Wake N Shake Merciless Alarm Clock for iPhones

Brian Yalung — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 09:04:11 +0000

In what has to be another innovative way to really get you up, the Wake N Shake: The Merciless Alarm Clock for the iPhone should get some blood flowing and get you up and about if you want to shut off the annoying alarm.

Apparently, users have to shake it to shut off the alarm. And mind you, this shouldn’t be just any ordinary shake. You have to shake it as convincingly as you can until the app believes that you are truly up. If not, expect annoying sounds such as an evil laugh or a hungry bear to keep on sounding off to keep on bugging you until you are really awake.

The app is available for free over at the iTunes app store although you can get a premium version that costs only $0.99 which comes with more libraries of alarm sounds.

The app promises to safeguard drivers, especially the ones who get drowsy while they are behind the wheel. With the app, users can create a customized fatigue profile based on situational factors.
