Wake up.
For real.

Why ordinary alarms fail

A button you can tap in your sleep isn't an alarm.

Your brain has learned to dismiss a normal alarm without ever waking up. Alarm Mate breaks that habit by making you actually do something before the sound stops.

The half-asleep snooze

You tap snooze on autopilot and don't remember it. An hour later you wake up late, again — the alarm never had a chance.

Silenced by Do-Not-Disturb

Phone on silent or DND overnight and the morning alarm barely whispers. You sleep right through it.

Killed by a reboot

An overnight update restarts the phone and your alarm silently disappears. You only find out when it's too late.

Awake, then back under

You stop the alarm, lie back down "for one minute," and you're gone. Nothing checks that you actually got up.

Battery saver strikes

Aggressive OEM battery optimisation freezes the alarm scheduler, so the alarm fires late — or never.

No accountability

Waking up early is a habit, and habits need tracking. A plain alarm gives you nothing to build a streak on.

Wake-up missions

Pick a challenge you can't fake.

Guard any alarm with one of 11 missions. Set the difficulty and how many rounds you must complete — mission alarms expose no Stop button, so the only way out is through.

Math

Solve problems before it stops. Crank the difficulty until your brain is actually awake.

Shake

Shake the phone until the counter hits zero. Simple, loud and impossible to ignore.

Steps

Get out of bed and walk a target number of steps, counted by the motion sensor.

Walking

A GPS-tracked distance walk — you're properly up before it ever goes quiet.

Squats

Count real squats with the accelerometer. Wake up and get the blood moving.

Typing

Type a quote exactly as shown — enough focus to pull you out of autopilot.

Memory

Match pairs in a grid. A quick brain game that won't let you drift back off.

Simon

Repeat a growing colour sequence. The longer you stall, the longer it rings.

Puzzle

Tap tiles 1 to 9 in order. Fast, fiddly and just hard enough at 6am.

QR code

Scan a QR you stuck across the room — built-in scanner, no Play Services needed.

Barcode

Scan a registered barcode (e.g. your toothpaste) — it physically gets you out of bed.

Your difficulty, your rounds

Mix any mission with a difficulty and a round count. Make it gentle on weekends, brutal on Monday.

Designed for heavy sleepers

An alarm engineered to actually fire — and stick.

Under the missions is a serious alarm engine that beats silent mode, reboots and battery savers, plus everyday essentials and habit tools to keep your mornings consistent.

Unmissable by design

Plays over silent and Do-Not-Disturb, with a full-screen takeover even on the lock screen.

Direct-boot aware

Rings even after a reboot before you unlock, and auto-fires alarms missed during a brief shutdown (within an hour).

Wake-up check

Optionally re-rings if you don't confirm you're actually up — no sneaking back to bed.

Emergency preset

One tap for max volume, math + shake and no snooze — for the mornings you absolutely cannot miss.

Snooze, your way

Per-alarm snooze toggle and duration, plus quick +/- chips to tweak the time as you set it.

Tones & vibration

Custom alarm tones from your device, with per-alarm volume and vibration control.

Flexible scheduling

Repeat by weekday, one-shot, or fixed timezone. A live countdown to the next alarm sits on your home screen and widget.

Survives the system

Holds up through reboots, time changes and battery optimisation, so the alarm is always where you left it.

Habits, streaks & XP

Build a wake-up habit with a tracker, streaks and XP. See trends and your wake-up consistency over time.

Naps & routines

Power naps with a countdown, a bedtime reminder and a morning routine checklist to start the day right.

Stats & trends

See how reliably you wake, which missions you use, and whether your mornings are improving.

Backup & restore

Back up and restore your alarms, habits and routines so a new phone is set up in seconds.

Three taps to a wake-up you can't dodge

Set it tonight, beat it tomorrow.

No account, no setup screens. Create an alarm, guard it with a mission, and let Alarm Mate handle the rest.

01

Create an alarm

Set the time with quick +/- chips, pick repeat days, choose a tone and volume.

02

Pick a mission

Attach math, shake, steps, walking, squats, QR or any of the 11 missions. Set difficulty and rounds.

03

Wake up for real

The alarm takes over the screen and won't stop until the mission is done. No button to cheat.

Private by default

Runs entirely on your phone.

Alarm Mate has no account and no analytics, runs no ads, and sends nothing to a server. Sensitive permissions are used only at the exact moment a mission needs them.

Nothing leaves your phone

No login, no advertising or analytics SDKs, no cloud. Your alarms, habits and stats stay on-device.

Location only while walking

Used solely during a Walking mission, and only while the alarm is firing — never in the background, never stored or sent.

Camera only to scan

Opened only during QR / Barcode missions while you scan. Never recorded, never transmitted.

Frequently asked questions

How is Alarm Mate different from a normal alarm?

Mission alarms show no Stop button on the notification — the only way to silence the alarm is to complete the mission you chose. Solve math, walk a distance, do squats, scan a QR and more. You can't swipe it away half-asleep or accidentally drag it off.

Does it really play over silent and Do-Not-Disturb?

Yes. Alarm Mate plays over silent mode and DND, takes over the full screen even on the lock screen, and is direct-boot aware so it rings after a reboot before you've unlocked the phone.

What happens if my phone restarts overnight?

Alarms are re-scheduled automatically after a reboot. Any alarm missed during a brief shutdown auto-fires on boot within a one-hour grace window, so an overnight update won't make you oversleep.

Do the QR and Barcode missions need Google Play Services?

No. The QR and Barcode scanners are built in and work on every Android device, with no Play Services dependency.

Can I make it easier on weekends?

Yes. Each alarm has its own mission, difficulty and round count, and its own snooze settings — gentle on Sunday, brutal on Monday. There's also an emergency preset for the mornings you can't miss.

Is it private — and is there an account or ads?

It's fully on-device with no account, no ads and no analytics. Location is used only during a Walking mission while the alarm rings, and the camera only during QR/Barcode missions while you scan. Nothing leaves your phone.

Will I lose my alarms if I change phones?

No. Back up your alarms, habits and routines, then restore them on the new device to be set up in seconds.

Stop snoozing. Start waking up.

Set the alarm you can't beat. Free, no ads, no account — just a wake-up that actually works.
