Rookie mistake. The snooze goes off every five minutes. You need alarms for when you sleep through the snooze. Set them for 7:00, 7:06, 7:11
You got to offset your offsets, man! 7:00, 7:06, 7:12, 7:18, 7:24.
I am in this picture and I don’t like it!
I have a few more and I try to trick the system with intervals of 2 and 3 minutes between some of them to be different!
Yes, some variation is good! Also pick a slightly different interval than the snooze time, so if you hit snooze it is triggered twice xD
Yup exactly. Then the phone gets all confused and stressed by having multiple alarms mixed with snoozed things triggering at same time. That’s what really makes one wake up, the panic of pressing things and it not working.
I’ve been using this app for years. Need to solve math problems, do a chapta, scan a qr code or even steps to turn off the alarm. Allowed to snooze with snooze limits.
I’ve got just two alarms. Work and not work days!
Ngl, I had this for a week, and it was hell. Not only did I have to wake up every morning, I now had to start my day with thinking and math. Just let me be late to work in peace
That’s why it’s good!! I’m a terrible morning person and this truly forces me to get up and wake my brain up.
Can I tell you about our good lord and savior; snooze?
there is a risk of pressing “stop” instead of snooze or not hearing the alarm at all, I’m with OP on this one, I tend to go 2 or 3 depending on how tired I am, but never 1 xD
I never snooze so I have the muscle memory for turning off the alarm. So what’ll happen is I’ll just turn my alarm off and go back to sleep. Sometimes I don’t even remember doing it.
There are apps that will require you to do something to shut them off.
I have to go scan a QR code on my coffee maker to shut off the alarm, but you can do stuff like solve math problems.
My cousin slept on my couch for a night, had forgotten to deactivate his alarm for the weekend, so his alarm went off waking me tf up.
So I had to walk out of my room and solve a fucking puzzle I’d never seen before while the bastard slept thru it all
He’s the heaviest sleeper on Earth.
I love my alarm app, AMdroid.
Has all kinds of challenge things I don’t use (but probably should), but I do use the post alarm function.
5 minutes after I dismiss the alarm, I’ll get a notification asking if I’m awake. If I don’t respond in another 5 mins, a louder more obnoxious alarm will go off. Its like having multiple alarms, but with out the need to set/disable all the extras.
Also each time I snooze, the time gets 2 minutes shorter. 10mins, 8, 6, 4, 2…
I can’t find the app, unless you are talking about this… https://f-droid.org/packages/com.sound.ampache/
Unfortunately, it isn’t FOSS, and even has paid features.
If your model is 100% FOSS, no luck. If you dont care: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid
Location data is used for location based alarms. If I recall, in the free version, the ads were just a banner at the bottom, (nothing stupid like “watch video to snooze”, although the rage would definitely wake you up).
The recent reviews seem low, not sure what that’s about, I haven’t had any issues on my pixel 5a, android 14. They also complain about no backup/restore despite it being the 4th item in the settings menu, so take that as you will. My guess is they didn’t set it to unrestricted battery usage or display over other apps (to get it to appear when the screen is locked).
Looking at the logs, its only internet access has been google APIs
If you’re worried about it, get netgaurd and block all it from all WiFi/cell activity. I’m guessing it will only affect location and “the WiFi signal strength challage”.
Wake up on first alarm, can’t relate. My gf however, needs 85 alarms because she doesn’t Snooze, she just Dismisses.
I started using multiple alarms for some time, but I noticed that I was starting to completely ignore them to the point of not hearing them. I was actually a bit scared when I noticed and I said fuck that. Now I have 2 alarms to really pay attention to them. One at wake up time and other when I should be at the door, just in case.
That’s me. 😅 I have 7:45 8:00 8:35 & 9:00. I found out that this is the perfect setup for me. Depending on how tired I am I can take a nap until the next alarm. If I wake up I dismiss them anyway.
I tried to have an alarm across the room on a table to force me to get out of bed and turn it off. I found out that I was able to stop them and keep sleeping without remembering ever doing it.
Went back to have 5 or 10 alarms in the phone again.
