## What is Akaru?

No more setting alarms every night.
Set your rules for days of the week and holidays once. Akaru wakes you at the right time each morning.

For important mornings, use Serious Alarm. You have to walk to stop it: the alarm rings at intervals until you reach your step goal.

--- Does this sound familiar? ---

Checking tomorrow's shift before bed and resetting your alarm.
Changing the time depending on whether you work at the office or at home.
Occasionally forgetting, and oversleeping.

If you wake at different times each day, ordinary alarm apps only offer weekly repeats.
You still have to check every night or keep lots of alarms and switch them on and off.

It's a hassle. Forget, and you're late.

--- Set your rules once. Akaru takes care of the rest ---

“Monday–Friday at 6:30, weekends at 8:00, holidays off.”
Set that once, and each day's alarm is chosen automatically.

Then just open the calendar.
See exactly which days have alarms this month and at what time, displayed as numbers.
Instead of colored dots or badges, you see the actual time: “6:30,” “8:00,” or “OFF.”
Check at a glance, and rest easy.

--- Key features ---

[ Monthly alarm calendar ]
• See each day's alarm time right on the calendar
• Swipe to check the previous or next month
• Holidays are automatically color-coded for easy recognition

[ Set alarms with rules ]
• Set different times for each day of the week in one place
• Automatically turn alarms off on holidays or use a different time
• Rule changes appear in the calendar immediately

[ Walk to wake up with Serious Alarm ]
• Set Serious Alarm for important days by date or day-of-week rule
• Reach your step goal to complete your wake-up mission. As you walk, a dog pulls the sun along and the screen changes from night to morning
• Alarms repeat at intervals until you reach your step goal and complete the mission
• A notification the day before reminds you early that it's time to rest

[ Rings in silent mode ]
• Alarms sound even in silent mode
• Customize snooze intervals and the number of snoozes for regular alarms

--- Made for you ---

• Shift workers with changing wake-up times: nurses, care workers, factory workers and restaurant staff
• Hybrid workers who wake at different times for office and work-from-home days
• Anyone who wants to sleep later on weekends and holidays
• Parents whose drop-off and pick-up times for their children vary by weekday
• Anyone tired of resetting alarms every night
