A new alarm clock app wakes up sleepy users by making them solve complicated math equations, logic games and puzzles before its loud tone shuts off.
To utilise the 'FreakyAlarm' app, users who find it hard to wake can take and save photos on their smartphone before they go to bed of random objects and barcodes around the house.
Then, when the alarm goes off in the morning, users must get up and take a photo of the same object or barcode.
Until they do, the alarm will continue to sound, creating an annoying, but functional, way to get you out of bed, New York Daily News reported.
There is also an 'evil' setting, where users must complete math equations that are difficult to solve, even when wide awake.
Other grogginess-eliminating tricks from the app include a game where the user must pop 'alarm bubbles' in a particular order, a game that resembles 'Memory', and tape certain shapes a specific number of times.
A sharp tone will continue to sound until the task has been completed.
FreakyAlarm app is available for USD 1.99.
