Clucky’s new alarm app wakes you up with a crowing rooster

Clucky 新推出的闹钟应用：用公鸡打鸣叫你起床

I was yelled at by a rooster this morning. And no, I don’t live on a farm. The culprit was a newly launched iPhone app I downloaded. Meet Clucky, a new alarm app for habitual snoozers that gives you the option of being woken up by a rooster and then requires you to complete a mission before you can turn the alarm off. 今天早上，我被一只公鸡“吼”醒了。不，我并没有住在农场里。罪魁祸首是我刚下载的一款新 iPhone 应用。这款应用名叫 Clucky，专为习惯赖床的人设计。它不仅提供公鸡打鸣的闹铃选项，还要求你在关闭闹钟前必须完成一项任务。

Clucky joins a growing category of alarm apps, including Alarmy and Awake, that use challenges to keep people from simply turning off their alarms and going back to sleep. Its funniest selling point is arguably the rooster option, but the app’s broader strategy is to make dismissing an alarm just irritating and ridiculous enough that users have no choice but to fully wake up. Clucky 加入了一个日益壮大的闹钟应用阵营（包括 Alarmy 和 Awake 等），这些应用通过设置挑战来防止用户随手关掉闹钟继续睡觉。虽然公鸡打鸣无疑是它最有趣的卖点，但该应用更深层的策略是让关闭闹钟的过程变得足够烦人且荒谬，从而迫使用户不得不彻底清醒。

For those who prefer something a little more conventional, though, it also offers options like gentle chimes, peaceful birds, and the classic digital beeping noise. There’s also an “Extra Loud Mode” that cranks up the volume as soon as the alarm goes off. 对于那些偏好传统闹铃的人，它也提供了柔和的钟声、宁静的鸟鸣以及经典的电子蜂鸣声等选项。此外，它还有一个“超大音量模式”，闹钟响起时会自动将音量调至最大。

Clucky’s wake-up missions include solving math problems, memorizing and tapping tiles in the correct order, typing what Clucky says, shaking your phone, walking, doing push-ups, tilting a ball toward a goal, and completing an AI camera challenge. Clucky 的起床任务包括：解数学题、按正确顺序记忆并点击方块、输入 Clucky 指定的文字、摇晃手机、走路、做俯卧撑、倾斜手机将球滚入目标，以及完成 AI 摄像头挑战。

Additionally, there’s a detailed stats section that tracks the average number of seconds your alarm rings before you complete a mission, how many missions you’ve beaten, and your total number of wake-ups. You also get what the app calls a “Rooster Report,” which grades your wake-up performance for the week. 此外，应用内还有一个详细的统计板块，会记录你完成任务前闹钟平均响铃的秒数、你已完成的任务数量以及总起床次数。你还会收到一份名为“公鸡报告”（Rooster Report）的总结，为你一周的起床表现打分。

Another neat feature is the ability to create a “Nest” or “Flock” with friends or family. These private alarm groups let people wake up at the same time and keep each other accountable. 另一个很棒的功能是能够与朋友或家人创建“巢穴”（Nest）或“鸡群”（Flock）。这些私密的闹钟群组可以让大家在同一时间起床，并互相监督。
