When it rings, the screen locks until you finish a mission: walk 3 m (real steps only, shaking does nothing), math, pattern, brush your teeth, go outside. Finish it and the task you set last night gets checked off. 10 of 11 missions are free. If you save a place like the gym, the task comes up on the lock screen when you arrive. Android now, iOS in review.
Hi Product Hunt.
Cozysand exists because I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep for years. I tried the mission alarms. The photo mission was solved by reaching an arm out of bed. The math one I could do lying down.
So the missions here have to move your body. When the alarm rings, the screen locks and stays locked until you finish one:
- Walk. It counts distance from the hardware step detector, and only when the rhythm looks like human walking. Shaking the phone under the blanket stays at 0. Default is 3 m, just enough to be out of bed. If you keep breaking your own promise, it gets stricter on its own.
- Math, pattern, brush your teeth for a minute, go outside, read a sentence out loud.
- 10 of the 11 missions are free.
The part I care about most: the alarm is attached to a task you wrote the night before. Finish the mission and that task gets checked off. If you save a place like the gym or the office, the task comes up on the lock screen when you arrive. Since yesterday, tasks you create also land in your phone calendar, and you can switch that off in Settings.
Things you might not like, said up front:
- It asks for Always location. That is what "re-alarm if you're back in bed at home" and the arrival feature run on. If that is a hard no, this app is not for you.
- It uses more battery than a stock alarm because it watches location in the background. I don't have a number for you yet.
- Emergency calls are never blocked. A call button appears after 30 seconds, and a real call longer than 15 seconds ends the alarm.
- Floor detection barely works outside Korea, and transit routing has no data for Japan.
- Android only today. iOS is in App Store review.
If you use a stock alarm and it works, keep it. This is for the mornings where it doesn't.
Tell me what breaks. I read everything here.
