GM Alarm [Tools]

GM Alarm

You know, there are people who wakes with a smile. I don’t know why they have such a good mood. Maybe they are happy because a new day begins or because they had a good sleep, who knows? Personally, I can’t do that. I really want but… everything annoys me in the mornings. Especially, the alarm clock. That’s why I started form it. First I changed boring signal. It helped but not for a long time. Then I started changing signal every day. It took a long time: I had to find new melodies (that depended on my mood) and kept in mind all the used ones. I.e. each evening I decided how I want to wake up next morning. If I wanted to wake up slowly then I looked for a calm melody. If I knew it would be hard to wake up then I could even use a fire siren! After a while I had a lot of melodies sorted by their type: relax, extreme and so on… And then I thought what if I create a storage on the Internet and mobile apps (clients) would download random signal from it? So... GM Alarm is the client and galarm.net is the storage(unfortunately, I couldn't publish all the music because of it's copyrights[but I'm working on it]. All the music in the storage is distributed under Creative Commons license, but it's really worth listening!).

Each user can create an alarm in the storage. Each alarm consists of greeting (message that will be shown when alarm runs), alarm melody and description (if you want to know what woke you this morning:)).
Alarms are sorted by languages and categories. Language concerns to greeting text, melody and melody description. Personally, I would combine categories and locales. Server side application ensures that the alarms you get won’t repeat…so each you awakening is unique and absolutely unpredictable!
And the last thing: I decied to add the ability to post messages on Twitter as soon as you press "wake" button. It's a social alarm, isn't it?)))

Release 1.8. is published in Android Market. You can control your alarm clock (snooze or disable the signal) by shaking the phone!!! It's really convenient. This feature has to be enabled in the Preferences. Please, update your app.
 
Release 1.9.1. is published.
Some bugs were fixed and
1. Now you can set snooze and emergency time for each alarm. And you can set any time you want (from 0 to 60 minutes)
2. There is a special screen (activity) for shake calibration. Go to menu->preferences->shake section and change "skake force" or "shake count" then you'll see this screen and will be able to test new shake parameters.
I've been using snooze by shake for a long time... It's really convenient!

Please update.
