Small Habits That Joyfully Change Lives (The Birth of a Delighter)

Delight + er: Someone who gives joy…?

Literally translated, a "Delighter" means someone who brings joy. However, the true power behind the name "Delighter" goes beyond its surface meaning. For there to be a joy-giver, there must be a joy-receiver. The clue to the true meaning of a Delighter lies in our 2 million users who use Alarmy every single morning without fail.

As of April 2020, Alarmy has hit 44 million cumulative downloads, and it holds incredible stories matching that massive milestone. The short blurb in our "About the Alarmy Team" section condenses the positive energy brought by the changed lives of every single user. While we've received many stories over the years, let me share an amazing piece of feedback that recently brightened our Delighters' Monday.

Before discovering Alarmy, Allie's life was quite grim. A heavy sleeper, she couldn't wake up on time with any alarm, which meant the only job she could hold was an evening shift at a gas station. With low pay barely covering her living expenses, her life was a constant cycle of instability. When her 26-year-old car broke down left and right, she couldn't afford to fix it, and her living situation didn't guarantee her safety.

Allie knew all too well that the root cause of this life was her inability to wake up on time, and she finally decided to try something new.

She went to the App Store, searched for an alarm app, and installed Alarmy, which sat at the very top of the search results. At first, she was skeptical about what an app could possibly do, but desperate as she was, she immediately opened it and set an alarm.

The next morning, she experienced something amazing. For the first time that year, she woke up exactly when she wanted to. This wasn't a one-day fluke; it continued consistently, allowing her to transition into the life of a regular office worker with a day job. Eventually, a promotion allowed her to move to a safer neighborhood and replace her beloved but broken-down old car. Through her new job, she made lifelong friends and even met her life partner. On top of that, just the week before reaching out to our Delighters, she had adopted a greyhound from a local animal shelter and was absolutely thrilled.

She credited Alarmy for flipping her life 180 degrees, sending her love and gratitude to every single Delighter who built the app. She also included a cute request for us to add more upbeat alarm sounds to boost her positive vibes every morning.

Managing 4 million MAU (Monthly Active Users), 85% of whom are overseas, with a team of around 10 members is no easy feat. But because Delighters provide opportunities for someone to cherish and live their precious life to the fullest, we can never take our responsibilities lightly.

This is where the true meaning of a Delighter shines. It's about bringing users the "joy of a changed life," and in turn, deriving joy from that. You could say Delighters and users are an inseparable, mutually beneficial match.
