Hello my name is Orel. I developed an Android alarm clock app named "For A Meaningful Morning."

Here's where to join as a tester:

• Direct invite to be a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/visionaryalarmclock.github.io
• App store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=visionaryalarmclock.github.io
• Google group: http://groups.google.com/u/0/g/alpha-testing-for-a-meaningful-morning?pli=1

I developed this app because I didn't like the current solutions to my problem of not being able to wake up in the mornings. I experienced frustration due to difficult math challenges ongoing after waking up or completing the challenge half asleep and going back to sleep. The whole process was unconscious.

I also felt like when I plan for my day and life I don't live up to it many times simply because it's not always in my mind. I am a human and when I talk with friends, spend time with family, or enjoy my free time, I don't envision all the while which kind of person I want to be. And we don't need to hold it in our minds all day.

This personal experience inspired me to build this app where you can write notes with your dreams, goals, visions, and maybe even just messages for the you in the morning or a simple reminder of something you need to do. My app allows it with a feature of attaching notes to alarms. It's a standard alarm clock till it rings with the configuration "force retype" on—and then you must type your attached note in order to dismiss it.

It's the first app I release to the store and I need your help to make it happen. I would like it if you could help me and give feedback on the app. Complain as much as you want—even minor inconveniences or a bad button placement is feedback I want. Since in the end, I want to provide the best user experience possible.

You may also join the Google group and post issues you find, or you can use the Google form inside the app itself (in the About section in Settings).

Thanks for helping me! 🙏

I’ve been with this annoying problem for a long time now, and I’m curious if anyone else has been dealing with it.

​I need "friction" to wake up otherwise I’ll just sleep through my alarm/s. I’ve tried all the standard apps that force you to solve math problems, scan QR codes, or shake the phone.

​But here’s the problem:

​If I set the "challenges" too easy: I’m not conscious enough to actually get out of bed. I just solve them half asleep and go back to sleep.

​If I set them too hard: I end up so annoyed and frustrated by the time I actually turn off the alarm that I start my whole day in a bad mood.

Like I ended up getting conscious of getting out of bed, the ****king challenge is too difficult to solve and is still ongoing when i am already awake. Plus, I'm still tired since i just got up!

​It feels like I'm stuck between sleeping through the alarm or starting my day with unnecessary anger.

​Does anyone else struggle with this "too easy vs. too annoying" trap? How do you like actually get yourself out of bed without feeling like you're being punished by the tool you wake up thanks to?
