## What is Blare?

Blare is the puzzle alarm clock that won't let heavy sleepers oversleep.

Blare Pro subscription required. Features described below require a separate auto-renewable in-app purchase; pricing and any free trial are shown before purchase.

Built for people who sleep through every alarm, Blare combines extremely loud wake-up sounds with brain puzzles — math problems, pattern memory, and visual challenges — that you must solve before you can dismiss or snooze.

No more sleeping through your alarm. No more accidental snoozes.

SOUNDS THAT MEAN BUSINESS
Choose from nine built-in alarm tones designed to cut through deep sleep. Import your own custom sounds from the Files app for a personalized wake-up alarm.

CHALLENGES TO PROVE YOU'RE AWAKE
Configure math problems, pattern memory sequences, or visual puzzles as your dismissal gate. Challenges must be completed before you can dismiss or snooze — ensuring you're actually awake, not just reaching for the snooze button in your sleep.

BUILT FOR YOUR SCHEDULE
Create up to three system-level alarms with per-day scheduling, custom repeat patterns, individual sound assignments, and configurable challenge difficulty.

PREMIUM DESIGN
Crafted with Apple's Liquid Glass design language, Blare features a dark premium aesthetic with a clock-first home screen, smooth spring animations, and a next-alarm countdown.

KEY FEATURES
- 9 built-in alarm tones
- Custom sound import from Files
- 3 challenge types: Math, Pattern Memory, Visual Puzzle
- 3 difficulty levels per challenge type
- Per-day-of-week scheduling with presets
