CluckClock
The most emotionally motivating loud alarm clock for heavy sleepers and ADHD brains.
Watch the app in use—alarm, worm game, and coop.
It’s not laziness. The science explains why standard alarms fail—and why CluckClock is built for the way your brain actually works.
The grogginess you feel when the alarm goes off is a real transitional state. Your brain is still shifting from sleep to wake—and cognitive performance is temporarily lower. Hitting snooze or solving a simple math problem doesn’t require enough engagement to truly clear that fog.
If you have ADHD, “time blindness” and executive dysfunction make it easy to ignore or dismiss alarms. Standard alarms don’t create enough emotional stakes or immediate, tangible consequences—so your brain doesn’t prioritize getting up.
A short, focused mission that forces your eyes and hands to engage—without burning you out before you’ve had coffee.
Tap the three worm plots in a 2×2 grid. Unlike competitors that demand math or squats, this is a tiny pet-care game that clears your head in seconds. Enough to break sleep inertia; not so much that you give up.
Tap a fake worm and you lose. The trap mechanic forces real visual focus and coordination—so you have to be truly awake before the sound stops. No half-asleep tap-and-dismiss.
The science and design behind CluckClock—why it gets you out of bed when other alarms don’t.
Different chickens guard different parts of your week—and your biggest milestones.
Your daily weekday guardian. Mon–Fri.
Protects your Saturday and Sunday streaks.
The ultimate test of 30-day discipline.
Your biggest milestone—a year of mornings.
When your chicken dies, it stays dead. That’s the point.
Stay consistent; get rewarded. A healthy chicken lays an egg every 3 days.
Play-to-earn mornings. Feed your chicken three worms, day after day, and it stays healthy. Every 3 days it lays an egg—unlocking progress toward new chicken tiers (Monthly Sentinel, Yearly Phoenix) and giving you a tangible reward for showing up.
See how you stack up. (Coming soon: live leaderboard.)
No “bad programming.” We built CluckClock so the chicken always crows when it should—and your phone doesn’t pay the price.
iOS Time-Sensitive Notifications and Swift/SwiftUI ensure the alarm fires at the set time, even when the app is in the background. The chicken crows. Every time.
Designed to avoid the 0% battery drain of background-heavy sleep trackers. We don’t run constant monitoring—just alarms and timers that respect your device.
