Editor's Overview

aka Alarm is a alarm clock application developed by Aleksandr Alekseev, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.2 weighing in at 1.09 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 1.09 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Aleksandr Alekseev" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

aka Alarm wakes you at the right moment within a 30-minute window you choose, instead of jolting you out of bed at a fixed time.

How it works: while an alarm is armed the app uses the microphone to measure the ambient sound level of your room. It maintains a rolling 5-minute baseline of "how quiet it really is" and watches for the level to rise above that baseline by a configurable threshold. When that happens — you turn over, sigh, shift the duvet — the alarm fires. If nothing happens, the alarm fires at the end of the window so you never oversleep.

Privacy: the microphone is active only while an alarm is set, and audio is processed in memory then immediately discarded. No audio buffer is ever written to disk, persisted, or transmitted off your device. There is no network code in this app at all — no analytics, no crash reporting, no third-party SDKs.

Features:

• Wake-up window with smart spike detection on the microphone
• 60-second gradual volume fade-in for the alarm tone
• Motion-driven snooze (lightly move the phone) with random duration clamped to the remaining window
• Slide up anywhere to dismiss
• Foreground service keeps the alarm reliable overnight
• Material 3 UI with dark + light mode

Frequently Asked Questions

Is aka Alarm free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does aka Alarm require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is aka Alarm safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Aleksandr Alekseev. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update aka Alarm?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
