The alarm you actually have to wake up for.
Early Alarm won't shut off just because you tapped it. Solve a puzzle, snap a photo, shake your phone, or move your body first — then watch your streak and wake time climb, morning after morning.
Mission
How it works
Pick a wake-up time, a mission, and a sound — fixed for a set schedule, or gradual to ease into an earlier one.
No swipe-to-dismiss. The alarm keeps ringing, full-screen, until your mission is actually complete.
Every first-try wake-up feeds a streak, a heatmap, and a wake-time trend — so the habit is visible, not just felt.
Missions
Four ways to prove you're actually up.
Choose the mission that fits each alarm. Every mission runs on-device — nothing about what you photograph or how you move ever needs to leave your phone.
Solve a few problems to shut it off. Pick Easy, Medium, or Hard.
Re-photograph a spot across the room — the kitchen, the bathroom mirror, wherever gets you moving.
Shake your phone until the count fills. No thinking required, just motion.
Jumping jacks, squats, push-ups, or just move for 30 seconds — your call.
Gradual wake-up
Don't jump to 6 AM. Ease into it.
Set a starting time and a target, and Early Alarm nudges your wake-up earlier by a few minutes on a schedule you pick — a minute a day, five minutes every three days, whatever pace you can actually sustain.
Change your mind mid-schedule and the app recalculates the rest of the plan — today's progress is never lost.

Progress
Progress
Watch the habit build, one morning at a time.
A streak flame for consecutive first-try wake-ups, a monochrome heatmap of every day you showed up, and a running comparison against where you started. It only tracks your primary alarm, so the number always means something.
Alarm reliability
Your phone can kill an alarm before it even rings.
Aggressive battery managers and Focus modes are the real reason alarm apps fail — not bugs. Early Alarm walks you through disabling both, in plain language, before it lets that be a problem.
A walkthrough for your exact phone maker — MIUI, Samsung, and the rest — so background restrictions never silently kill your alarm.
Guided setup for Time Sensitive Notifications, so Sleep Focus can't mute your mission.
Set the alarm you can't sleep through.
