## What is Unsnooze?

Struggling to wake up in the morning?

Unsnooze turns your alarm clock into a challenge that you have to complete to wake up.

To turn off your alarm, you’ll need to move, think, or take action.

Unsnooze requires you to complete physical activities, mental challenges, or motivational missions before you can turn off your alarm. It’s a smarter way to wake up and start your day.

Instead of simply tapping snooze, you’ll complete real challenges like:

### 4/5 — Solid alarm

*2026-09-18*

EDIT: I have found that the snooze feature may be prone to bug. Instead of the set timer, the snooze went for a full 30 minutes. Also, it seems that “cheating” the alarm won’t reset the daily streak, so the gamification incentives to wake up are not useful once you find out. I knock down a star, since it is not a deal breaker, and leave the original review below. 

—-

After the developer for my every day alarm abandoned the project, I have been looking for an alternative, and this is hands down the best one I have tested so far. 

It seems accurate and doesn’t rely on notifications as a workaround to make the alarm persistent. Also, the challenges are varied and effective, although I haven’t tried the accuracy of all of if they can be easily cheated (specifically those that rely on sensors or the gyroscope)

Just a few minor things I’d like to see in upcoming releases:

1. For the statement challenge, separate the written responses from the spoken. Just to avoid unnecessary permissions to the mic or speech, when only typing is intended

2. Add the ability to set some sort of timer between chained challenges. I want to have maybe a “light” challenge to snooze, before actually stand up to chase barcodes and things 

3. For the barcode challenge (my favorite) the ability to set a specific code to stop the alarm, instead of just a random one

All in all a very solid app, and have helped me a lot for my morning routine. Thanks a lot to the developer!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for!

*2026-04-27*

This is exactly what I’m looking for. 

It’s well done and makes waking in the morning, so much more interesting.

### 5/5 — Love the ease to use. Keeps me motivated

*2026-04-08*

The concept behind the alarm reminder is awesome. Simple challenges to keep me motivated. Simple onboarding and easy to set up reminders. Lots of custom features to keep me coming back. Definitely my first morning app
