## What is Type Alarm?

Type Alarm is the typing-first alarm for heavy sleepers.

You can silence the banner like any alarm—it still comes back until you finish the typing challenges. No Emergency Exit. No ads.

WHY TYPING
The first minutes after you wake, attention and finger control are at their worst (sleep inertia). A swipe barely uses that. Typing a mixed-case line does: you have to read, tap Shift, and finish the phrase. Challenges are built around that research. This is a wake-up alarm, not a medical device, and it does not treat a sleep disorder.

HOW IT WORKS
• Set your wake time like a normal alarm
• When it rings, open Type Alarm and type the phrases
• While you type, re-arm pauses; leave without finishing and the alarm returns
• Practice anytime without waiting for morning

BUILT FOR REAL MORNINGS
• AlarmKit can break through Silent mode and Focus (iOS 26+)
• Longer mixed-case phrases so you can’t dismiss on autopilot
• Clean UI—nothing in the way when you need to get up

FREE TRIAL, THEN PRO
• Full app free for 3 days after install
• Then Type Alarm Pro unlocks ongoing use
• Practice stays available; wake reliability is the product

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-28

Harder to dismiss half-asleep.

Typing is longer and mixed-case, so you have to look at the line and use Shift. Sleep research shows the first minutes after waking are when attention and typing control are weakest (sleep inertia). Mixed-case text takes extra visual attention — you can’t snooze on autopilot.

Also:
• Once alarms now turn off after you type
• Tap anywhere on an alarm card to edit

3-day full trial, then Type Alarm Pro. Practice stays free.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-20

No release notes.
