I definitely can't guarantee you won't snooze cause the app is only a tool to help, but with some effort on a users part and settings like qr dismissal along with an annoying, loud ringtone like "digital style", this app can help fight the urge by annoying you out of bed and rewarding you for dismissing the alarm correctly.

I know it might sound stupid but something that actually works is drink a lot of water few minutes before going to bed. When I do that the alarm clock always work. Make the app remind people of drinking water when it's about bed time :-)

is this so that you have to go to the bathroom in the morning so badly that you wake up naturally?

I don't feel this urge at all, I just wake up smoothly and then after 5min or so "oh I could go to the toilet, okay". I guess it's been a known trick for centuries, at least I've read somewhere it was a pretty popular strategy among indigenous folks. But hey who am I to say, I cannot even wake up with an alarm clock!
