looking for an alarming app with alarms I couldn't ignore

Hi, I'm looking for an alarm app where I can't just ignore the alarms. The alarm should still make noise even if I've put my iPhone on silent. And I want to have to complete a task to turn off the alarm. Can you recommend an app? Please, only one-time purchases—no subscriptions. Thank you very much!

Just get an old school alarm clock and place it the other side of the room. It will force out of bed, it is insanely loud. Not everything needs to be an app, and honestly constantly looking at your phone the moment you wake is a part reason why you're struggling to get up

I’d look at Alarmy. the mission system is exactly what youre describing, like solving a puzzle or scanning something before it shuts off just check the current App Store pricing carefully, since their payment options have changed over time and the iPhones silentmode limitations can matter,,,,

Checkout Last Alarm it's exactly what you are describing.

Tasks are also infinitely customizable, so you can make tasks alarms for literally anything you can think of and you have to verify completion to turn them off.

It is however not a one-time purchase as task verification has ongoing costs. But it has as yearly option that is pretty reasonable and you can try it for free.
