WakeQuest Alarm

An alarm that only stops after you do a small task—snap an object or solve a quick puzzle

Problem

Plenty of people swipe off the morning alarm and go back to sleep, not even remembering it. Task alarms on the market force sign-ups, show ads, or simply won't stop ringing until uninstalled, so some users end up writing their own clean one.

Solution

A local-first alarm app where ringing only stops after a task: photograph a designated object (like your cat) or solve a number puzzle, with an offline puzzle fallback if recognition fails. A system stop button is always available, no accounts, no ads, data on device.

Users

Heavy sleepers, students and commuters who need to force themselves out of bed

MVP

System-level alarm that rings in silent and focus modes; photo recognition to unlock; offline numeric task fallback; holiday schedule and multiple tasks; an always-available system stop button

Revenue

Free base plus Pro one-time purchase or quarterly subscription for multiple alarms and task types

Why now

System alarm APIs are opening to third parties, and users are fed up with ad-driven tools; a small standalone app can reach MVP in two weeks and grow via store traffic
