Clucky’s new alarm app wakes you up with a crowing rooster
Clucky's new alarm app has an option where users are woken up to the sound of a rooster. They then complete a mission to turn it off.
An alarming new iPhone app, named Clucky, aims to help early risers by waking them up with the sound of a crowing rooster. Although this user may not reside on a farm, the app provides an innovative approach to combat habitual snoozers. Clucky's unique selling point is the option to be awakened by the bird's crow, followed by a mission that must be completed before turning off the alarm.
This strategy is part of a broader category of alarm apps, such as Alarmy and Awake, which utilize challenges to prevent users from simply silencing their alarms and returning to sleep.
The app's humor lies in the ridiculousness of the tasks, which range from solving math problems and memorizing tiles, to shaking the phone, walking, doing push-ups, tilting a ball toward a goal, and completing an AI camera challenge. A "Rooster Report" is generated for the week, grading the user's wake-up performance. Additionally, Clucky allows users to create private alarm groups, or "Nests" or "Flocks," with friends or family to keep each other accountable.
Founded by Adrian Angelo Abelarde, a former software engineer at Fanatics, Clucky is available for download on the App Store. A pro subscription costs $39.99 per year.
