An alarm you can't sleep through, and a wake-up schedule you can't forget to set. Alarm Hero fixes the biggest problems with wake-up alarms, so getting up on time stops being something you worry about. ● INSTEAD OF TURNING IT OFF AND FALLING BACK ASLEEP, PROVE YOU'RE AWAKE To stop your alarm, complete a challenge, like playing a quick game or getting up to scan a code in another room. ● INSTEAD OF ONE FIXED CHALLENGE, BUILD A PLAN Decide how many rounds it takes to turn the alarm off. Repeat the same challenge every round, choose a different one for each round, or let the alarm pick at random. ● INSTEAD OF SNOOZING AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL YOU'RE LATE, SET A LIMIT Choose how many snoozes you get, and after you've used them up, the alarm keeps ringing until you complete your challenge. ● INSTEAD OF FORGETTING TO SET YOUR ALARM, LET IT SET ITSELF Your wake-up alarm updates automatically to match your schedule, whether that's the same time every day, weekdays and weekends apart, a class schedule that changes by the day, or varying shifts. Anything is possible. ● INSTEAD OF SLEEPING THROUGH THE ALARM SOUND, WAKE TO A RISING VOLUME The volume starts gentle and keeps climbing until you're up, with a super loud mode for heavy sleepers. Choose from a library of built-in alarm sounds, or bring your own. ● EVEN MORE • Let your calendar set your alarms, so they move whenever your events do • Get a reminder before you go to sleep of what time you'll wake up • See all of your upcoming alarms for the days ahead in one place • Set timers, countdowns, and everyday alarms for the rest of your day • Pause an alarm for a day off instead of deleting it • Look back at when you woke up, snoozed, or skipped • Check your next wake-up time on the Lock Screen • Skip your alarm when you're already up and moving • Make your alarm vibrate only, so you don't wake anyone else • Works all night without draining your battery Set your wake-up schedule tonight and start getting up on time every day. Alarm Hero is free to try, and you never have to pay for your alarm to ring. Premium unlocks unlimited alarms, every challenge and the plans that combine them, the full sound library plus your own imports, unlimited calendars, and a full history of every alarm.

NoNap is the alarm you can't snooze. One alarm, one wake-up mission, and your day starts. A stack of alarms trains your brain to ignore all of them. NoNap gives you one, at the time you actually meant, and it only stops when you have proved you are up. PICK WHAT GETS YOU UP Push-ups, squats, a dance, a shake, a maths problem, a photo of your made bed, or an object you have to find and show the camera. Missions are checked on the device, so there is no faking it, and you can change the mission any morning your brain learns to game the last one. NO SNOOZE. NO LOCK-SCREEN ESCAPE. NoNap uses the system alarm, the same one the Clock app uses, so it rings through silent mode and Focus. Finishing the mission is the only way out. KNOW YOUR REAL WAKE-UP TIME Streaks, badges and charts show the gap between the time you set and the time you actually got up. A NUDGE THE NIGHT BEFORE The morning is decided at bedtime. NoNap reminds you to wind down while it still makes a difference. SET IT IN TWENTY SECONDS Time, repeat days, mission, sound. That is the whole setup. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. Your alarms, wake-up history, camera frames and location never leave your phone. The camera never records. To help us fix problems, NoNap sends anonymous usage statistics and crash reports that never identify you. You can switch them off in Settings. NoNap Premium unlocks the app with a weekly, monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings. Previous purchases can be restored from the paywall or from Settings. Privacy policy: https://www.nonap.app/privacy Terms of use: https://www.nonap.app/terms
