Does Curio ring when my iPhone is on silent?

Yes, and on the lock screen. Curio is built on Apple's AlarmKit, like the Clock app.

What happens if I force the alarm off without answering?

It comes back. Only a right answer cancels the backup alarms.

An alarm for heavy sleepers that stops when you answer trivia

If you can turn it off without thinking, you can turn it off asleep.

iPhone, iOS 26 or later. Curio is free.

Why you sleep through alarms

One tap or one swipe is something you can do without waking up. A louder alarm grabs you for a second. A trivia makes you think, and thinking is what wakes you.

How Curio keeps you up

Built on Apple's AlarmKit, like the Clock app.

Tips that help

Phone across the room. Standing up does half the work.
Same wake time every day, weekends too.
Light in fast once the alarm stops.
Two rounds and the loudest tone for the hard mornings.

Still can't wake up, or tired all day? Talk to a doctor. An alarm can't fix that.
