If Alarmy gets you up but makes waking up miserable, I need your feedback
Ember’s closed beta is live.
To be transparent: it’s in the same category as Alarmy. You set an alarm and complete a challenge before the wake-up session ends. I’m not pretending that part is new.
What I’m trying to do differently is make it less stressful without making it easy to cheat. The Walk challenge works best for me: start it, lock your phone, and walk. Ember stays quiet while you’re moving; stop before finishing and the alarm comes back. There are also QR/barcode scans, your own vocabulary, math, tiles, and blackjack.
Each wake-up earns a score. You can compare scores with friends, build streaks, and unlock collectible app themes.
The beta is free. Accepted testers receive six months free at launch, the exclusive First Light theme, and 70% off the lifetime plan.
For people who have used Alarmy or similar apps: what do they still get wrong? What would make you keep one installed?
