Hi,

I develop several web and android apps with Lightning: https://kriptode.com/ (https://kriptode.com/)

I recently released Bit Alarm https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pseudozach.bitalarm (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pseudozach.bitalarm)

It's an alarm app that starts a counter when you snooze your alarm and donates the collected satoshis to any twitter account via social tipping by bottle.li.

There's a custodial wallet inside the app and you can fund it a small amount for testing. The idea is to incentivize not snoozing and waking right up.

All feedback welcome, cheers,

The idea seems pretty, I liked it despite the risk of downloading an application from an unknown source.
It is best to leave the option for the user to choose who to donate, for example, charitable organizations, Wikipedia or even to buy books instead.
What happens if I don't have SAT in my wallet? It is best to add lightning transfers between members. For example, if you fall asleep, money will be sent to my friend.

You have the option to set who to donate to. You can set it to any twitter account like torproject or btcpayserver.
I'll also open source the app so it will be easier to trust. But for small amounts it should be ok.

Looks like a modern version of those alarm clocks that will shred your money unless you wake up and turn it off without a certain amount of time;

Something like this ^^

Would be interesting to see you make a gamified version of it, so that the person actually has to wake up and play the game for a couple of minutes before it releases the stranglehold on the BTC  ;D

Have you got anything in the works to help with productivity? I'd love to have some sort of system like this to light a fire up my ass and get me working hard!

Spot on. That's a great idea actually. Maybe I ought to expand on this idea for all sorts of motivation.

Any plans to release an iOS version of it?

Getting apps like this approved on the app store will be an absolute nightmare, so I wouldn't count on it.

Might be easier just to produce a webapp or something, that way all mobile users can use it.

True. Although I'm not sure it's possible to implement a reliable alarm clock done using a web app

it's very helpful app easy to use. wonderful app. helpful for everybody.

Very cool app, will try it out. I set up a Bottle account yesterday ;D.

exactly, you need native capability to do an alarm.
