Sloth is an alarm app for climbers. To turn off an alarm, you complete a short camera-verified exercise — hangboard holds, push-ups, pull-ups, or sit-ups — using on-device pose detection. Camera frames are processed on your phone and are not uploaded as video.

Common questions
Alarms & wake-up challenges
How do I stop the alarm?
When an alarm rings, open Sloth and complete the exercise you chose for that alarm
(for example, hang from your hangboard for the required seconds, or finish the
required reps). The camera must see your full body clearly. The alarm stops only
after the challenge is verified.
Hangboard alarms won’t verify — what should I check?
- Mount the phone so the camera sees you hanging with feet off the ground.
- Stand far enough back that your shoulders, arms, and hips are in frame.
- Use good lighting; avoid strong backlighting from a window.
- Hold the position steadily until the countdown finishes.
Push-ups, pull-ups, or sit-ups not counting?
Make sure your whole body stays visible, move through the full range of motion, and
keep a stable camera angle. Rep-based challenges need continuous movement until the
target rep count is reached.
Will Sloth work if the app is closed?
Sloth uses system alarms and notifications. On first launch, grant notification and
alarm permissions when prompted. On Android, allow exact alarms if your device asks.
Battery-saver or aggressive task killers can delay alarms on some devices.
