You always wanted to be a morning person, but you often fell prey to the “snooze” button and returned to your dream world. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. It’s time to say goodbye to the snooze button forever. Let us introduce you to Top 10 Apps that will help you rise and shine!
1. Morning Routine
This one is for those who have some tasks to do in the morning and set a routine to keep their mind and body active once they wake up. You can set time for your morning workout, meditation, breakfast, or shower to boost you for the rest of the day.
Price: $1.99
Available in: iOS and Android
2. Sleep Cycle
This interesting app monitors your REM cycle. We know that Rapid Eye Movement is the best sleep stage, and this app makes sure you wake up after completing this cycle. Instead of feeling groggy, you would feel fresh and happy. The SleepCycle alarm clock monitors your movements to determine the time of the deepest stage of sleep. You set a 30 min window when you wish to get up, and the app wakes you at optimal REM sleep time.
Price: Free
Available in: iOS and Android
3. Calm
This app is for those who like to begin their morning with meditation. It makes you calm and composed to reduce the stress of the hectic day ahead. It has a couple of breathing exercises that will help your mind and body to feel fresh.
Available in: iOS, Android and Desktop
4. Poncho
For those who like to see the weather forecast every day for planning their routine, this app is the best! This app has a soothing interface and will even warn you if you are going to have a bad hair day. Cool, right?
Available in: iOS only
5. ‘The Rock’ Clock
Yup, you guessed it right! This app is brought to you by Dwayne Johnson aka “The Rock.” This app is not just an alarm but also a motivational speaker with alarm prompts followed by quotes from The Rock. Some of them are recorded by the celebrity himself. You also have the option to synchronize your routine with that of The Rock, but mind you, he gets up every morning at 4:30 a.m!
Available in: iOS and Android
6. Stitcher
Who likes to listen to Radio in the morning? Well, this app is for you. Stitcher offers you an internet radio where you can listen to incredible shows in the morning and news while getting ready in the morning. A good story that made you smile or a thought-provoking quote can be a good starter for your day.
Available in: iOS, Android and Desktop
7. Momentum
This app is available as an extension for Chrome. It motivates and reminds you to get your breakfast and lunch on time, and also acts as your cheerleader.
Available in: Chrome
8. Mealboard
This app helps you to prepare your meals ahead of time, so you don’t have to go to the kitchen every morning. Mealboard has some easy-to-prepare dishes that will save your time in the morning. You can sleep longer and spend more time gussying up.
Available in: iOS only
9. Alarmy
Aha! You cannot fool this app by pressing the snooze button. This one makes sure you get out of bed or become mentally awake. How? It only turns off if you take an image of an item in the next room (that is not your bedroom), or solve a math problem.
Available in: iOS and Android
10. Pureple Outfit Planner:
Just like a meal planner, you now have an outfit planner to help you every morning. With your digitized closet, all you need to do is swipe through this app and choose what you want to wear. It also helps you keep a record of already worn dresses, so you know what’s clean to wear the next day.
Available in: iOS only
Pick out the apps that best suit your needs and style. I think I would pick “Calm” and “The Rock” app. Which one would you pick to get up every morning? Let us know if it helped!
