Your alarm has an off switch. It's 25 metres down the road. Mrning keeps ringing until you're a set distance from your front door. No snooze roulette, no maths puzzles at 6am - just you, your shoes, and the walk that switches it off. HOW IT WORKS 1. Draw a line around home. Mark your house on the map and size a boundary around it - 25 to 150 metres. It's stored on your phone. We never see your address. 2. The alarm rings until you cross it. No snooze, no off switch indoors. A limited "quiet" button pauses the sound for the neighbours - it never disarms the alarm. 3. Cross the line, keep the streak. Silence, a tick, and your streak grows. Miss a morning and it resets - that's the only penalty. No fines, no shaming. WHY IT WORKS • The gym stops being a debate - you're already outside, dressed, and awake. • Real sleep, not snooze sleep - one alarm, one wake, better rest. • A streak you can feel - the scoreboard is simple on purpose: made it, or didn't. • Daylight first thing anchors your body clock. • Neighbour-friendly by design - quiets pause the sound, never the alarm. • Works for any schedule - night shifts, afternoon naps, 4:30 starts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your home coordinates and boundary never leave your phone. Distance checks run on-device. Sign-in is just Apple or Google, so your streak survives a new phone. UP TO FIVE ALARMS Every one boundary-gated. Give any alarm its own boundary for nights away from home. Only alarms before noon count towards the streak. Mrning requires a paid subscription - all features described above are unlocked by subscribing. Plans: £4.99 a month, or £24.99 a year with a 3-day free trial on the annual plan. The subscription is required after onboarding; prices are shown before you pay, and you can cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. One honest caveat: iOS can delay apps and GPS can drift. Don't make Mrning your only alarm for flights or exams. Tomorrow's alarm is set for 06:00. Make it the last one you argue with.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mrning at none against Interval Timer's shown. Interval Timer's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
