The issue of trusting friends and family to choose your alarm sound & or create an alarm greeting is one we struggled with for sometime.

We chose to better control the experience then rather it be open. With control there is no doubt the user experience is similar to waking up to an FM radio, but better. If it’s open then it is open for abuse and users may wake you to something horrid. When you create new technology it has to better people’s lives over what they are used to using. We feel we have achieved this goal, yet still have work to do to make it even better.

As noted our work remains a work in progress. We enjoy seeing people/companies across the world spend their resources on this concept too.

Sincerely,
