That's funny, I think I'm the opposite. If I use the same tone too often my brain begins to ignore it. I've gotten around this in the past by using my ringtone, but I don't like starting the day with a feeling of panic.

I'm the same way. That's why I built jolt.

That's a good point, I think a lot of people feel the same way. One option as a "workaround" for now until I have time to build something out, would be to use your current phone's default alarm and then use jolt on top of it. For example if you woke up at 7AM. You could set your normal alarm at 7AM and then Jolt at 7:01AM. Now you just doubled your chance of getting up and you have some cool music to listen to too.

Or play a classical opera overture that has the "Wake up!" built in to it.

For example, Mozart's Magic Flute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Gedb05J5M
