It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

It may sound boring, but I would appreciate a good open source alarm app for android.

What's missing from the existing ones?

I have serious sleep issues so I heavily really on my alarm app, I need features like:

wake-up captcha
wake-up time randomising
the ability to load a playlist, or play a podcast episode
sleep tracking

I have had success with the Simple Alarm Clock on F-Droid (not to be confused with the simple mobile tools apps). It has necessary basic features like custom alarms, increasing volume, and dismissing the alarm requires holding down "dismiss" so the chances of accidentally dismissing an alarm instead of snoozing it are much lower. The only time it seemingly failed me was after an overnight android update (samsung), where it didn't work until the phone was unlocked.
