Forget doing challenges like math problems and solving puzzles to prove you're awake - what good does that do when you can easily go back to sleep right after taking a few seconds to shut off your alarm? If you're the kind of person who can hit the snooze button ten times in a row, you need something stronger to keep you awake.

Relentless alarm forces you to use your phone for a duration of time before the alarm can be shut off for good. Don't worry, you won't be disturbed by the alarm constantly ringing. You can use your phone in peace, but once you stop and let the screen go to sleep, the alarm will start ringing again. The idea is to force yourself to stay awake for some time so you won't feel as tempted to go back to sleep afterwards, and to let you spend your time productively or enjoyably in the manner you choose instead of making you solve non-stop math problems.

This method doesn't work well with apps that keep your screen awake, so please remove your temptation to cheat by blacklisting those apps in the settings.

Alarm tested to work in Marshmallow's doze mode.

Pro version:

Write Settings - Modify alarm volume levels and screen off timeout so the relentless alarm can work
Read Phone State - To detect if a call is in-progress in order to adjust alarm accordingly
Get Tasks and Package Usage Stats - Allows the app to detect the foreground app while relentless alarm is running, so you can prevent cheating the relentless alarm with apps that keep the screen awake
