About

Klocky

Features
Read full description

Klocky is an alarm clock that does not stop with a simple tap. To silence it, complete a mission you choose—designed to get your mind, body, or voice fully awake. Wake up with intention Choose a positive affirmation or a Bible verse and read it aloud. Make Scripture, reflection, or a meaningful morning practice part of the routine that gets you out of bed. Prefer a different kind of challenge? Klocky includes more than ten ways to prove you are awake. Choose from 10+ wake-up missions: • Read a positive affirmation aloud • Read a selected Bible verse aloud • Match six pairs in a color memory game • Solve math problems • Complete squats, push-ups, or jumping jacks • Walk a set number of steps • Find a household object with the camera • Photograph the open sky or real grass Build an alarm around your morning Set the time, repeat days, alarm sound, mission target, and time limit. Turn on Strict Mode when you want the mission to remain locked until it is completed. Your recent wake-ups and streak help you see the mornings you have won. Designed with privacy in mind Camera-based missions are validated locally on your iPhone, and mission photos are never stored. Microphone, speech recognition, motion, and camera access are requested only when a mission needs them. Whether you want a stronger wake-up challenge, a positive affirmation, a Bible-based morning routine, or a reason to move before touching snooze, Klocky helps you start the day awake and on purpose.
