AlarmCroc is the alarm clock for people who struggle to wake up in the morning. You set the alarm and pick a wake-up mission. When it rings, the alarm doesn’t go away until the mission is done, so you have to get up and move, think, or speak before your morning starts for real. AlarmCroc is built for heavy snoozers, slow risers, and anyone tired of “five more minutes” turning into an hour. How AlarmCroc works: 1. Set your alarm and choose a wake-up mission before bed 2. When the alarm rings, complete the task in the app 3. The alarm stops only when the mission is finished No half-asleep dismiss. No easy escape. Wake-up missions: - Solve math problems - Do pushups - Take a photo of the sky - Make your bed - Hunt for a random object - Read a Bible verse aloud - Say an affirmation aloud Why people use AlarmCroc: - Break the snooze loop for good - Wake up with action, not willpower - Build a morning routine that actually sticks - Turn “getting out of bed” into a daily win - Stay accountable when mornings are hardest More than a basic alarm: - Real iOS alarms — powered by AlarmKit, so alarms show on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Mission-based wake-ups — the alarm keeps going until you finish - App Block — block distracting apps (and even app deletion) until your mission is complete - Streaks & badges — track consistency and earn achievements over time - Morning insights — see wake times, time-to-rise, sleep trends, and morning memories from photo missions - Alarm Log — compare what’s in the app with what iOS has scheduled, so nothing slips through the cracks - Home Screen widgets — keep your next alarm and streak visible - Unlimited alarms — weekdays, weekends, one-offs, whatever you need Questions, ideas, or feedback?

Sharp is a skin analysis and routine app for men who would rather measure than guess. Point your camera to your face for 10 seconds, and get a clear skin score from 0 to 100. No fluff, no beauty talk, just a number you can actually track. Every scan breaks your skin down into six measurable dimensions: • Clarity • Oil • Redness • Pores and texture • Eyes • Hydration From there, Sharp builds you an 8-week plan. Simple AM and PM steps, water, and a few lifestyle habits that actually move the needle. Check them off daily. Small steps, every day. Once a week you re-scan. The app compares your new photo to the last one, looks at how consistent you have been, and adjusts the plan. Stuck after weeks of doing everything right? It swaps the active ingredients. Skipping days? It keeps the plan and pushes you to stay consistent. That is the whole loop: scan, follow, re-scan, improve. Why men use Sharp: • A real score, not vague advice • Before and after photos that prove what is working • A plan that fits a normal morning, not a 10-step ritual • Clean, private, and straight to the point Most guys see visible change after six to eight weeks of consistent care. The hard part was never the products. It was knowing what to do and sticking to it. Sharp handles both. Your photos and data stay yours. Delete your account anytime and everything goes with it, on this device and on our servers. Important: Sharp gives you a cosmetic score, not a medical diagnosis. It is not a substitute for advice from a doctor or dermatologist. Subscriptions required: Your first scan and skin score are free during onboarding. Sharp's core features, including the personalized 8-week routine, product recommendations, weekly re-scans, plan adjustments, and progress tracking, require an active Sharp subscription (monthly auto-renewing plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase). The exact price and length are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
