Dawnbreak Makes Oversleeping Physically Inconvenient
An alarm app that requires missions such as walking, squats, arithmetic, photographs, or barcode scans before it will stop.
Field notes
The alarm substitutes physical or cognitive obstacles for a conventional dismiss button: users may need to walk to another room, scan a barcode, reproduce a pattern, or complete camera-counted squats. The page says alarms can run for up to ten rounds and that an emergency exit is available from first launch. It also describes device-local storage, in-memory camera analysis, and a twelve-language interface with dedicated Arabic right-to-left layout.
