## What is So Alarmed?

So Alarmed is the alarm for people who sleep through everything.

Most alarm apps are easy to silence without waking up. You reach over, swipe, and you are back asleep before you know what happened. So Alarmed is built so that cannot happen.

RINGS WHEN IT MATTERS
So Alarmed uses the system alarm layer on iOS, so it rings through Silent Mode, through Focus, and at full volume even if your ringer is down. The alarm is not a notification you can swipe away.

YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOU ARE AWAKE
To turn the alarm off you complete a quick wake-up mission. Solve a few math problems, type a phrase, scan a barcode in another room, or take a set number of steps. By the time you finish, you are actually awake, not half awake and heading back to bed.

NO HALF ASLEEP SNOOZING
Snooze is limited and deliberate, not a reflex you can hit ten times. You set the rules while you are awake and thinking clearly, and the alarm holds you to them.

BUILT FOR HEAVY SLEEPERS
If you have missed flights, overslept for work, or set five alarms and still not woken up, this is made for you.

WHAT YOU GET
- An alarm that rings through Silent Mode and Focus
- Wake-up missions: math, typing, steps, and barcode
- A wake screen you can style, with your choice of tone
- Sleep and focus sounds to wind down
- A wake streak so you can see your progress

SUBSCRIPTION
So Alarmed is a subscription. New accounts start with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. After the trial the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you subscribe. As a reference, the annual plan is USD 29.99 per year and the monthly plan is USD 9.99 per month.

### 5/5 — This app is good for heavy sleeper

*2026-08-19*

if you’re a heavy sleeper who constantly sleeps through normal alarms get this now. the silent mode bypass is huge cause i always forget to turn my ringer back on at night. super clean app, no annoying ads, just does what it says.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great support on 5 star rating!

### 5/5 — Finally an alarm I can't ignore

*2026-07-05*

I've set five alarms every morning for years and slept through all of them. This is the first one I physically can't turn off,  it makes you solve math before it'll stop, and by the time I'm done I'm actually awake instead of half-swiping it off. It even rings on silent mode, which is exactly what used to sink me. Three days in and the streak counter is weirdly motivating. Does the one thing I needed it to do.

**Developer response:** Thanks and glad to hear that app is helping out something on people's busy day!
