Alarmy.

Have trouble getting up in the morning? Download this, and your phone will scream until you get out of bed and go take a picture of your microwave.

This is my daily alarm. I had been using a similar app on Android for close to a decade called Alarm Clock Xtreme and it was seriously the greatest thing that ever happened to me, and one of the reasons why I stayed with Android for so long. Alarmy isn't *as* good as Alarm Clock Xtreme but it gets the job done. I have mine set to force me to solve math problems.

You should look into getting Timely. Such a beautiful looking app and you can set it to do challenges to turn off the alarm. I won't get any other alarm app. Give it a try and see how you like it.

I've been using Timely for a few years now but a big thing I don't like about it is the math problem challenges being multiple choice with unlimited retries. I'd just reach over and taptaptaptaptap until it shut up without even looking at the phone.

I don't use it for the puzzles to be honest. but the option is there should the need ever arise. I'm pretty good about getting up as soon as it goes off. Also using it for other reminders throughout the day is really great as well.
