If you are choosing between these apps, you have already made the important decision. A task-based alarm removes the one failure that ordinary alarms cannot: dismissing the sound without waking. What is left is picking the app whose tasks, price, and privacy fit the room you actually wake up in.
Everything here about other apps comes from their public App Store listings and websites on the date above. Prices, missions, and free tiers change often, so confirm the listing before you subscribe. Wakr is built by one independent developer and is not affiliated with any app named on this page.
The short version
Free plan. Wakr Free is the product, not a trial: one alarm, one routine, and any of the 13 missions, with no time limit. Wayk’s listing states that a Pro subscription is required to set alarms after setup, Clucky says every feature needs Clucky Pro, and Erly requires a subscription for full access. Alarmy and SuperAlarm offer free tiers supported by ads and optional upgrades.
What the task is. Alarmy, SuperAlarm, Clucky, and Erly lean on puzzle missions such as math, memory tiles, and typing, alongside some physical or photo tasks. Wakr has no puzzles. All 13 missions are physical actions in your room, such as walking 100 steps, brushing your teeth, leaving the bedroom, or finding bright light, and each one is checked by the sensor that fits it.
Snooze. Wakr has no snooze button and no stop action in the notification. Several competitors keep a configurable snooze that you can disable; Erly also advertises no snooze.
Camera privacy. Wakr examines a frame in memory for one signal, then discards it. Nothing from the camera is uploaded or stored for verification. Compare the App Privacy section of each store listing before choosing an app that points a camera at your bedroom.
What each app does
Alarmy
The category leader and the app most people mean by “alarm with missions.” Missions include math, memory games, shaking, squats, and photo tasks, with anti-snooze and power-off prevention options. Free with ads; a premium plan unlocks more. Available on iPhone and Android. Choose it for the largest catalog and cross-platform support; choose Wakr if you want physical actions only, no snooze at all, and verification that never leaves the phone.
Wayk
Missions include push-ups, a photo of the sky, making your bed, finding a random object, reading a Bible verse or affirmation aloud, and math. Its App Store listing states that an active Wayk Pro subscription is required to set alarms and use missions once setup is complete, so you pay before testing your first morning. Snooze can be enabled. Its privacy label, on the date above, lists usage data that may be used to track you across other apps.
SuperAlarm
Made by Pickyz. Missions include math, memory games, barcode and object scanning, Face ID, walking, and shaking. Free with ads, with optional weekly, monthly, yearly, and lifetime purchases. Snooze count and length are customizable. Its privacy label, on the date above, lists location, identifiers, and usage data that may be used to track you across other apps.
Clucky
A rooster-themed alarm with math, shake, walk, push-up, memory, typing, colour-matching, tilt-maze, registered-photo, and object-hunt missions, up to three per alarm, plus private alarm groups for friends. It is free to download, but its listing states that every feature requires an active Clucky Pro subscription. Its privacy label lists data linked to your identity, including name, user ID, and usage data.
Erly
Made by Glacier Labs. Missions include math, photo identification, and affirmations, with streaks, achievements, and locked deadlines for goals, and no snooze. A subscription is required for full access. Its privacy label, on the date above, lists identifiers and usage data that may be used to track you, plus name and email.
Where Wakr is the wrong choice
Wakr has no math or puzzle missions, so if solving something is what wakes your brain, pick Alarmy or SuperAlarm. Wakr is iPhone-only today, with Android in development. It has no group or social alarms. And it is one developer’s app rather than a company’s, which some people prefer and others do not.

How to choose between them
Start with your failure mode. If you turn alarms off in your sleep, any task-based app helps, and the harder question is which task you cannot fake. If you complete the task and climb back into bed, you need a mission that ends in another room, which is where physical missions beat puzzles.
Then look at the paywall. An app that needs a subscription before the first alarm asks you to trust it before you have tested it on your own phone. A free plan that runs the whole mechanism lets you find out whether task alarms work for you at all.
Then read the privacy label. Camera missions are the most effective kind, and they are also the kind where it matters most what the app does with the frame. On-device verification is a specific, checkable claim, not a slogan.
Common questions
Is Wakr an Alarmy alternative? Yes, for people who want a task-based alarm without puzzles, without a snooze option, and with a free plan that does not expire. It is not a replacement if you rely on Alarmy’s math or memory missions or need Android today.
Does Wakr have math missions? No. Every Wakr mission is a physical action verified by a sensor: steps, motion, pose, brightness, colour, or the presence of handwriting.
Which mission alarm app is free? Wakr Free includes one alarm, one routine, and any of the 13 missions with no time limit. Alarmy and SuperAlarm also have free tiers with ads. Wayk, Clucky, and Erly require a subscription for alarms or full access, according to their listings on the date above.
Can Wakr chain more missions than Clucky? Wakr Pro chains up to five missions in order; Clucky’s listing says up to three per alarm. Wakr Free runs one.
