Sure, you can set standard alarms, adjust the snooze periods, and access a large library of alarm sounds (including some extra loud ones), but what really makes Alarmy so useful are the “Missions” you can set alongside the alarm.

While they’re all free to download, getting rid of ads or unlocking premium features might require an upgrade purchase.

Pricing: Few apps are completely free, so expect to pay something for most of the apps on this list.

If you’re a deep sleeper and have trouble staying awake even after the alarm goes off, these can help get you up and moving. To complete a task, you might need to do something like take a picture, solve a math problem, shake your phone, or get up and walk a certain number of steps. Any apps that include such a feature essentially require you to complete various tasks before the alarm can be disabled.

Wakeup Challenges: Sometimes, you need an extra kick in the morning to actually get out of bed, and that’s where wakeup challenges can be useful.

Some apps even allow you to use your own music and sound effects if you already have something in mind. Being able to adjust how loud those tones are and whether or not the alarm uses vibrations is also useful. While Apple provides a selection of preinstalled alarm tones on your phone, an app including its own alarm tones-whether they’re obnoxious or calming-is a great option to have.

Sound Options: You might grow to dislike any sound you use for your alarm, so you should have more control over what that sound can be.

All of these things can make sure the snooze mode works towards actually getting you out of bed. Deeper options like a snooze limit that, once reached, will disable the use of snooze, adjustable snooze intervals, and even a delayed snooze mode that waits until after you’ve disabled the alarm to ensure you’re actually up.

Snoozing: This is another simple feature that most, if not all, alarm clocks will have however, there’s is more to a snooze mode than just a simple toggle.

All the apps here support multiple alarms, and using an app without this isn’t going to get you far. Being able to set alarms at once for different times, on different days, is a basic yet useful feature.

Multiple Alarms: This is a basic one that every alarm app should include.

While alarm apps are pretty simple, there’s still plenty to look at when it comes to picking the best one for you.
