Alarmy: Sleep If You Can

I love sleep. I am a heavy sleeper. The longest I have ever slept without waking up is 19 hours. I believe that is enough to prove that I am a sleep-aholic. In this article, I will be introducing an alarm application that is or was the #1 alarm application in 97 countries. Say hi to Alarmy.

Alarmy’s slogan is “sleep if you can”. This slogan seemed very threatening but doubtful at the same time because, over the course of the years, I became a master of turning off alarms. However, after using the application for a week, I learned that Alarmy was dead serious with their slogan. I can never go back to sleep once that annoying alarm goes off.

Why do many of us fail to wake up as soon as the alarm rings? I personally think it’s because we can turn our alarm off within our reach without getting out from the cozy bed. Alarmy addresses this issue in the best way possible. For every alarm, users have to set a mission and those missions include shaking the phone, solving math problems, taking a picture or barcode/QR-code, and playing a memory game.

For the shake mission, the user has to shake the phone for a certain number of times to dismiss the alarm. Users may choose any number between 5 and 160 for the number of times to shake their phone. The math problem mission requires the user to solve math questions to turn off the alarm. Available levels are super easy, very easy, easy, normal, hard and very hard. Users may choose how many questions they want to be asked. The “take a picture” mission is a mission where the user sets an image and the alarm only goes off if the person takes a picture of the image they set. Setting a picture of something far away from your bed really makes this mission effective. The barcode/QR-code mission requires users to scan the barcodes/QR-codes that they set for their alarm. Lastly, the memory game is a game where the user has to memorize the 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6 or 7×7 tile pattern and click on the tiles.

Personally, I love the math problem mission because it forces me to work my brain to turn off the alarm. I say with confidence that this alarm is a revolutionary one that will make you get out of your bed no matter how tired you are. Alarmy is available on App Store for iPhones and Google Play for Androids. Sleep if you can with Alarmy.
