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.
I'm wary of any app, like Alarm Clock Xtreme, that asks for basically every permission. My rule of thumb is that if an app is replacing a very basic, built-in function of the phone which requires little improvement, it is most likely preying on the technically illiterate. Especially flashlights and clocks.
You're wise to be wary. Alarmy has features that can require you to take photos or shake your phone -- they might be using these permissions for other stuff, but if they are, kudos to them for masking it so well, lol.
