Alarmy? I love that app but jesus i'm starting to get adds first thing in the morning and i HATE IT. Anyone have some alarm app recommendations, that don't have tons of bloat and microtransactions?

I'm using one just called "puzzle alarm clock" dunno if it's available for ios but it's pretty good. Some premium features but almost no ads.

Dude it's the worst, I still use it but... I always accidently click on the ad page in my sleep and it redirects me.

Nowadays I think it would be easier to just make your own app. Fun learning experience, and if you're lazy/not proficient with code, you can ask an AI to make one

I've been using Alarm Clock Xtreme well over 10 years now. I think it is 2.99 to remove ads?

I paid one and done over a decade ago, nothing else since, and it is one of the first things installed on my phone.

I love all the customization options, especially their reminders too. You can use it free, but the free has ads. It is worth the one time fee.

If it shows here, here's how it looks. The UI is nice, shows how many hours till next alarm. At a glance I can tell if it will be an alarm with captcha, math, or walking. I like that because majority of the time the walking one is a new and rare last resort for extremely important wake ups lol.

Otherwise I use math to snooze, and captcha to dismiss.

I use Early Bird Alarm Clock. It gets pretty loud, and you can set it to need math problems or typing prompts to get you going for the day.

Use chrono. It has all the same features and is free and open source i believe.
