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.
