About this app

🚀 THE ALARM CLOCK THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
Most alarm apps let you tap "dismiss" and roll straight back to sleep. Orbit Alarm doesn't. Every alarm launches a real Wake-Up Mission — a challenge you have to actually complete, fully conscious, before the siren stops. No shortcuts. No loopholes. No regretting it at 9am when you've missed the meeting.

⚡ FIVE WAYS TO PROVE YOU'RE AWAKE
Pick whichever mission suits how you oversleep:
* MATH — solve real equations, not tap a "yes I'm awake" button
* SHAKE — physically move the phone until the counter's satisfied
* TAP — chase a target around the screen until you've truly woken up
* SCAN — get out of bed and scan a barcode you registered earlier (the bathroom toothpaste works great)
* Mix and match per alarm — the meeting-day alarm can be brutal, the lazy-Sunday one gentle

🧠 IF STARTING THINGS IS THE HARD PART
Task paralysis, executive dysfunction, time blindness — if any of those are familiar, you already know that knowing what to do isn't the problem. The barcode gate forces the one thing that actually breaks the freeze: a physical first step. Walk to the thing, scan it, and you're already moving before your brain had time to argue. It works exactly the same way for the Tasks feature below, not just alarms.

🔒 BUILT TO RESIST YOU
We know the 6am version of you will try everything to get back to sleep, so Orbit Alarm is built to stop that version of you specifically:
* The alarm locks to full volume the instant it rings — turning your phone's volume down mid-ring doesn't work
* Snoozing is capped per alarm, with the count shown on-screen, so "just five more minutes" can't become forty
* Emergency Dismiss still exists for genuine emergencies, but it's deliberately punishing to use — a real skill-based challenge, not a free pass
* Survives Do Not Disturb, battery optimisation, and even swiping the app away — it keeps ringing

🌌 STASIS POD — WIND DOWN LIKE YOU MEANT TO
Falling asleep is half the problem. The Stasis Pod is a full-screen ambient visual and soundscape space to drift off in, paired with a bedtime signal that nudges you toward bed at the right time — with its own optional barcode lock, so "just five more minutes" doesn't happen at night either.

☀️ A REASON TO ACTUALLY GET UP
Dismiss your alarm and you're greeted with today's local weather forecast and a short daily insight — a genuine reason to check your phone that isn't doom-scrolling, right when you need the nudge most.

✅ TASKS & TIMERS, THE SAME WAY
Beyond the morning alarm, Orbit Alarm handles the rest of your day:
* TASKS — scheduled reminders through the day, with the same optional barcode gate for the ones you genuinely can't afford to skip
* TIMERS — chained countdown sequences (cooking, workouts, focus blocks) with gates between steps if you need them
🎵 FOURTEEN ORIGINAL ALARM TONES
From gentle synth chimes to full red-alert klaxons, every tone is an original sci-fi composition — including a gradual wake-up ramp that builds in volume, and a randomiser that keeps every morning a little different.

🔐 YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
No account. No cloud sync. Your alarms, barcodes, and preferences live on your device, not our servers. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Orbit Alarm is free, supported by ads. You choose whether those ads are personalised when you first open the app, and you can change your mind any time in Settings.

What’s new

Fixed: turning down the bedtime signal, a task chime or a timer chime used to lower your phone's alarm volume for good, which could leave a later alarm too quiet to hear. Your volume is now put back afterwards.

Bedtime signals, tasks and timer blocks that require a barcode scan now hold full volume until you scan, so the lock can't be silenced.

Also fixed text being cut off on the welcome screens at large font sizes.
