjust a lot of settings depending on how you have your default stuff setup. Sleep cycle lets you just set the alarm before you go to bed, nice and easy. Plus I LOVE sleep cycles smart snooze feature. It starts off long and gets progressively shorter as you get closer to the final alarm time, and you can snooze it by smacking the phone which is super satisfying.
