Pitch Alarm

Tired of alarms you can silence in your sleep? Pitch Alarm makes you actually wake up — because the only way to turn it off is to sing. HOW IT WORKS Every alarm is set to a musical note. When it rings, hold the button and sing that note back. Your voice is checked live against the target pitch on a retro tuner-style display. Nail it, and the alarm stops. Miss it, and it keeps ringing. There's no snooze button to fumble for, no swipe to dismiss half-asleep. You have to open your eyes, find your voice, and hit the note — which means your brain is already awake by the time the room goes quiet. FEATURES • Sing-to-dismiss alarms — the only way off is on pitch • Daily streak tracking — see how many days in a row you've actually gotten up • Live pitch meter with a retro, aluminum hardware-inspired look • Multiple alarms, each with its own target note • Adjustable difficulty to match your vocal range • Clean, distraction-free design built to actually get you up WHO IT'S FOR Heavy sleepers, chronic snoozers, singers and musicians warming up their ear, or anyone who wants a genuinely funny, weirdly effective reason to get out of bed. Download Pitch Alarm and never sleep through your alarm again because your alarm won't stop until you sing.
