What is Alarm Clock for Android?
It is a configurable Android alarm app created by indie developer adrianillo. In addition to standard alarms, it offers controls using light, movement and physical buttons.
How does light control work?
The app uses the phone's ambient light sensor. When it detects that the room has become brighter, it can stop or snooze the alarm according to the selected action and sensitivity.
Can I turn off the alarm with my phone away from my bed?
Yes. Leave your phone away from your bed, in the same bedroom, and enable light control. When the alarm sounds, turn on the bedroom light to stop or snooze it, according to your chosen action, without reaching for or touching the phone. The phone needs an ambient light sensor that is uncovered and receives the light at the configured sensitivity.
Is the app easy to set up and use?
Yes. The app has a simple, clear interface: choose the time, enable the alarm and adjust the options you need. To turn it off with light, enable that control and choose stop or snooze. The sensor sensitivity is adjustable to suit your bedroom.
Can I stop or snooze without touching the screen?
Yes. You can assign stop or snooze to switching on the light, shaking the phone or pressing its volume buttons.
Does it support your own music and gradual volume?
Yes. You can choose device tones or MP3 files and make the volume rise progressively to the configured level.
Does the alarm sound when the phone is switched off?
No. As with Android alarm apps, the device must remain powered on. Aggressive battery optimizers can also interfere with its operation.
Which languages is the app available in?
The app is available in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
Where can Alarm Clock be downloaded?
It can be downloaded from the official Google Play listing.
