## What is GetAlive?

The moment your alarm rings, a sentence worth waking up for arrives with it.

MotiveAlarm doesn't just wake you — it gives you a reason. Aphorisms from Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Baltasar Gracián, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius open your morning alongside the alarm.

■ Made for you if
• You try morning routines but never make it past day three
• Your first thought on waking is "why even get up"
• You keep a quotes app and an alarm app separately

■ Features
• Alarms paired with philosopher quotes — reliable even on the lock screen or with the silent switch on
• Weekday repeat alarms — automatically re-arm on the days you choose
• Daily Saying — a new aphorism every day, original English with translation
• Save & revisit — keep the lines that stayed with you
• Home screen widget — today's saying, every time you glance at your phone

■ Remove Ads
One purchase. All ads gone, forever.

Start tomorrow differently. A philosopher is waiting.

### 2/5 — 기상시간 설정을 매일 자동 반복될 수 있게끔 해야 유용할 거 같아요….

*2024-07-30, version 2.10.0*

매일 저녁에 알람 설정하는 건 너무 성가셔서 못 해먹겠어요. 이거만 개선되어도 쓸만할 거 같은데요. 또한 따라쓰기나 따라읽기 등의 미션도 있으면 더 유용해지겠네요. 앱 제목은 좋은데 너어어어무 기능이 없습니다….

### 3/5 — 다 좋은데 광고 텀이 너무 짧아서 뭐 텍스트 설정하다가 몇번을 보는건지.. 게다가 광고 너무 길어요

*2024-02-07, version 2.6.0*

광고환경 개선 좀 요청합니다

### 5/5 — 긍정암시를 꾸준히 실천할수 있어서 너무 좋아요

*2023-06-08, version 2.0*

최고

### 1/5 — 개발자님 보세요

*2023-04-11, version 1.6*

아이 둘 키우거나 말거나 사람들 쓰라고
앱을 만드셨으면 편리하게 사용하라고 만든 거 아닌가요
맞는 말 하는 사람들한테 답글로 비꼬아서 답이나하시고..ㅋㅋ 사람들 쓰라고 공개적으로 앱을 내셨으면
책임을 지시고 하셔야죠.. 어떻게 하는지도 모르겠고
광고만 계속 나와서 짜증이나네요
광고는 ok인데 뭐어떻게 사용하는지 그런게 없어서말이죠
그냥.삭제합니다

### 5/5 — 수면 기록

*2023-04-11, version 1.6*

수면 기록 보려고 깐 건데ㅜ 수면 기록을 어디서 보는 지 모르겠네요ㅜ

### 1/5 — .

*2023-04-05, version 1.5*

아니 수면 버튼이 없는데요 ㅜ.ㅜ

### 3/5 — 어떻게 하느널까여 ..?

*2023-03-21, version 1.5*

저는 수면이라는 거 자체가 안뜨네요 …?

### 1/5 — 아이폰8에서는 가장 아래 있는 버튼이 안 보입니다

*2023-03-04, version 1.5*

문구 설정하고 시간 설정도 하고 알람 추가하려니까 가장 아래 있는 빨간 버튼이 짤려서 안 보입니다. 기종은 아이폰8입니다

### 5/5 — 오~

*2023-02-13, version 1.5*

개발자님 감사합니다~찾고 있던 기능인데👍

### 1/5 — 설명이 필요 없는 직관적인 인터페이스 지양?

*2023-01-31, version 1.4*

설명서가 필요 없는 직관적인 인터페이스와
내일 아침 내가 무슨 소리를 듣고 깰지,
음량도 알 수 없고 무음으로 해도 울리는지도
모르고 텍스트 수정같은 간단한 기능조차 없어서
사용하기 불편한 것을 이용자의 직관적인 인터페이스라 포장하는 건 좀 ㅋㅋ 피드백을 수용하신다면
조금 더 유용하고 많은 사람들에게 사랑받는 앱이
되지 않을까요? 불편하고 불친절하다는 피드백에
”응 그거 노린 거야~“식으로 접근한다면
인터페이스의 불친절함+개발자의 불친절이
되는 게 아닌가 싶습니다.
