Not-An-Alarm

Not-An-Alarm wakes you up with a briefing written fresh for your day. Instead of a beep, a natural voice tells you the weather, what's on your calendar, the tasks you have due and a few headlines. Then you're up. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your wake time and the days you want it. 2. Pick a voice. Listen to all 30 first, in any of 46 languages. 3. Choose what goes in: the weather for your city, Google Calendar and Tasks, and news on the topics you like. Every morning, just before your alarm, a new briefing is written for that day and read to you. WAKING UP • A full-screen wake-up, even on a locked phone, with captions that follow the voice • A gentle start: a soft chime, then the voice fades in • Snooze picks up where the voice left off, and "I'm up" takes you to your day TODAY • Replay your briefing, or read it • The weather at a glance, with a rain check at the times you head out • Your events, the tasks due today and the ones still open, and the headlines, each one tap away • Say how the morning was, and ask for shorter briefings, less news or more about your day MAKE IT YOURS • Put weather, calendar, tasks and news in the order you want, or switch any of them off • Short, standard or long; friendly, calm, upbeat, to the point or funny • Add anything else in your own words, like "keep the news short" PRIVACY Google Calendar and Tasks are optional. When connected, your events and tasks are read only to write your briefing: they're sent to Google Gemini to write it, with other people's email addresses left out. Your briefings are kept for 30 days so you can replay them, then deleted. You can disconnect Google or delete your account at any time from the app. Not-An-Alarm's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

WHY I MADE IT For too long, waking up has meant the same sound, a quick weather update, nothing that makes you look forward to the day. I wanted an alarm that knows my day and tells it like a story, not a list, so I'm curious about what it will say tomorrow. I thought about it on and off for a decade, and the technology finally caught up.
