AlarmK - Mission Alarm

Rings through Silent and Focus — it runs on iOS 26 AlarmKit. Eight missions (QR, math, squats) end only when you're out of bed. No ads, no in-app purchases.

The morning before an exam, the first day at a new job, a 6 AM flight — some mornings you simply can't sleep through.

AlarmK is a mission-based wake-up alarm built on iOS 26 AlarmKit. Because it uses system-level alarms, it rings through Silent and Focus modes. To dismiss it, you complete a mission — scan a QR code by your bathroom door, solve a math problem, or shake the phone — something that actually requires you to be out of bed.

▶ Why AlarmK

• AlarmKit-based system alarms: same permission model as Apple's Clock app, rings through Silent and Focus
• Mission wake-up: QR/barcode, math, memory, typing, shake, squats, walk, photo — 8 missions (chain up to 5, with a practice mode)
• iOS 17–25: graceful fallback to UserNotifications + Live Activity
• Wake Report: 7-day wake patterns, mission success rate, streaks

▶ Critical Mode for the mornings that matter A 7-item bedtime checklist — alarm scheduled, permissions granted, ringer switch on, device charging, mission pre-checked, lock-screen notifications allowed, backup alarm registered. When every item is green, AlarmK shows a reliability score for tomorrow's alarm. If something's missing, it tells you right then.

▶ Live Activity & Dynamic Island The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show a live countdown to your next alarm. When it fires, tap the secondary button to jump straight into your mission.

▶ Widgets · Siri · Shift work

• Home and Lock Screen widgets show your next alarm and countdown (Apple Watch Smart Stack supported)
• Siri & Shortcuts: set alarms, check the next one, start a nap timer, skip an occurrence — without opening the app
• Shift rotations (N days on / M days off), optional Korean public-holiday skip, and a fixed-instant option for dated alarms
• An optional bedtime reminder and the wake check guard both ends of the night

▶ iCloud sync Your alarm definitions sync via your own iCloud (private database). Switch iPhones and your alarms come with you. Your alarm data is never sent to our servers, and we can't see it.

▶ Honest about the limits

• A phone that's powered off, has 0% battery, or has alarm permissions denied — no alarm app can wake you. AlarmK focuses on flagging those risks before they bite.
• iOS 17–25 falls back to UserNotifications + Live Activity (AlarmKit isn't available). It's not as bulletproof as system alarms but more persistent than a plain notification.

▶ Privacy

• Camera and motion permissions are used only during missions
• QR scans are verified on-device, never transmitted
• No third-party analytics — no Google Analytics, no Facebook SDK
• QR secrets sync end-to-end encrypted in your iCloud Keychain (device-only if you turn iCloud Keychain off)

▶ FAQ Q. What is AlarmKit? A. The system alarm API Apple introduced in iOS 26. Uses the same permission model as the Clock app, so it rings through Silent and Focus.

Q. What happens if I turn off iCloud? A. Alarms work only on this device and won't sync to your other devices.

Q. My alarm didn't fire. A. Check Settings → AlarmK for notification permission and Background App Refresh. The Critical Mode checklist diagnoses the most likely causes.
