What if you set an alarm accidentally and you're away from home?
It's location based. It gives you an option to turn off if you are not in you home location. Unless you explicitly disable that clause.
Ah, I was wondering if you're totally fucked by accidentally setting it
Yup! There are levels of fucked up. At the basic level, if it's accidentally set to override location check, there are easy solutions like force closing the app, uninstalling the app, turning off the phone.
Mind you, the app knows you force closed it. So it will let you know next time if you want to go to next level of strictness.
At the highest level of fuck up, you can provide admin access so that switching apps and physical buttons are all disabled. So you best bet would be to let the battery drain out and somehow muffle the speakers.
There is also another "fun" captcha. You pledge a small amount of money. If you don't wake up, the money gets donated to fund sleep-related research.
