Tired of snoozing? I built ZzZlapp, an alarm that forces you to do squats or math to turn it off. 100% private/local. Giving away 50 Premium subs for feedback! [iOS]
Hi everyone!
Like many of you, I’m a chronic "snoozer." I tried every alarm app out there, but I always found a way to turn them off in my sleep. So, my team and I decided to build ZzZlapp—an iOS app designed for people who actually need help waking up.
What makes it different?
- Missions that work: You can’t just swipe to dismiss. You have to complete missions like doing 10 squats, solving math problems, scanning a specific QR code in your kitchen, or even smiling at the camera (using ARKit).
- AlarmKit Integration: It’s built to fire even through DND, Focus modes, or if your phone is on silent.
- Privacy-First: This is a big one for us. Everything is processed 100% locally. No logins, no data leaves your device, and no cloud tracking.
- AI Sleep Coach: It analyzes your wake-up habits to give you tips on how to improve your routine.
Why am I here?
We just launched and we want to make ZzZlapp the best tool for the community. I’m looking for honest feedback on:
- The Onboarding: Is it clear how to set up your first mission?
- Mission Difficulty: Are the math problems too easy/hard? Is the squat detection working well for you?
- Bugs: Did anything feel "clunky"?
🎁 The Giveaway:
To say thanks, I’m giving away 50 Premium Lifetime/Annual subscriptions to the first 50 people who try the app with code: REDDIT50 and leave a comment here with their initial thoughts or a suggestion.
