About aka Alarm
aka Alarm listens to room sound during a chosen 30-minute wake window and compares it with a rolling baseline. If the sound rises above a configurable threshold, the alarm fires; otherwise it sounds at the end of the window.
The alarm fades in over a minute, and you can snooze by moving the phone. Audio is processed in memory and is not stored or transmitted. The app is open source under MIT and available through F-Droid.
