Clucky, a new alarm application for iPhone, has been released. It offers various alarm sounds, including a crowing rooster, and requires users to complete specific missions before the alarm can be turned off. This approach is designed to ensure users fully wake up rather than just silencing the alarm and going back to sleep.
The app incorporates several challenge types that users must complete to dismiss their alarm. These missions include solving math problems, memorizing and tapping tiles, typing specific phrases, shaking the phone, walking, doing push-ups, tilting a ball, and completing an AI camera challenge. For users preferring traditional alarms, options like gentle chimes, peaceful birds, and digital beeping are also available, alongside an "Extra Loud Mode."
Clucky includes a detailed stats section that tracks user performance, such as the average time an alarm rings before mission completion, the number of missions beaten, and total wake-ups. It also provides a "Rooster Report" to grade weekly wake-up performance. Additionally, the app allows users to create private groups called "Nests" or "Flocks" with friends or family for shared wake-up times and accountability.
Clucky was founded by Adrian Angelo Abelarde, a former software engineer. The app is currently available for download on the App Store. A pro subscription is offered at a price of $39.99 per year.
