android alarm clock that will shuffle local media - eviltoast

My brain or whatever gets accustomed to the same alarm in the mornings and I wont wake up. I currently point my alarm clock to a spotify playlist so that it will play a random some from said playlist. I no longer use spotify and instead store local files or my plex/jellyfin server.

I have tried what seems like tons of alarm clock apps but non of them can do this. Is there one that does this.

    I never used it myself, but rather than a dedicated alarm clock app, maybe look at tasker?

    Looking at their website they actually list your use case as an example of what is possible

    wake up with a random song from your music collection

    (Third point under “usage examples”)

      Can confirm, done this exact thing with tasker in the past. Don’t have the script anymore though.
