About 1/3 of the applications I use regularly are ones I've written myself, from the trivial to one that are very large and complex.

My favorite one, though, was a simple alarm clock app I wrote (back when I used alarm clocks). It had the one thing I wanted from alarm clocks that nobody provided: every time you hit the snooze button, it snoozes for half the time you got the last time you hit the snooze. When the snooze period drops below 1 minute, the snooze button stopped working entirely.

What does it do when it quits working?

Some snoozers I know would just consider that a victory and get back to sleep

  • The snooze key/process quits working, and it just keeps beeping until you complete the turning the app off process.. probably. (Not OP)

  • I would assume it keeps ringing. You could potentially have it increase in volume or require gps movement to turn off.
