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

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!

I used this app for three years. I enjoyed the fact that you can set alarms for specific days. There's lots of customization on how to set your alarms. For the first while of this app, there were no ads. The past two years there have been banners. Some of them were very obvious scams, literally saying click now or something. There's a premium which will remove them based on a subscription service. This app served its purpose for me. I'm going to move on to an alarm app that doesn't feel invasive
