Getting up early in the morning can be tough for many people. While alarms can be set on our phone to us wake up, the accompanying snooze feature  makes it difficult at times to get out of bed. However, one app developer has come out with an ingenious solution to the problem.

With the Snap Me Up app, alarms can be turned off only after the user takes a selfie. Unless users take a clear picture of their face, the alarm will keep up the beeping.

According to the app maker, the alarm could not be shut until one's face was detected on the camera and a photo was clicked, so users should smile a welcome a new day.

Users' snaps would be saved into an album called "My sleepy snaps", where they can be viewed later.

The full description of the app on Google Play is as follows:

  • "Have you ever wondered how do you look when you wake up?
  • "Snap Me Up allows you to set alarms in an easy and elegant way,
  • that have to be turned off taking a picture of your face.
  • "Just watch the camera, turn on the lights, open your eyes and snap!
  • "Yours pictures will be saved into an album called: ''My sleepy snaps'', where you can watch or share them.
  • "The alarm will not be dismissed until your face is detected on camera and you take a photo of it, so smile and welcome a new day!
  • "You can also set a timer!
  • "This could be really useful for example to take a quick nap or to take off your cake from the oven in time.
  • "There is also another awakening method that will wake you up with a different image every day, the picture will be taken from your gallery at random.
  • "What are you waiting for, wake up with a snap!"
