Even the toaster can't save this one.
Summary
Clutch Alarm is a mobile app that solves the problem of World Cup matches airing at 3 AM for European fans. It monitors live football matches and only wakes users (bypassing silent mode with a loud, full-screen alarm) when significant moments occur — such as a goal, a one-goal game in the final stretch, or their team in trouble. Originally launched as an NBA alarm, it now covers football, allowing fans to sleep through uneventful periods and wake up only for the drama.
