Alarmah

Steps alarm

Walk a number of steps to turn off the alarm. You can't do it lying down.

In short

  • Get up and walk until the step counter reaches your goal.
  • Choose 10 to 200 steps.
  • Counted by the iPhone's own step counter (Motion & Fitness).

How it works

The ring screen shows how many steps you've taken and how many are left. Walk around holding your phone, to the kitchen or down the hall. When you reach the goal, the alarm stops. If Motion & Fitness access is off, the mission becomes a shake mission instead, so the alarm can always be turned off.

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

  • 50 steps or more usually gets you out of the bedroom.
  • Chain steps with the photo mission and photograph something in the kitchen.

Questions

What if Motion & Fitness is turned off?

Then steps can't be counted, so the mission asks you to shake your phone hard instead. Turn it on in iPhone Settings → Alarmah to get the steps mission back.
