I really like the idea but I do see one problem with the premise. I've been programmed to jolt awake from the sound of my alarm. I've been listening to the same alarm for years and my body just knows it has to GET UP NOW when that noise is made. Hell even if I hear it halfway through the day it's like I feel a static shock.
Perhaps it could play a base line noise that's guaranteed to wake you up and fade into the music?
- kuczmama 10y agoThat's a good point, I think a lot of people feel the same way. One option as a "workaround" for now until I have time to build something out, would be to use your current phone's default alarm and then use jolt on top of it. For example if you woke up at 7AM. You could set your normal alarm at 7AM and then Jolt at 7:01AM. Now you just doubled your chance of getting up and you have some cool music to listen to too.
- dabernathy89 10y agoThat's funny, I think I'm the opposite. If I use the same tone too often my brain begins to ignore it. I've gotten around this in the past by using my ringtone, but I don't like starting the day with a feeling of panic.
- kuczmama 10y agoI'm the same way. That's why I built jolt.
