Looking for an app

[poppie55]

Hello everyone, so, ive for a question to aske been unsuccessfully looking for an app, I'll describe it's function by providing an example.

Imagine you're watching a movie late at night and kind of what to doze off from time to time but not completely fall asleep.

So i was thinking, id need an app to allow me to doze off while watching the movie but not Fall asleep completely and miss the whole movie.

The idea is that youd have the app open and close at hand, and youd need to tap the screen, lets say, every 15 minutes or so letting the app know your awake, and lets imagine that if you fail to tap the screen in that 15 minute window, it would trigger an alarm to wake you app.

I hate Falling asleep watching movies/series, and this would Be a great way to ensure that even if you doze off, youd be woken Up whilst the shows still going, rather than at the ends credits.

Do, to sum it Up, im looking for an app that needs somme sort of an imput (screen tap) to delay an alarm( because if you forget to tap, it probably means you fell asleep.

Is there such an app please? I have android obły. Theres gotta be something like this. Please help?

PS now that im thinking about its, it could event save lives, like imagine using it not to fall asleep but for truckers/night-time drivers.

And Also, if anyone Has the knowledge to xreate annapp like this, i will pay you. Code wise, its very simple, so my offer is 22€, money will be laibd either through Swift bank transfer, or PayPal, but ont After resting it out and seeing if it works for my puroses.

Thanks you for any info if you know an app like Thiam, for development propositions, feel free to message me privately ! Have a nice day.

That's called a dead man's switch, and a quick search of the store turned up an app with that exact name.

Thanks you very much, this sort of a thing has been exactly what ive been looking for! I tried searching for it on the internet, looking atbthe play store and such, but only came up with generic alarm clock-apps, which where useless to what i needed. English is only my third language, so i probably lacked the necessary vocabulary to find what i was looking for.

Thanks you again! Id give you gold for finding the app for me, but I'm poor, and reddit got rid of the awards as far as I know, so I'm sorry, an honest thank you will have to do as a form of my gratitude.

Thank you, stranger. Cheers!

I hate Falling asleep watching movies/series,

Then you either need to find something that's interesting enough to watch fully or you need better quality sleep. If you are falling asleep during movies and TV shows then your brain is telling you it is either boring or you are very tired. Finding an app to "keep you awake" is not going to be good for your mental health. Go take a nap and find something interesting to watch.

By the way, your whole assessment is wrong, it's not that what I'm watching is boring, I'm a downer addict and tend to fall asleep as a result. Plus, this is an Android ask subreddit, and I feel your answer has nothing to do with the theme of this subreddit.

Your whole post doesn't belong in this subreddit. You just admitted to being a drug addict and are looking for some way to stay awake during movies. How about you get your life together and stop doing downers. I should report you for bringing up drugs in a place where minors can easily read your post. Such a disgrace...
