About this app

Wake up sharp. Checkmate Alarm is the alarm clock that won't switch off until you solve a chess puzzle — so you're actually awake before you can reach for snooze. Most alarms are too easy to dismiss half-asleep. This one makes your brain do one clever thing first: find the checkmate. By the time you've solved it, you're up. HOW IT WORKS • Set an alarm like normal. • When it rings, a chess puzzle appears. • Solve it to dismiss the alarm. That's it. BUILT FOR • Heavy sleepers and snooze addicts who need more than a loud noise. • Chess players who want to start every morning with a tactic. • Anyone building a sharper morning routine. PLAY YOUR WAY • Checkmate puzzles — mate in 1, 2, or 3. • Tactical modes — forks, pins, endgames and more. • Difficulty that adapts to your rating as you improve. • A free Daily Puzzle and a Practice mode for any time of day. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Puzzle rating, solve streaks, fastest solves, and a week-at-a-glance view. • Home Screen widgets for your next alarm, today's puzzle, and your streak. MAKE IT YOURS • Dark and light themes, accent colors, and board styles. FREE & PRO Checkmate Alarm is free with one alarm and checkmate puzzles. Upgrade to Checkmate Pro for unlimited alarms, every difficulty, all tactical modes, board and accent themes, and detailed stats — starting with a 7-day free trial. Beat the snooze.
