Alarm uses location and accelerometer data to notify you - if you're already awake and moving - of an upcoming alarm before it happens. You can turn it off, mute it, or snooze it preemptively BEFORE it goes off. Extreme motion (for example, jogging) will automatically turn off the alarm after 30 seconds. Privacy Note: All location and accelerometer data is processed on your device. This app does not share that data with marketers - this app never sends data over the internet. Additional features: - Mute repeating alarms ONCE so you don't have to remember to turn it back on later - Use any mp3 (or other common audio format) file on your phone as your alarm End User License Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
