Quick answer

An alarm clock you can only stop with a QR code or a math problem

NoChoice Alarm is an alarm clock designed so you can't go back to sleep: to stop the ringing, you must scan a QR code and/or solve a math problem.

Features: - Stop the alarm with a QR code, a math problem, or both - One shared QR code for all alarms, or an individual QR code per alarm - Save the QR code to your gallery or print it on an A4 page - Works on top of the lock screen without ever unlocking your phone - Built-in flash button in the scanner for scanning in the dark - Gradual volume, optional vibration, snooze and test mode - Duplicate alarms in one tap - Interface in English and French

Privacy: - No Internet permission: the app never sends any data - No ads, no trackers - All data stays on your phone

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
