Heckle: No Snooze Alarm Clock

Itofi Labs

About this app

Your friends wake you up. Good luck.

Heckle is a no snooze alarm clock — the alarm app you can't cheat. A friend
picks the time, picks the challenge, and you don't get to turn it off until
you've finished it. Forget loud alarm clock apps you sleep straight through.
This is a wake up alarm someone else controls.

Tried every heavy sleeper alarm clock trick already? Loud alarm sounds,
vibrating alarms, alarm clock for heavy sleepers apps with sirens and
foghorns — if you're still sleeping through them, the volume was never
the problem. Heckle is the alarm for heavy sleepers free download that
adds a person instead of a decibel.

━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━

1. Add a friend by email, or start a group
2. Set an alarm for them — they approve it first, so no unwanted surprises
3. When it rings, they have to finish the challenge to stop it
4. Everyone finds out who got up and who didn't

━━━ IT RINGS ON SILENT ━━━

A no snooze alarm clock alarm app that doesn't fire is worthless, so this
is where most of the work went.

- Alarm-priority audio — loud alarm sounds that ring through Silent and
Do Not Disturb
- Fires offline — no internet needed at wake up time
- Survives reboots — alarms reschedule themselves automatically
- Exact scheduling that beats battery optimisation
- Full screen wake over the lock screen
- Works even if the person who set it is asleep in another timezone

━━━ NO SNOOZE ALARM, REAL CHALLENGES ━━━

A challenge alarm clock you can dismiss half-asleep isn't a no snooze
alarm at all. Every Heckle alarm ends with a task — no snooze alarm free,
no shortcuts:

- Math alarm — solve it before your brain reboots
- Memory alarm — watch the pattern, then repeat it
- Shake alarm — rattle the phone until it stops
- Colour alarm — the word says BLUE, printed in red. Name the ink
- Count alarm — count the stars hiding among the sparkles
- Selfie alarm — prove you're actually vertical
- Type alarm — type the sentence your friend wrote for you

Stack as many as you like. They have to finish all of them, in order.
This is what a real wake up to time commitment looks like — no snooze
alarm clock, no excuses.

━━━ YOU FIND OUT EITHER WAY ━━━

Set an alarm for someone and you get told what happened. "They're up!"
or "They missed it." No asking, no wondering.

- Wake-up proof — a timestamped selfie lands in the morning feed
- Streaks — a run of on-time mornings, visible to everyone
- Leaderboards — compete with friends or your whole group
- Badges — earned for consistency, not for one good day
- Morning feed — react to the chaos, leave a voice note

━━━ GROUP ALARMS ━━━

Roommates. Gym partners. Study groups. Long-distance friends across
timezones. One shared alarm wakes everyone, and you all see who folds
first.

Great for:
- Waking up a friend who never answers their phone
- Gym accountability partners
- Study groups and exam season
- Couples in different timezones
- Anyone who has ever slept through something important

━━━ WHY A SOCIAL ALARM WORKS ━━━

Every other alarm clock fails for the same reason: at 6am you're
negotiating with yourself, and you always lose. A loud alarm clock for
heavy sleepers still gets snoozed. A challenge still gets solved on
autopilot when nobody's watching.

Heckle adds a second person. Your friend knows whether you got up.
That changes everything.

Download Heckle — the no snooze alarm clock free download — then send
it to your least punctual friend.
