## What is Animal Alarm?

Wake up to real animal sounds—gentle, easy to recognize, and harder to “tune out.” Animal Alarm brings system-level alarms, mission anti-snooze, holiday-aware schedules, and a rich sound library into one app, so you get up on time and stay on track.

[Real animal sounds]
• Dogs, birds, cats, farm, and wild—about 54 real animal calls
• Preview and favorite the ones you like, then set them as your alarm

[System-level alarms you can trust]
• Scheduled with system alarm capabilities, so they ring on time even on Lock Screen, silent mode, or in the background
• Snooze (“remind later”) plus a confirm-to-stop step, so you don’t swipe it off by accident
• Mission alarms add an intercept: the ringing truly stops only after you finish the task

[Mission alarms]
• Count Sheep: count sheep until you’re actually awake
• Whack-a-Mole: tap the targets to snap awake
• Adjustable difficulty; reminders keep going during the mission so you can’t “swipe and sleep”
• Don’t pick Hero difficulty!

[Alarm types]
• Every day / workdays / holidays: smart ringing by calendar—skip holidays or ring only on holidays
• Specific dates and multi-dates: exams, trips, events—schedule them in one go
• Shifts: work N / rest M cycles for rotating schedules; optional skip for national holidays
• Event alarms: sunrise, sunset, 24 solar terms, Friday prayer times—computed offline from your location, with optional early ring
• Multi-step and looping countdowns: Pomodoro, tea, workouts, and other staged reminders
• Anniversaries: birthdays, relationship dates, and more, with optional marks

[Calendar and list at a glance]
• Calendar view for ringing today, already passed, and not ringing today
• Toggle a single day on or off when you need a one-off schedule change
• Group the alarm list; mission badges tell regular alarms from task mode

[Themes and look]
• Multiple theme colors and animal atmosphere watermarks—change the look with your mood
• Classic themes (such as paper white / polar-night black) are free; more themes unlock with membership

[Countdown and flip clock]
• In-app flip clock and flip countdown, large and easy to read
• Full-screen countdown; members can use a Picture-in-Picture floating countdown that keeps running when you switch apps

[Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets]
• Large / medium / small Home Screen widgets: upcoming and later alarms at a glance
• Lock Screen “Next alarm” widget: see the next ring without unlocking

[Apple Watch]
• Next alarm, today’s list, quick toggles
• Watch face complications—glance with a raise of the wrist (members)

[Free]
• Basic every-day / workday / holiday alarms
• One animal sound to try in each category
• Classic default themes
• Home Screen and Lock Screen “Next alarm” widgets

[VIP]

### 5/5 — 非常好用，中意

*2026-09-26*

用了几天感觉还挺不错的，早上起床一直用它的动物叫声当闹铃。第一次用鸟叫的时候还有点不习惯，但比普通闹铃没那么单调。设置闹钟也比较简单，选好动物声音和时间就行。希望后面能继续增加更多动物和铃声。
