Challenge Alarm: Smart Clock
The alarm app that forces heavy sleepers to wake up
Challenge Alarm forces you to actually wake up — solve a math puzzle, scan a QR code in another room, beat a maze, shake your phone, or recall a memory sequence before it'll stop ringing. Stack multiple challenges if you're a hopeless snoozer. 14+ challenge types, step + water tracking, offline-first, no account needed, works in 15+ languages. Built for heavy sleepers who've beaten every "smart" alarm out there. 2,000+ installs, 50+ reviews since launching in March — all organic.
Hey PH! 👋
Built this after missing one too many alarms myself. Standard alarms let you shut them off while still half-asleep — this one won't stop ringing until you actually engage your brain. Solve a math puzzle, scan a QR code in another room, beat a maze, shake your phone, or recall a memory sequence. You can even stack multiple challenges back-to-back if you're a truly hopeless snoozer 😅
A few things I focused on as a solo dev:
- Works fully offline, no account needed
- 14+ challenge types so it doesn't get repetitive
- 15+ languages supported
- Built-in step + water tracking to nudge better morning habits
Launched in March, sitting at 2,000+ installs and 50+ reviews now — all organic, no ad spend, just word of mouth and a lot of Reddit threads 😄
Would genuinely love your feedback: what's the ONE thing that actually gets you out of bed in the morning? Trying to figure out what challenge type to build next.
Love that it works offline and no account is needed, super refreshing. One thing that would actually make me use it long-term is a gradual ramp-up mode where the first challenge is easy and it only unlocks harder ones if you snooze, that way I'm not solving a hard maze while half asleep and accidentally throwing my phone across the room. Would feel way more humane for the 6am crowd.
