About

Alarmu

Read full description

Alarmu is the alarm clock that actually wakes you up. The only way to silence it is to complete a fun mini-game mission. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your alarm time and choose a mission 2. Pick your difficulty level (5, 6, or 7) 3. When the alarm fires, a 3-2-1 countdown launches you straight into the mission 4. Complete the mission to silence the alarm 5 WAKE-UP MISSIONS - Drum Pad: Repeat a rhythmic pattern by tapping the right pads - Piano Keys: Listen to a melody and play it back - Word Puzzle: Find a hidden word from a grid of letter tiles - Blow Candles: Blow into your microphone to extinguish candles - Tilt Maze: Tilt your phone to guide a ball through a maze BUILT TO WAKE YOU UP - Burst notifications keep ringing every 10 seconds until you finish - Leave the app or turn off the screen? The mission resets when you come back - No shortcuts โ€” you have to earn your morning YOU SET THE DIFFICULTY Choose difficulty 5, 6, or 7 per alarm. This controls word length, pattern length, maze size, and blow duration. The difficulty stays fixed โ€” no surprise scaling.
