Alarm clock app for Android
Wakzuno rings until you solve a sum. There is no button that simply makes it stop, so by the time your phone is quiet you are properly awake. And you are never shown an advert at that moment.
Free, works offline, no account. Dutch and English.
Ad-free for €3.59 a year
Everything below works on the free version. The subscription only takes the adverts away.
The alarm stops when you get a sum right, not when you tap something. Ignore it, swipe it away or close the app and it is back within a minute, for as long as it takes. Three difficulty levels, and you decide how many you have to get right in a row.
No advert on the alarm screen or during a challenge. Ever. That is a promise, not a setting you have to go and find.
Nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to. Your alarms stay on your phone and still ring in aeroplane mode.
Each with its own days of the week, name and sound. Skip a single morning without deleting the alarm you rely on.
Alarm tones made for the app, or any audio file from your phone. Volume per alarm, rising gradually if you would rather not be startled.
You set how long a snooze lasts and how many you get, including none. You decide that while you are awake enough to mean it.
Both fully translated. The app follows your phone’s language, and you can pick the other one in settings.
Settings shows which permissions an alarm needs and which are missing, so “why didn’t it go off?” has an answer you can fix. Your alarms survive a restart.
No adverts on the alarm screen or during a challenge. Ever. Waking up is the moment a person is least able to agree to anything, and an alarm clock that sells you something right then is not an alarm clock, it is a billboard with a snooze button.
Wakzuno is free, and free users do see adverts, on the alarm list and in settings, the two calm screens where they can do no harm. Taking them away costs €3.59 a year. The wake moment itself never changes either way.
What people want to know before they trust an alarm clock to get them up.
You cannot turn Wakzuno off by tapping a button. The alarm stops only when you solve a sum, and if you ignore it, swipe it away or close the app, it comes back within a minute and keeps coming back until you solve it. So you are genuinely awake by the time your phone is quiet, instead of half asleep and switching it off without remembering.
No, and it never will. There is no advertising on the alarm screen or during a challenge. Adverts appear only on the alarm list and the settings screen, and the ad-free subscription removes them everywhere.
Yes. There is no account and nothing to sign in to. Your alarms are kept on your own phone and ring whether or not you are online.
Sums, in three levels of difficulty. You decide how hard they are and how many you have to get right in a row before the alarm stops.
No. Wakzuno is an app for Android phones and tablets.
The app is free, and every alarm feature works without paying. Free users see adverts on the alarm list and the settings screen, never while an alarm is ringing. Removing those adverts costs €3.59 a year.
Dutch and English, both fully translated. The app follows the language of your phone, and you can pick the other one in settings at any time.
To save battery, Android is allowed to hold back apps that are not on screen, which for an alarm clock means ringing late or not at all. Wakzuno asks to be left out of battery saving and to be allowed to ring on the exact minute. Settings explains each permission in plain words and shows you which ones are still missing.
