What is missing from Android alarm apps?

What would make an alarm genuinely better for heavy sleepers? I am currently exploring walking and vocabulary challenges, collectibles, scores, and friend comparisons. What would you add or remove?

What's missing? Syncing them between two or more devices for the purposes (mainly) of only the one you have on your nightstand be the one the goes off. There was an app that did this (I forget what it was called) and Google bought the dev team and never pushed it's main feature to the Clock app. I'M NOT BITTER.

Oh my god, a blast from the past. Timely Alarm Clock. The peak of Holo design. I miss that app so much.

add a function that tracks when I wake up on average and then cooks me crispy bacon that wakes me up with it's scent. SmellOlarm.

there was an alarm clock app w/timer that used to show you at what time the timer would stop. I liked it, but somehow it got removed. I want to say it was part of CyanogenMod or early Lineage.

I'd love an alarm that adapts to my sleep habits over time.

I had "hysterical scream.mp3" that I used for a bit, the wife in the downstairs bedroom put the kabash on that after a couple days.
