Alarmy guarantees you will get out of bed every single morning. You’re able to setup multiple recurring alarms with different ringtone sounds, snooze rules, and labels. Alarmy includes three different wakeup methods: Take a Picture, Shake, and Math Problems. The first method requires you to take a picture of something away from your bed and, in order to disable the alarm in the morning, you’ll have to take a picture of it again. The second requires you to shake your device a number of times. The third method requires you to solve a number of complicated math problems. One way or another, you’re getting out of bed.

If you’re always late for work in the morning, you need Alarmy. There’s no way to cheat.

Results vary greatly. Make sure to take a picture of something that doesn’t frequently change or is in bad lighting.
