# Gentle Morning Alarm Apps The Tiny Hearts Wake Alarm Provides a Nicer Alternative to Alarm Clocks By | Published 2013-05-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-apps References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/tech/tiny-hearts-wake-alarm.php) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wake-alarm/id616764635?ls=1&mt=8) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrise-alarm) to ease you out of bed the Wake Alarm is definitely the alarm app for you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personalized Wake-up Calls:** Providing users with customizable alarm modes and voice options for a gentle and personalized waking experience. - **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. - **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. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunity to develop and improve alarm apps with customizable features and engaging wake-up experiences. - **Health and Wellness:** Potential to incorporate physical activities into waking up routines to promote an active lifestyle and establish healthy morning habits. - **Audio Technology:** Chance to create and enhance alarm apps with customized audio options for a soothing or motivating wake-up experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gentle Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-alarm-clock.md) - [Silent Wearable Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silentwakeup.md) - [Silent Wake-Up Wristbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakeband.md) - [Motivational Wake-Up Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alaarm.md) - [Soothing Sleep Tracker Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-bracelet.md) - [Connected Sunrise Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-smartsleep-connected-sleep-and-wakeup-light.md) - [Chic Circadian Rhythm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hatch-restore-2.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/routine-alarm-clock.md) - [Minimal Wake-Aware Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-sleep-light.md)
