Sound familiar?
Waking up is tough. But what if your alarm cheered you on instead of annoying you?

A little positivity goes a long way. Plus, your brain loves kind words. Your alarm can literally become your morning coach.

- Tap the Alarm tab at the bottom.
- Tap + to add a new alarm, or tap Edit and choose an existing one.
- Tap on Label.
- Type in your personalized pep talk.
- Hit Save and you're done!
The “Label” field is where the magic happens. This is what will show up on your screen when the alarm goes off.

Pro Tips to Make Pep Alarm Labels Work Better
Let’s get strategic to make your pep talks even more effective:
- Match your words to your goal. Want to work out? Label it “Beast mode: ON.”
- Update messages weekly. Fresh words = fresh motivation.
- Add emojis! Fun ones make it pop. ✨🔥😊
- Use humor. Laughter = energy boost.
- Be kind to yourself. Alarms don’t have to be rude. Wake up to love, not panic.
Creative Combinations
Feeling adventurous? Pair the label with a matching alarm sound!
Some fun combos:
- Label: “Rise and dance!” + Alarm sound: “Uplifted” or your fave song
- Label: “Time to win!” + Alarm sound: “Summit”
- Label: “You’re unstoppable!” + Alarm sound: “Beacon”
You can also record your voice saying the pep talk and use it as your alarm. Yep, it’s next-level awesome.
Keep It Positive, Not Pressure-y
Friendly reminder: your alarm shouldn’t stress you out even more.
Labels like “Hurry or you're doomed!” might work short-term, but kind messages create habits that last.
Choose words that energize, not criticize.
Making a Routine With Your Pep Talk Alarms
Want more energy in your mornings?
Pair your alarm with a simple routine. Here’s an example:
- 6:30 AM Alarm – “Breathe. Move. Smile.”
- Drink water
- Stretch for 3 minutes
- Play a good song
- Write one thing you’re excited about
Your day will feel 10x better. Promise.
What if You Sleep Through the Pep?
It happens. But don't worry.
Try these ideas:
- Use a louder sound with your pep talk
- Put your phone across the room, so you have to get up
- Stack alarms—each with a new encouraging message
- Go to bed earlier—still underrated!
Consistency is key. Once your brain links these labels with action, waking up actually gets easier.
Final Thoughts
Alarms don’t have to be mean. Or boring. Or stressful.
Turn them into your own little morning boost machine.
All it takes is a few kind, powerful words—words meant just for you.
Set your alarm. Set your mood. Set yourself up to win.
Good morning, greatness!
