New in 1.3.1: Relentless Mode. Pre-arm 100 backups every 30 seconds for up to 50 minutes, with Siren, Hornet, and Cataclysm rotating through the chain.
Built on Apple AlarmKit

Silent mode. Focus.
Still rings.

AlarmPop rings like a system alarm, then makes you beat a wake-up mission. Standard mode keeps one backup armed. Relentless Mode can keep bringing it back every 30 seconds.

Start with two active Math alarms, Siren, and Klaxon · Requires iPhone with iOS 26.1 or later.

How it works

Turning it off takes more than a sleepy swipe.

AlarmPop turns waking up into a short challenge your half-asleep brain cannot complete by accident.

1

Choose your wake-up mission

Pick the mission, difficulty, sound, and time. Pro can stack up to five missions when one is not enough.

2

It rings through the system

AlarmKit gives AlarmPop the system alarm screen and the ability to ring through Silent mode and Focus.

3

Finish—or it comes back

Complete the mission or confirm Emergency Exit to clear the chain. Choose one Standard backup or 100 Relentless backups.

The hard-to-ignore difference

The alarm is only the beginning.

Real screens from AlarmPop show exactly what happens when the easy exits stop being easy.

Sing It Back

Hear a melody, then hum or sing each note back on pitch. Morning voice counts. Audio is analyzed on-device and never recorded.

Scan to Silence

Register any barcode or a printable AlarmPop QR and stick it across the room. Scanning is the intended finish; a deliberate Emergency Exit remains available. No code registered? Any code works — the walk is the mission.

Jumping Jack Attack

Prop the phone up and jump. The front camera counts your reps in real time — there is no faking a jumping jack half-asleep.

New in 1.3.1

Relentless Mode

Turn it on per alarm to pre-arm 100 independent backups every 30 seconds for up to 50 minutes. Siren, Hornet, and Cataclysm rotate so one sound cannot become another snooze cue.

Private by design.

No accounts. No ads. No analytics. Your alarms, streaks, mission results, and microphone analysis stay on your iPhone. Sing It Back listens only during the mission and does not record or upload your voice.

AlarmPop Pro

Choose the wake-up insurance that fits.

Start with up to two active Math Gauntlet alarms at any difficulty using Siren or Klaxon. Pro unlocks unlimited active alarms, all 11 concrete missions plus Mystery Roulette, every sound, and stacks up to five missions.

The base tier is a real alarm, not a demo.

AlarmKit system ringing, Standard and Relentless backup defense, Emergency Exit, streaks, and Wake-up Score work before you upgrade. You can also preview every sound and explore every mission.

FAQ

The questions you will ask before bed.

Does it really ring through Silent mode and Focus?

Yes. AlarmPop uses Apple’s AlarmKit, which gives scheduled AlarmPop alarms system-level presentation through Silent mode and Focus when alarm permission is enabled.

What happens if I hit Apple’s Stop control?

The current alert can go quiet. Standard mode keeps one proven backup armed for about three minutes; optional Relentless Mode pre-arms 100 backups every 30 seconds for up to 50 minutes. Completing the mission or confirming Emergency Exit cancels what remains.

Can I get trapped in a mission?

No. Standard Emergency Exit requires a 16-second hold plus typed confirmation. The optional Relentless exit can make you maintain contact with a moving target for 20 cumulative seconds before the same confirmation.

What works without AlarmPop Pro?

You can keep up to two alarms active using Math Gauntlet at any difficulty with Siren or Klaxon. AlarmKit ringing, both backup modes, Emergency Exit, streaks, and Wake-up Score are included. You can preview every sound and explore every mission; Pro unlocks the rest of the catalog, unlimited active alarms, and mission stacking.

Does Sing It Back record my voice?

No. It analyzes pitch on-device only while the mission is listening. AlarmPop does not record or upload your audio.

How is mission difficulty chosen?

You select one of five levels when setting the alarm. AlarmPop does not secretly auto-calibrate or change that choice.

Will an alarm work after force-quitting or restarting?

Once scheduled with AlarmKit, the system alarm remains registered independently of the app process. Your iPhone still needs power, alarm permission, and working system audio. For truly critical events, use a second device as a backup.

Do photo missions upload my photos anywhere?

No. Snap the Spot matches your photo against your registered spot entirely on-device using Apple’s Vision framework — no AI service, no cloud. Photos never leave your iPhone.

How do subscriptions and introductory offers work?

Eligible new subscribers may see an introductory offer before the normal renewal price begins. Apple determines eligibility. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings; Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no renewal.
