Clucky, a new iPhone alarm app launched in September 2026, offers a unique wake-up experience by using the sound of a crowing rooster to get users out of bed. Designed for those who struggle with snoozing, the app pairs this distinctive alarm noise with interactive missions that must be completed before the alarm can be turned off. This approach joins other apps like Alarmy and Awake, which use engaging tasks to prevent users from simply dismissing alarms and falling back asleep.

In addition to the quirky rooster option, Clucky provides a range of alarm sounds to suit different preferences, including gentle chimes, birdsong, and classic digital beeps. There’s also an “Extra Loud Mode” that maximizes volume immediately to ensure users wake up. The missions accompanying the alarms are varied and challenging, such as solving math problems, memory games, physical activities like push-ups or walking, and even AI camera challenges, all intended to fully rouse users.

Clucky tracks user performance through a detailed stats section that measures the average time it takes to complete wake-up missions and how many tasks have been beaten overall. It also gives users a “Rooster Report,” which grades their performance weekly. A social feature called “Nest” or “Flock” allows friends or family members to create private groups that wake up simultaneously and support each other toward better morning routines.

The app was developed by Adrian Angelo Abelarde, a former software engineer at Fanatics. Currently, Clucky is available for download on the App Store, with an optional pro subscription costing $39.99 per year for users who want enhanced features. The app aims to make waking up both engaging and fun through its blend of humor and practical waking methods.
