The World Cup is in North America, so for fans in Europe the big matches kick off at 3 AM. Clutch Alarm watches every live match and only wakes you — loud, full-screen, past silent mode — when it's worth it: a goal, a one-goal finish, your team in trouble. Sleep through the 0-0 first halves; wake up for the drama. And even if you're awake, it pings you the second a big moment happens — so you never miss one. Started as an NBA alarm, now covers football too.

This is such a specific but real problem for fans in the wrong timezone. I like that it’s not just a scores app, it decides what’s actually worth waking up for. Curious how customizable the “big moment” rules are per team or match?
Clutch Alarm
@farrukh_butt1 it is fully end to end customizeable, it can be per team, league, match or even a player. You chose what to be woken up for, just score margin, time, and a lot of advanced features like big chances burst, leading underdog and and more…
We have built a smart statistic model which gets the match stats and calculate by 1-10 how watch-worthy the match is (the “Drama Radar”).
Feel free to send me a message and talk about it 🙂
This is a smart trade. Most fans pick between missing the match and wrecking three nights of sleep during a tournament, and I build in the recovery space so I see what those 3am kick offs do to people for days after. Sleeping through the boring halves and only waking for moments that matter is the right call. Do penalty shootouts get treated as a special case or do they fall under the one goal finish rule? Good luck with the launch.
Clutch Alarm
@oshylabs thank you, penalty shootouts are a special case. You can choose to wake up only for them to
@itamarkenan waking only for shootouts is exactly the level of mercy a tournament month needs. That answer just sold it to me. Good luck with the rest of the launch.
But if it wakes you up after a goal, you've already missed it, right!?
Clutch Alarm
@louislecat You can wake up for goals, and some smart options can try to “predict” a goal is soon to come and wake you up.
Like big chances burst, the “Drama Radar” we built and a lot more.
Feel free to message me and we’ll talk about it🙂

Solid launch :)) What was the hardest part to get right so far?
Clutch Alarm
@mcarmonas I think the drama radar, in football it’s hard to tell wether the match is “clutch” or not.
For example 1-0 with the leading team dominates is not as clutch as 1-0 with the trailing team dominates. Building a model that knows how to handle those things.
I love the concept, but I wonder hoe fans define worth waking up for. A goal is obvious, yet some of the best matches are decided by tension rather than scoring. Can users customize the triggers deeply enough to match their viewing style?
As someone who would rather sleep than gamble on a 3 AM kickoff, this solves a real problem. The challenge will be trust. If the app wakes me up twice for moments that feel unimportant, I might stop relying on it completely.
