Where Beyond Alarm pulls ahead
Missions that need you on your feet
A maths problem wakes your brain; a set of squats wakes the rest of you. Beyond Alarm's camera missions count real reps with on-device pose detection, and you can stack up to five missions — say, a photo of the kitchen, then ten squats.
Nothing locked behind a paywall right now
Every mission, including the barcode and the camera ones, is free during the current promotion. Pro is there if you want to remove the ads.
It looks after the morning, not just the alarm
Once the mission is done, Morning Lockout keeps the apps you chose shut for the time you set, so the alarm doesn't hand you straight to a feed. On Android it can lock the whole phone, calls still allowed, and an optional setting stops the phone being switched off while the alarm rings.
Beyond Alarm
Beyond Alarm does this part for you: the alarm will not switch off until you have actually moved, and the apps you pick stay locked afterwards.
What Alarm Clock Xtreme offers
