## What is Neuro Alarm?

Neuro Alarm is the alarm clock for people who sleep through everything.

Instead of a snooze button you'll abuse, Neuro Alarm makes you solve a puzzle to turn the alarm off. By the time it's silent, your brain is genuinely awake, no more half-asleep swiping and falling back into bed.

HOW IT WORKS
• Set an alarm like normal.
• When it rings, a puzzle appears.
• Solve it to dismiss. That's the only way off.

TWO WAYS TO WAKE YOUR BRAIN
• Minesweeper - with guaranteed no-guess boards, always solvable with logic, never luck.
• Chess - sharpen your mind with a quick puzzle before your feet hit the floor.
• Pick your mode and your difficulty, from a gentle nudge to a real challenge.

DAILY CHALLENGE
Everyone plays the same board each day. Race the clock as it stacks up against the world.

BATTLE YOUR FRIENDS
Add friends and go head-to-head in friendly battles, same puzzle, same moment, fastest solver wins. Climb the leaderboard and earn morning bragging rights.

MAKE IT YOURS WITH PRO
Unlock premium themes and ringtones to give your mornings a look and sound you'll actually want to wake up to.

Stop sleeping through your alarm. Start waking up on purpose.

### 5/5 — Battle with friends

*2026-09-09*

I love how you can play chess against your friend right when you stop the alarm. This helps me stay focused in the morning as it helps me wane off of tik tok or reels upon wake.
