## What is GAVEL Alarm?

GAVEL is the alarm for people who are done negotiating with the snooze button.

At your wake time, a wooden gavel strikes — then a narrated line of hard-won wisdom
plays in the voice you chose, and it grows more insistent until you stand up and tap
I'M UP. There is no snooze. There was never going to be.

Built on Apple's alarm system, GAVEL breaks through Silent mode and Focus, exactly
like the built-in Clock — so it actually wakes you, not your notifications.

WISDOM WORTH WAKING TO
Nearly 500 quotes drawn from the public domain — Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Shakespeare,
Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain, and modern voices like FDR, JFK, and Theodore Roosevelt.
Real people. Real attributions. Not fortune-cookie filler.

CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS
- Stillness — calm, present, unhurried (Tao Te Ching, Gibran, Thoreau, the Psalms)
- Courage — endure and dare
- Wisdom — reflect and understand
- Purpose — direction and meaning
- Wit — dry, sharp lines from the golden age of American humor
Or let Any Focus surprise you each morning.

CHOOSE YOUR VOICE
Five narrators, each with its own weight:
- Still Voice — calm, unhurried, serene
- Iron Resolve — strong, commanding
- Calm Mentor — calm, reassuring
- Classic Statesman — firm, timeless
- Morning Coach — energetic, uplifting

MADE TO GET YOU UP
- No snooze. Ever.
- Rising urgency until you're actually up
- Standard or Extended quote length
