What happens
The target stops their morning alarm. Half a second later the volume jumps to 100%, the phone buzzes, a scream plays and a full-screen ghost fills the display. Then it’s quiet, as if nothing happened.
Setup
- Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
- Long-press it in Shortcuts → All Shortcuts → Rename and call it Alarm Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
- Shortcuts → Automation → + → Alarm, choose Is Stopped and Any Alarm (or just their wake-up alarm), select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
- Run it once now and tap Always Allow on every prompt, or the prank fizzles on a permission dialog later. Turn the volume down first, for your own sake.
Undo
Open Shortcuts → Automation, swipe left on the automation and tap Delete. Then delete the shortcut.
Variations
- Pair it with 3:33 AM for a full night-and-morning haunting.
