Pros
Pro Highly customizable
Every feature, especially the tasks, can be customized to a great extent so that it works in the best way for you needs.
Pro Awake test
This feature is a fallback in case the user turns off their alarm and goes right back to sleep. The awake test is an optional second alarm that will go off to ensure the user is either already up or to reawaken them. If the user fails to turn off this alarm after a set period of time, the primary alarm (and all of the possible wake up task(s)) goes off again.
Pro Most wake up tasks
8 available wake up tasks can be enabled. Yes, upon waking up, you can force yourself to complete 8 tasks before the alarm can be turned off. These tasks can be customized. The difficulty levels for some of the tasks can be altered depending on how grueling you want your wake up to be. It is even possible to set the alarm to have a random number of tasks.
Pro 'After finish' application
Want an app to automatically open up after the alarm is turned off? This makes it possible.
Pro General settings
Just like most alarm clock apps, this one provides the options to set appearance, notifications, alarm screen, smooth wake ups, time format, and custom alarm tones.
Pro Sleeping tips and tricks
This app provides guides on how to go to sleep (what to eat and other strategies), how to stay awake, and more reading material to learn about sleep. All of these guides are local on the app, no internet connection needed. Best of all is the guide on how to use SleepBot to make it the most effective it can be.
Pro Wakes you up at the appropriate moment
SleepBot uses motion to detect when you are in your lightest sleep. It can then wake you up with a gradually increasing volume alarm when you will wake up the least tired.
