We found the top 1% of the internet this week (so you don't have to)

All right, Sam, why are we dressed so festive?

**Shaan Puri** (0:03)
It's Casual Friday, baby.

**Sam Parr** (0:04)
It's Casual Friday. And the best stuff is always in the group chat. And these are the things that I sent in the group chat that I wouldn't post publicly, but decided, you know what, it's Casual Friday. Let's air them out. All right, can we do the first one?

**Shaan Puri** (0:21)
The first one, here it is.

**Sam Parr** (0:23)
Okay, this is a tweet from Dylan. Dylan says, at long last, any app can be your alarm app. Apple has finally introduced AlarmKit. This is at the Apple announcement that happened this week. That lets any app have the same privileges as the clock app. This is long overdue. Dylan, you are absolutely right.

**Shaan Puri** (0:40)
Dude, I did not understand this. Is this a joke?

**Sam Parr** (0:43)
No, this is real. So basically, you know, like Apple gives you certain permissions, right? If you're an app, you can send push notifications. You could use the camera. You could use the GPS. But for a long time, no app could become your alarm app. It couldn't access the same features of an alarm app, which is like now any app, you don't just have to use the Apple alarm app. Anybody could build an app for alarm. Sounds small.

**Shaan Puri** (1:05)
I don't understand. Yeah, this does sound small. So change my mind. Why is this important?

**Sam Parr** (1:10)
So think about it this way. There's like 2 billion people with iPhones. And not every app can address all 2 billion people, but an alarm clock can basically address like a billion or two people who actually have the need for an alarm clock. So what happened was two weeks ago or a week ago, as an app developer, that was not a category you could be in. And now it's a category you could be in where there's a billion active users that might want your app. And there's been no creativity and no innovation. So like the app store has been out for 15 years now. So a lot of stuff is solved, right? Camera apps are pretty good, map apps are pretty good with Google Maps and Waze and ride sharing apps. There's all kinds of apps and there's been tons of innovation. But this has been basically artificially blocked.

**Shaan Puri** (1:56)
Wait, really quick. Do you remember the joke of Peter Thiel where he said, you wanted flying cars, but you got 190 characters, like for Twitter, 140 This is an even worse version of that. You wanted flying cars, now you can make alarm apps.

**Sam Parr** (2:11)
You wanted AI, instead you got a snooze button. By the way, I met the guy who wrote that line for, I didn't meet him, but I found out who wrote that line for Peter Thiel. Wait, you met him?

**Shaan Puri** (2:24)
Okay, you mistakenly said you met him versus you heard about him.

**Sam Parr** (2:28)
I met a guy who was like, that's the guy who wrote that, that's Peter's guy. He comes up with those and that was his job, was basically follow Peter around, listen to what he's saying, and then try to transform his sentiment into something really punchy, and that guy came up with that line, which became the basis for founders fun and a rally cry.

**Shaan Puri** (2:50)
That's cool. Well, tell them good job.

**Sam Parr** (2:53)
All right, so check this out. Easy idea. David Goggins, would you like a million dollars? Cause David Goggins today should pay some kid to make the alarm app. That's basically the David Goggins skinned alarm app. Like I want to wake up with David Goggins just saying, wake up bitch, there's miles to run. And I just want to hear that when I wake up and not like the default alarm sound for my phone.

**Shaan Puri** (3:17)
Are there, when is this going live? When's this alarm kit thing?

**Sam Parr** (3:22)
So, they did the developer preview. That's what WWDC is, right? They tell you what's possible and you can start building with it, but it's not like available yet to customers. But it usually, I think it's just like a couple of months. It's like not very long.

**Shaan Puri** (3:33)
This is low hanging fruit, my friend. It's a good idea, it's a good idea.

**Sam Parr** (3:37)
This is fruit that might just be on the ground, actually. This might be rotting fruit.

**Shaan Puri** (3:40)
I'm not entirely sure.

**Sam Parr** (3:42)
All right, next one.

**Shaan Puri** (3:43)
Here we go.
