About this app

The alarm for people who sleep through everything.

Tired of your default alarm that's too easy to dismiss?
Do you sleep through three alarms in a row?
Need schedules that actually fit shift work or complex weeks?
Want to wake up to something you'll actually enjoy hearing?

Early Bird Alarm Clock is built for you.

Since 2011. Still updated, still improving.



🧩 Seven missions to prove you're awake

To turn off the alarm, you complete a mission.
Math, shake, photo, QR code, typing, memory, speaking.
Stack multiple missions for a single alarm.
By the time you're done, you're awake.

🎵 Sounds that actually wake you up

Bold originals like wake-up bugles and cock-a-doodle-doo.
Or any music from your library.
Pick a set of sounds and let it shuffle — so you never get used to it.


📅 A schedule that fits your week

Per-day alarms. Shift-worker patterns (every 3 days, every 7 days). Specific dates.


🌧️ Weather and calendar on your alarm screen

See today's weather and your schedule right as the alarm rings.
Decide if you can sleep a little longer, or if it's time to move.

🌈 Your morning, your style

Easy-on-the-eyes Black. Bold Neo Brutalism.
Cute Apricot. Calm Newspaper. Pick the one that
fits you, and every morning starts your way.

Full dark mode. Android dynamic colors.

🌅 A pleasant way to wake up

Your favorite songs. Your favorite photos. Inspiring quotes.
Start the day on your own terms.

- Home screen and lock screen widgets
- Timer and stopwatch
- Earphone mode — wake up without disturbing others

Ratings and reviews

no longer plays any sound when going off or even previewing. doesn't matter what settings I have selected. My do not disturb setting is off. tried restarting and there was no change. I've tried different ringtones, reading the label, etc. pushing play does nothing. it's just this app. I've been using it for years and now you're telling me to use another app. guess you earned the 1 star review.

I never thought that just the numbers from a generic sans-serif font could actually make me shudder, but there's a first time for everything. Aside from the font -- that manages to be simultaneously absolutely boring, a bit sporty and offensively ugly, this app is fine. Ads unobtrusive. Appropriately dorky icon. Don't think I can stomach that font right before and after sleep though.

I really like several things about this app. The ability to have multiple songs, tests, short snooze, colors, everything is perfect. I don't know that I could live without this. edit: I bought this app in 2019, and I've literally never used anything else. the dev keeps it updated, has never pulled a bait and switch, and has kept it consistent. cheers dev, appreciate you!
