These non-traditional alarm apps offer more than the traditional buzzer many use to get out of bed each morning.
The Snorelax app is perfect for those that have a fairly long commute to work each day. While this app is designed to alert you of the start of your day, it also provides traffic-analyzing information so you know whether or not you're going to be late for school or work. Offering motivation along with a wake up notification, the JOMA and the Spirit Junkie app awakes you with words of encouragement to start your day.
These non-traditional alarm apps also include millennial-friendly platforms such as the Snap Me Up and the Mimicker app which both involve an interactive selfie game.
