Larky

Alarm for ADHD brains

The alarm you can't cheat

Larky only stops once you finish a mission — and by then you're awake. A few minutes later it checks again whether you're really up.

How it works

  1. Set an alarm and a mission

    Math, a sequence, the barcode on your coffee or a walk around the flat — pick whatever wakes you up.

  2. Do the mission in the morning

    The alarm keeps ringing until you're done. No silencing it with one swipe, eyes shut.

  3. Stay out of bed

    The wake-up check looks in a few minutes later. If the phone is lying still, the alarm comes back.

9 missions that turn the alarm off

The alarm keeps ringing until you finish a mission. Pick the ones that wake you up:

  • Sequencememorize and repeat
  • Shakethe phone really has to move
  • Balancehold the phone perfectly level
  • Reactionwait for green and tap in time
  • ReflexTapwhack-a-mole with alarm clocks
  • Barcodescan a code you saved earlier, like the one on your coffee
  • Photosnap a randomly drawn object — a model on your phone checks it
  • StepsPROtake a walk before the alarm goes quiet

Every mission has its own rounds and difficulty. Add three missions to an alarm, five with PRO, and save your favourite sets as templates.

More than a ringtone

Wake-up check

Turning the alarm off isn't the end. Larky checks a few minutes later whether you're up and comes back if the phone is lying still. With PRO, build a series of up to six checks, each with its own mission.

EscalationPRO

Still no reaction a minute after full volume? Larky turns the sound to maximum, strengthens the vibration and flashes the torch.

Sleep calculator and Deep Sleep

Enter your wake-up time and the calculator finds a bedtime in 90-minute cycles — or the other way round. Deep Sleep (PRO) reminds you when to go to bed and guides you to sleep.

Streak and badges

Every honest wake-up extends your streak. Badges reward persistence and every mission played — from the first to the three hundredth.

Morning routine

Once the alarm is off, Larky walks you through your own list: water, meds, stretching. One task at a time, with a countdown.

QuickNap

Set a duration or an end time, and a short daytime nap won't turn into three hours.

Stats

What time you really get up and how many snoozes a morning takes. The last week for free, a month and half a year with PRO.

Sound

Gradual volume, forced maximum, snooze limits, silence during missions and your own ringtones.

Questions

Is Larky free?

Yes. The alarm, eight missions and the Lite wake-up check are free, with no time limit and no ads. PRO is optional.

Do I need an account?

No. Larky works fully without one. An account only helps when you switch phones.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet — for now Larky is Android only.

What happens to my alarms after a restart?

They come back on their own: Larky sets them again once the phone restarts.

How do I cancel a subscription?

In the Google Play Store: profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. PRO stays active until the end of the paid period.
