I couldn’t wake up, so I built a game-based alarm app

Hey dev.to 👋

I’m an indie developer and I kept having the same problem:


I’d turn off alarms half-asleep and go straight back to bed.

So I built Alarm Arcade, an iOS alarm app that only stops after you complete a short mini-game.

Instead of snoozing on autopilot, you have to actively wake your brain up with games like:

• Memory

• Math

• Reaction

• Tilt-based challenges

I’m currently looking for early users and honest feedback:

• Does this actually help you wake up?

• Are the games too easy or too annoying?

• What would you improve first?

Would love to hear your thoughts 🙏
