very helpful!

i used to have my alarm on my dresser, so i had to get out of bed to turn it off, but i always turned around and get back in. but with my new app, i set the barcode to fruit in my fridge, which is on another floor and it helps me to not get back into my bed! there’s also an alternate way to turn off the alarm and it makes you type in this like 12 digit code while the background flashes red and white and the numbers move around, it also works pretty well. i’m not married, but it also has a “don’t wake spouse” button which allows you to silence the alarm for a few seconds as you leave the room i think! i would recommend this app!

Too easy to override

I initially liked this app. I had a weekday alarm and a weekend alarm (different times). However, although the override is slightly annoying, I soon pretty much remembered the barcode number to be able to type it in easily and turn off the alarm whilst still half-asleep in bed, instead of going downstairs to scan the barcode. Unfortunately I found the override too easy and you cannot turn this off on the free version.

Object scan

My only thing is, I want to be able to have it shuffle through things that stay in the bathroom, and downstairs and it randomly instead of it being the same object over and over. overall, it’s a really good app and you do not need to pay..

How do you scan a barcode

You must first scan a barcode to even set the alarm. I can't figure out how to open the camera in app to scan one and the app offers no assistance

Stop with early feedback

It is stupid to request feedback before the app has had chance to be properly used. Feedback should only be requested after a few uses at the very least.

FAQ

What does the Barcode Alarm Clock app do?

This app is designed to be a loud and effective alarm clock for heavy sleepers. It uses a unique barcode scanning feature to ensure users get out of bed to turn off the alarm, preventing them from snoozing or ignoring it.

How does the barcode scan feature work?

To disable the alarm, you must scan the barcode of a predetermined item, such as your toothpaste. This action forces you to physically get out of bed and interact with an object, making it much harder to fall back asleep.

Is this app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it does offer in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or customization options beyond the core functionality.

What kind of alarms does it offer?

It features procedurally generated and unpredictable ringtones that are designed to be blaringly loud, preventing auditory adaptation. You can also mix these with your own music. The app supports multiple and repeating alarms, with a lock feature to make them impossible to cancel or mute.

Who is this app best suited for?

This app is ideal for individuals who are heavy sleepers, frequently oversleep, or struggle with waking up on time. It's also useful for those who need a highly disruptive alarm to ensure they start their day promptly.
