uAlarm ringing: a capybara video wallpaper behind the alarm time, a push-ups mission, and the Start Mission button

Built for people who sleep through normal alarms.

How it works

Out of bed in three steps

1

Pick a mission

Choose what it takes to shut it up — math sprints, camera-counted push-ups, or a barcode across the room. Set the difficulty.

2

It rings for real

A full-screen system alarm on iOS 26 — on the lock screen, through silent mode, even if the app was closed the night before.

3

Prove you're up

The alarm is dismissed only when the mission is done. By then you're standing, thinking, awake — and your streak grows by one.

AI verification

Your alarm doesn't trust you. AI checks.

Tapping “done” means nothing. The camera watches your push-ups, counts every rep, and only a completed mission dismisses the alarm.

Every check runs on your iPhone. The camera feed never leaves the device — not a single frame is uploaded, ever.

Streaks

Every alarm you beat grows the chain — and breaking it hurts more than getting up.

Wake-up analytics

Your real wake times charted against the plan — catch the drift before it becomes a habit.

Lock-screen countdown

On iOS 26, your next alarm shows on the lock screen with a live countdown for the last 8 hours before it rings. No more 3 a.m. “did I set it?” checks.

Speaks your language

English, Русский, and Oʻzbekcha — every screen, every mission, and the alarm buttons the app controls.

FAQ

Will it ring on silent, or with the phone locked?

Yes. On iOS 26 and newer, uAlarm schedules a real system alarm (AlarmKit): a full-screen alert on the lock screen that cuts through silent mode and Focus. On older iOS versions it plays a loud in-app ring while the app is running, backed by an escalating burst of notifications — which follow your phone's silent switch.

What if I close the app the night before?

On iOS 26 and newer the alarm is registered with the system (AlarmKit), not kept alive by the app — it fires even if you closed the app the night before, and stopping the alert opens your mission. Swiping the app away mid-mission brings the alarm right back, and reopening uAlarm drops you straight into the ringing alarm. On older iOS versions the app keeps itself ready in the background; if you swipe it away, you still get the escalating notification banners, but those follow your phone's silent switch — so leave uAlarm running overnight.

Can I cheat my way out?

Not really. AI counts camera-mission reps on-device (push-ups can fall back to the proximity sensor in the dark), steps come from the motion sensor, and barcode or NFC missions make you physically walk to the thing you registered. Snooze is off by default: turn it on per alarm and pick 1–15 minutes (and a limit on how many times it can be used). Closing the app mid-mission just brings the alarm right back — and reopening it resumes the ring, not the home screen. On iOS 26 the lock-screen Snooze button is Apple's own and isn't counted against that limit.

What does the AI camera see?

The verification runs entirely on your iPhone. No video is uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone — the camera feed never leaves the device.

How much does it cost?

The app is free to download and the free plan keeps a limited number of alarms; a paid plan removes that limit. uAlarm Pro is a yearly subscription ($19.99 a year in the US) and uAlarm Premium a one-time lifetime purchase ($49.99 in the US) — no renewals, and Premium includes everything Pro has. No free trial, no tricks. Your store bills in your local currency and prices differ by country. Purchases belong to your uAlarm account: sign in with the same account on any phone and use Restore Purchases.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Android is in development — the app is built with cross-platform code — but iOS ships first and there's no release date to announce.

Tomorrow morning, win.

Set one alarm tonight. Thank yourself at sunrise.
