The reason I'm a Apple fan and my history of products and you?

(I've searched a discussion flair but didn't find one)

I remember seeing for the first time at the news Steve Jobs unveiling the iPhone (I was 6 years old) and loved Apple's vision and liked the company, under Tim Cook's era I bought my first Apple device: an iPhone 12, followed by an Apple Watch Series 7 and a MagSafe Duo charger) in 2024 I bought as a replacement of my Series 7 who was dead (the screen was broken after a fall during an hike, luckily I didn't get injured) an Series 9 (that I'm still rockin on), followed by an Apple TV 4k, the AirPods Pro 2 (that I've broke when I was getting out of my dad's Dacia Sandero) and an AirTag, I loved the Tim Cook era and now I'm starting to love John Ternus's era! And you?

My alarm clock has entered its villain era: Alarmageddon

I’ve always hated how easy it is to turn off an alarm while still half asleep.

You hear it, reach for your phone, hit Stop… and before you know it, you’re back in bed. Or you unlock your phone “just for a minute” and end up scrolling Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, etc.

So I built [**Alarmageddon**](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/alarmageddon-loud-alarm-clock/id6791023578) to make the alarm itself harder to dismiss.

Instead of just tapping Stop, you can require yourself to complete a wake-up mission:

* Solve a math problem
* Complete a memory challenge
* Shake your phone
* Scan a QR code or barcode
* And more

The idea is that the alarm dismissal becomes an actual interaction rather than something you can do automatically while barely conscious.

But I also wanted to tackle what happens **after** you wake up.

Alarmageddon has an optional **App Blocker** that can block distracting apps for the first 15–30 minutes after the alarm.

So the intended flow is:

**Alarm goes off → you have to actually wake up to dismiss it → distracting apps stay blocked for a little while → you start your day.**

# Why not just set five alarms?

Because if you can turn off one alarm while half asleep, you can probably turn off five.

Putting your phone across the room helps too, but then the challenge becomes getting out of bed, walking over to your phone, turning it off… and getting straight back into bed.

I wanted the **act of dismissing the alarm** to be the barrier.

I originally built it for myself, then decided to release it publicly.

**Alarmageddon is currently completely free.**

No subscriptions, no ads, no premium tier.

[Download Alarmageddon on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/alarmageddon-loud-alarm-clock/id6791023578)

I’d be interested to hear what other people use to actually get themselves out of bed in the morning.

Got annoyed with long voice memos in WhatsApp so I made Mono. An app that splits them into chapters, extracts the questions you need to answer as well as action items and calendar events.

As the title says, it lets you share your WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage etc voice memos to the app where it's then transcribed and analysed with Apple Intelligence or OpenAI models.

Completely free if you want to use Apple Intelligence and Apple's speech to text. You can also add your own OpenAI API key for free.

If you don't have your own API key you can subscribe or get a lifetime IAP but for most people Apple Intelligence or BYO should be enough.

https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/mono-ai-voice-memo-assistant/id6811572189?l=en-GB

Also made a little website to show the concept and answer some common questions

https://www.monomemos.com


Happy to hear any feedback.
