ONE Alarm

Nice idea, but I wanted to be able to set MULTIPLE alarms using my voice. So this is about as useful as a screen door in a submarine.

Is it easy to actually set an alarm?

First test. Will review again
But should be a + one the home-screen. And you should be able to see the set on home screen. But cool concept.

Not so happy

I found the description so personal and thought through and downloaded it, but it’s not as practical as I thought. I was hoping to be able to set a few different alarms but there is only one.
Also my phones settings are on dark to protect my eyes but that way I can’t see the writing that I’m giving to the voice recording. It’s very basic everything.

Doesn’t work

Alarm doesn’t work unless it’s open which makes it useless

Barebones, but does the job (and nothing else does!)

Sure, this is a basic app with UI that is a little rough, but I've spent an embarrassing and frustrating amount of time trying to figure out how to implement voice recordings as daily wake up alarms. It's absolutely shameful that iOS doesn't have this feature natively (not via clock, shortcuts, routines etc), and the other apps I've found launch a notification instead of an alarm, or require a monthly subscription. This app simply let's you record a message , and then it plays at the designated time. Thank you for making this app! Really helps me in my life! You made the world a better place.

FAQ

What makes this alarm app different from others?

This alarm app allows you to wake up to your own custom recordings stored in a library, unlike other apps that may only support one custom sound. It also features a unique snooze/stop control system designed to prevent accidental deactivation and includes progressive volume adjustment to ensure you wake up.

How does the snooze and stop functionality work?

The entire screen acts as an easy-to-press snooze button, while the stop button requires a two-step process to prevent accidental presses when you're groggy. This design aims to make it harder to turn off the alarm before you're fully awake.

Can I adjust the alarm volume if it's too quiet?

Yes, the app offers progressive volume. It includes a volume test button on the main screen and an option to increase the alarm volume every minute. This helps compensate for varying recording volumes and background noise levels.

Is this app compatible with my device?

The app is designed for mobile devices. It automatically operates in 24-hour mode if your device is set to that time format. However, for full functionality of snooze and stop controls when the alarm goes off, the device should remain unlocked and the app open.

What are the main use cases for this app?

The primary use case is to provide a more effective and personalized wake-up experience. It's ideal for users who want to wake up to their own voice recordings, need a more robust snooze/stop mechanism, or require an alarm that gradually increases in volume.
