WakeSharp vs Alarmy
Both are alarm clocks for heavy sleepers that ask you to do something before the morning counts. They make different trade-offs. This page is written by WakeSharp, so it is worth reading with that in mind: every Alarmy fact below comes from Alarmy’s own App Store listing or website, and where those are silent, the table says so instead of guessing.
At a glance
Alarmy facts were checked against its US iPhone listing and official website on September 28, 2026. WakeSharp’s feature column describes the live iPhone 2.14 release. WakeSharp 2.14 is also live on Android. Platform controls and permissions can differ for both apps. Prices vary by country.
| WakeSharp | Alarmy | |
|---|---|---|
| How it is sold | WakeSharp Unlimited: a 7-day free trial of the yearly plan, then $34.99 a year, or $4.99 a month with no trial | Free to download, with optional paid features; check the store for current local prices |
| Wake-up missions | Arithmetic, memory, sequence, colour and typing puzzles; a photo of a spot you chose; a real object across the room; finding something; a face check; steps; daylight at a window; naming five things out loud; or a surprise | Math, memory game, shake, typing, QR and barcode scanning, walking and photo |
| Sleep and snore tracking | None: WakeSharp does no sleep tracking | A sleep tracker with snore recording |
| Sleep sounds | Optional wind-down audio | Calm sleep sounds, ASMR and rain |
| A check that the alarm will ring | Settings > Alarm reliability reads permissions, volume, notifications, lock-screen takeover and battery restrictions | Not mentioned in its listing |
| Alarms that follow your calendar | Smart alarms can move when your first meeting moves; calendar content stays on the phone | Not mentioned in its listing |
| A score for how you woke up | A daily Sharpness Score, optional brain warm-ups, history and badges | Not mentioned in its listing |
Choose Alarmy if…
- You want to start without paying. Alarmy’s website says its essential features are available without payment, with additional paid features.
- You want sleep and snore tracking. Alarmy includes a sleep tracker that records snoring. WakeSharp does no sleep tracking at all, on purpose.
- You want a physical mission. Alarmy lists shaking and other movement tasks. Compare the exact missions available on your phone.
Choose WakeSharp if…
- You want no ads in your face at 6am. WakeSharp shows none.
- You want to know tonight whether it will ring. The alarm reliability check reads the settings that actually stop alarms and leads with a verdict: it will ring, it may not, or it cannot.
- Your wake time depends on your calendar. Smart alarms can move when your first meeting moves, with the calendar read on the phone.
- You want a mission that needs your brain, not just your legs. Arithmetic, memory and word puzzles, a photo of a spot you chose, steps or daylight at a window, or an answer said out loud, several in a row if you like.
- You want to see how sharp you actually woke up. Review the daily Sharpness Score, with optional warm-ups and a history of your mornings. It is not a medical assessment.
What neither of them can do
No alarm app can ring on a phone that is switched off or out of battery, and none can promise you will get up. Your phone’s own controls always work, which is how it should be. For a morning you truly cannot miss, set a second alarm on a separate device, whichever app you choose.
Alarmy is not the only choice. We compare six alarm apps, and the clock your phone already has, inthe best alarm apps for heavy sleepers.
