Accessibility Service

The accessibility service is necessary for a series of alarm tasks called CAPTCHA. Completing tasks such as sheep counting, doing math, or scanning a barcode on your toothpaste will ensure you get up on time and are fully awake.
The accessibility Service prevents you from cheating the CAPTCHA tasks by force stopping the app or turning off the device before completing them. No personal information is collected.

Device Admin

This app may also use the Device Administrator permission to prevent you from cheating CAPTCHA tasks (see above) by uninstalling the app.

Health Disclaimer

Sleep as Android is not intended for medical use, but rather to improve general fitness and well-being, especially in terms of better sleep. Any oxygen saturation tracking is done with compatible oximeter devices such as the TicWatch, BerryMed oximeters... more at https://sleep.urbandroid.org/docs/devices/wearables.html

There are things I love that SaA has which "Sleep Cycle" app (which I've used for 8yrs) doesn't have, like the sleep score breakdown into components elements, data that's easier to read on the charts, and the ability to edit your sleep session start/stop times. However, the UI/UX is a bit haphazard and not well organized, and the main dashboard view is littered with constant suggestions and notifications. I'll continue to use both for a few more weeks and see if the cost/benefit pencils out.

I lost my lifetime and it was no where near $49.99. I don't do subs (I also can't). The forced trial is uncool. The gentle alarm, alarm optioms and captcha are what make. I wish some old apps could stay the same without disappearing. Having to find the latest version of the not quite wheel for something as important as an alarm is aggravating.

Beware, premium trial is automatic, I had no say in activating it. Then asks you to rate app. I guess you don't actually get any features unless you pay up. Documentation doesn't work, opens my browser then endlessly loads until timeout. Edit: then the button is deceivingly placed, I never got confirmation for it, so it must have been pressed accidentally while using the app normally, working as designed I'm sure
