Frequently Asked Questions

How do the challenges work?
When your alarm goes off, you'll need to complete a challenge to dismiss it. Challenges are designed to engage your brain or body so you're fully awake before the alarm stops.
What types of challenges are available?
Currently we offer two challenge types: Math problems (solve equations to prove you're thinking clearly), and Step counting (take a certain number of steps to get moving).
Can I edit or delete alarms after setting them?
Yes, you can edit or delete alarms anytime except when the "Lock Before Alarm" feature is enabled. This feature prevents changes 1 hour before the alarm time to prevent cheating.
How difficult are the challenges?
You can customize the difficulty level of each challenge. Math problems range from simple addition to more complex equations, and step challenges can be set from a quick walk to a longer trek.
What happens when I complete the challenge?
Once you complete your challenge, the alarm turns off and you can start your day! For repeating alarms, the next occurrence is automatically scheduled.
