FaceAlarm

A daily alarm that only stops when you take a selfie, building a dated photo record of your face.

FaceAlarm is an alarm clock for face yoga, gua sha or a skincare routine: it keeps ringing until you take a selfie, and each selfie lands in a dated gallery. Compare any two days side by side and watch your streak grow. Photos stay on your phone and there is no account.

In the App Store and Google Play · iPhone, Android · Free; optional one-time Support the App ($4.99)

What it does

Alarm that needs a selfie

The alarm is dismissed by taking a photo, and Apple's Vision checks a face is in frame first. On iOS 26 it uses AlarmKit for full-screen alerts; earlier versions use notifications. Four melodies; volume buttons take the photo.

Face guide

An outline overlay helps you hold the same angle and distance every day, so photos line up.

Gallery, comparison and collages

A calendar gallery by date, side-by-side comparison of two days, and a 2x2 collage you can share.

Streaks and year view

Streak count and a yearly activity ring/spiral calendar of the days you showed up.

Skincare tools

A 62-question Bauman skin type test, an SPF guide, photo tips and a lymphatic drainage guide, all bundled in the app.

Privacy

Your selfies are saved to a FaceAlarm album in your Photos library and are never uploaded by the app; face detection runs on the phone. The iPhone app sends anonymous usage counts to our own counter; the Android app has no internet access at all.

  • Account: none. The app has no sign-in and no account.
  • Reaches us: iPhone only: anonymous usage counts (see Analytics). Android: nothing; the app has no internet permission.
  • Other services: Apple App Store

About

FAQ

Are my selfies uploaded?

No. The app saves them to a FaceAlarm album in your Photos library and never sends them anywhere. If iCloud Photos is on, Apple syncs that album like any other.

Does it recognise my face?

No. Apple's Vision checks only that a face is in the frame (a box around it) so the alarm cannot be dismissed with a photo of the ceiling. Nothing about your face is stored.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-in.

Is it free?

Yes. A one-time $4.99 'Support the App' purchase removes the support screen; it unlocks no features.

Is there an Android version?

Yes, on Google Play as com.facealarm.app. It has no internet permission.
