I've tried many, namely Challenges Alarm Clock, Alarmy, and AMdroid, but each of them have super easy to exploit vulnerabilities to avoid doing the challenges.

While yes, I could just have self control or whatever, it's pretty hard to stop your hit by a truck tired brain from wanting to just exploit a vulnerability and then go back to bed.

Now onto the actual vulnerabilities part, I had actually used Challenges Alarm Clock for a VERY long time, but I found out you can pretty easily tab out to the Recent Apps screen while an alarm is up.

Normally this may not really matter, however there is that DREADED Active Apps button in the top left of the Recent Apps screen.
By using that button, you can literally just force stop any alarm app active, which ruins the point of a yaknow challenge alarm clock.

So that was Challenges Alarm Clock down the drain, and soon after also AMdroid due to the same issue.

However, after a while, I had found a genuine SAVING GRACE in Alarmy. Used it for months, had no issues, couldn't tab out at all, it simply refused to let you which is great.

Unfortunately, one morning I accidentally clicked on an ad in the alarm screen.
And that's where I found out you can just...bypass the force fullscreen by clicking on ads, since they take you to a website.
From there, it was unfortunately just as simple as using the same Active Apps force stop button to turn it off, and I couldn't really get that vulnerability out of my memory so every morning my tired self would always use it instead of waking up and doing the challenges. Yikes.

Honestly, I don't even think Alarmy would have any vulnerabilities if there wasn't ads on the challenges, so that really sucks.

Furthermore, it seems as if the vast majority of challenge alarm apps have the same vulnerabilities as Challenges Alarm Clock and AMdroid, allowing the ability to just tab out and force stop them without even doing the challenges.

I don't know how I keep finding these vulnerabilities to be honest, and people finding these must be pretty rare because I can't seem to really find anyone else talking about them.
