As a business idea I don't think it would take off. I had a somewhat related project idea to rotate ringtones.
Such an idea can be done on Android, but would have been impossible on iOS (at the time, have not looked into it since).
It was mildly popular for download on the store, but supporting issues on various phones was a hassle, and Android update occasionally changed the required APIs. Currently the project is broken and on the back-burner to get it fixed again. However, it is freely available if you want a look.

I don't understand the problem this solves or value it brings. Morning alarms get annoying with repetition, not ringtones. I'd pivot to dynamic/generated morning alarms if I were you
I have this buisness idea where I create a way for ringtones to slightly vary on each call, either in rythm, tonality or timbre.
This could be done algorithmically, by ensuring the ringtone does not deviate too much from what one can recognize as your phone ringing, but at the same time to vary over time to keep it interesting, suprising, and not end up as an obnoxious sound.
How does the HN audience feel about this? Would you use it? and would this be feasible to implement in Android and iOS ?
