AlarmahTyping alarm
Type a sentence exactly to turn off the alarm. Hard to do with your eyes closed.
I am up and I am not going back to bed.
In short
- The alarm stops only after you type every sentence.
- Choose 1 to 5 sentences and easy, normal or hard.
- Sentences are in the app's language: English or Arabic.
How it works
A sentence appears on the ring screen. Type it in the box underneath; a bar fills as you go and turns red if you make a mistake. Capital letters, punctuation and spacing don't matter, and in Arabic neither do tashkeel or letter variants like أ and ا, but every word has to be there.
You can add up to five missions to one alarm. They run in order, and the alarm stops only after the last one.
Settings
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Sentences | 1 to 5 (default 2) |
| Easy | Short phrases, like “Rise and shine” |
| Normal | A full sentence, like “Every morning is a fresh start.” |
| Hard | A long sentence of 12 words or more |
Tips for heavy sleepers
- Hard sentences are long enough that you'll be properly awake by the end.
- Pair typing with the wake-up check, so dozing off after typing still gets caught.
Questions
Do I have to match capitals and punctuation?
No. Only the words count, so a missing comma or capital letter won't fail you.
Can I write my own sentences?
Not yet. Alarmah picks a different sentence from its list each time, so you can't memorize one answer.
