AlarmahShake alarm
Shake your phone hard to turn off the alarm. Your arm wakes up first, then the rest of you.

38of 60 shakes
In short
- Shake the phone until the counter reaches your goal.
- Choose 10 to 200 shakes.
- Uses the motion sensors, with no permission prompt.
How it works
A ring fills up as you shake. Only firm shakes count, so a lazy wobble in bed won't do it. When the counter reaches your goal, the alarm stops. Shake needs no permission, so it's also the stand-in when the steps mission can't count steps.
You can add up to five missions to one alarm. They run in order, and the alarm stops only after the last one.

Tips for heavy sleepers
- 60 or more shakes takes real effort and gets your heart rate up.
- Hold the phone firmly: you're shaking it hard.
Questions
Why don't some shakes count?
