- For
- iPhone users who want a more engaging morning alarm
- Worth noticing
- It says it counts mornings fed, not mornings missed, and offers a no-drag bowl-filling mode as an alternative gesture.
Field notes
The preview lays out multiple alarms with separate schedules and repeat limits, then shows how a morning proceeds from a quieted ring to a later return. Barley can be customized with five coats and four rooms, while the page says optional purchases affect appearance only. The App Store release is still listed as forthcoming, so the shown screens and described behavior document the intended product rather than confirming an available app.
