Gentle Morning Alarm Apps

The Tiny Hearts Wake Alarm Provides a Nicer Alternative to Alarm Clocks

— May 27, 2013 — Tech
Waking up is never easy even with handy alarm apps that jar you awake. The new Wake Alarm app from Tiny Hearts has found a great alternative to irksome alarms.

The app creates a completely personalized wake up call. Three different alarm modes dictate how you turn off the alarm or snooze when it goes off: shake, slap or slide. When on slap mode, a light slap will turn off the alarm. For those that need some extra help getting out of bed the shake mode requires a lot of aggressive physical activity to turn off the alarm making it difficult to turn over and snooze some more.

Unlike other alarm apps, the Wake Alarm also has a customized voice to get you up, accompanied by sound effects. A gentle voice heard over the sound of falling rain can get you up gently, while a bootcamp voice will shout at you until the alarm is turned off.

If you're looking for a gentle morning alarm to ease you out of bed the Wake Alarm is definitely the alarm app for you.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Wake-up Calls - Providing users with customizable alarm modes and voice options for a gentle and personalized waking experience.
2. Physical Engagement Alarms - Integrating physical activities like shaking or slapping to turn off alarms, promoting an active start to the day and reducing the chance of snoozing.
3. Alternative Alarm App Experiences - Offering unique and alternative alarm app experiences, breaking away from traditional irksome alarms and providing a more pleasant wake-up process.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - Opportunity to develop and improve alarm apps with customizable features and engaging wake-up experiences.
2. Health and Wellness - Potential to incorporate physical activities into waking up routines to promote an active lifestyle and establish healthy morning habits.
3. Audio Technology - Chance to create and enhance alarm apps with customized audio options for a soothing or motivating wake-up experience.
