Wake-up missions
Set alarms that keep ringing until you finish a wake-up mission, so dismissal depends on completing the task rather than tapping once and drifting back to sleep.
What Clucky does
Clucky is an iPhone alarm clock app built around a single idea: the alarm should not stop until you complete a wake-up mission. Instead of relying on a swipe or a tap, it uses tasks that force you to move, think, or interact with the camera before the rooster quiets down.
The app is free to download from the App Store, but the page states that the described features require a Clucky Pro subscription purchased separately in the app. It supports solo alarms without an account, and it also offers an optional Flock mode for friends who want to wake together and compare results.
Clucky’s alarm behavior is built on Apple’s AlarmKit, which the site describes as the same machinery as the system alarm. The product page also emphasizes that alarms, missions, and camera checks stay on the iPhone, while Flock syncs only with invited friends.
Core capabilities
Mission variety
Choose from a range of mission types, including math problems, shaking, walking steps, push-ups, memory patterns, wake-up phrases, color matching, maze tilting, registered photo capture, and camera-based object hunting.
Mission stacking and difficulty
Stack up to three missions on a single alarm and select the difficulty that fits the morning routine you want to enforce.
Extra loud mode and ringer check
Clucky raises media volume while ringing and includes a built-in Ringer Check so you can test how loud the alarm will be before it matters.
Progress tracking and glanceable status
Track wake times, mission counts, dismissal speed, and streak progress with Morning Stats and wake history, plus widgets, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island support for visibility.
Optional friend groups
Create or join a Flock alarm group to share one crow time, see who is awake, send nudges, and compare the weekly Roost Board. Solo alarms stay on the device and do not require an account.
When Clucky is useful
Heavy snoozers who need friction
People who can dismiss ordinary alarms without fully waking up can use Clucky’s missions to force a more active wake-up sequence before the alarm ends.
Friends waking together
Users who want to compare morning routines with friends can use Flock to share one alarm time, send nudges, and check the weekly Roost Board.
Tracking consistency and streaks
Anyone who wants to review how they’re doing over time can use Morning Stats and wake history to see wake times, mission counts, dismissal speed, and streak progress.
Customizing a tougher alarm
People who want a more demanding alarm can stack up to three different missions, such as math, movement, or a camera check, to make dismissal harder.
Checking alarm readiness
Users who want a quick confidence check before bed can run the built-in Ringer Check to hear how loud the alarm will be and confirm it is set up correctly.
