I’d like to rely less on my phone so that I don’t do the ritual where as soon as I wake up I’m doomscrooling on my phone, do you know of any cool, minimalist but with some features alarm clock out there?

I feel like people didn't understand me last time so I'll try to be more specific. I don't have an old phone, actually my phone is currently broke so I don't have one at all. I don't want an F-droid app, and I don't want to buy a physical alarm, I'd like and app that some more functionalities, like maybe setting more than one alarm or naming them and some theming, etc.

As an inspiration this is a web site I like I’d love if it’d introduce an alarm clock because of its aesthetics and philosophy:

use.haus

Here are more clear cut cases of web pages that exists but are closed source:

https://kukuklok.com/ https://onlinealarmkur.com/en/ https://www.myclockly.com/alarm

I don't want a physical one because I don't want to spend any money and because I want it to have just a few more features that would be covered my simply being an app instead of a smart watch or whatever, plus it forces me to go from my bed to my desk, helping me get out, instead of hitting it on the night desk.

I'm assuming you want to run this locally on your PC - with some HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can make one yourself. Here are a few examples:

https://github.com/apvastava/Alarm-Clock

https://dev.to/thedevdrawer/digital-clock-with-alarm-in-javascript-html-e27

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/javascript/create-a-build-a-simple-alarm-clock-in-html-css-javascript/

https://codepel.com/html-css/html-alarm-clock-code/

Its a fairly common test app to make, so if you search for something like "HTML alarm clock" you should find a bunch of options. You can then style it with CSS and HTML as you please.
