Summary

  • Last year Nintendo released the Alarmo, a bedside alarm clock, which has recently grown a development community around it.
  • Users can utilise KernelEquinox’s reverse engineering of the Alarmo to customise various features, such as themes and UI tweaks.
  • This is possible due to Alarmo’s hacker-friendly nature, meaning users are able to replace sound files, adjust behaviour, and access a debug menu, as well as ensuring that Alarmo doesn’t contribute to light pollution in the room, and can be tied into a smart home setup.
  • If readers own an Alarmo they should check out the Alarmo dev community site and subreddit for more info, and if not keep an eye out for its wider release in March.
  • Be nice to each other in the comments section, please (comment policy).
  • Feel free to also check out our previous coverage of the Alarmo for a laugh.
