  • Life Changing

    I’ve suffered Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder since I was a teenager, and I spent years going to a sleep clinic, and taking sleep drugs. This app has changed my life. Making the item to scan be far away from my bed, somewhere with lots of life and breakfast etc really helps switch me into a daytime sleep routine! I’ve had to orient my whole life around this sleep disorder (working nights for example), but now I can exist at the same time as my friends and family. So it’s truly life changing. Thank you!

  • I used to sleep in and now I don't anymore!

    Update (11/02/23): If you're finding it hard to find time for your hobbies and personal projects, you need this app! Since I started using this app to wake up at 4:30 AM each morning, I've been able to:
    - Make significant progress on an article I've wanted to write for months.
    - Consistently journal my thoughts.
    - Devote more time to my business.

    If this app could inspire me, someone who usually loves to sleep in, to wake up at 4:30 AM nearly every day for a whole month, it can do the same for you!

    Original review (10/09/23): It's 6:00AM as I'm writing this review, and I've been up since 4:30AM thanks to this app! For years, I couldn't get out of bed early no matter how hard I tried. I would want to wake up early to build a writing habit, complete assignments/study, or start my side-hustle but my brain would always work against me and I would fall back asleep. It got so bad that my mom would have to wake me up everyday for school because I didn't have enough motivation to do it on my own. As a result, my grades and ambition suffered. I've tried all the other hacks- going to bed earlier, putting my phone across the room, counting down to 1, and none of those stuck! I thought I was one of those people who could never get up before 6AM, and those who did were just built different. But this app has changed that! This app is the ONLY thing that works because if you don't get up and scan the barcode of something they'll charge you money. And you can't cheat your way out of it by turning off your phone, even if you delete the app they'll still charge you money. I want to get all As this semester and finally make progress with my passion projects & side hustles and I feel like this app is helping me achieve my dreams! It's the first week trying it and I will be giving updates but so far NO REGRETS! I will definitely be paying the $5 monthly subscription for the premium version! Usually I NEVER pay for apps because I'm broke and they're not worth it...but this one is!! This app is the ultimate productivity hack forget everything else out there😂

  • Well worth it

    I’ve been paying for this app for a good few months now and it’s one of the only apps I pay a subscription for, because it genuinely fixed my problem of not being able to discipline myself to get up on time as I don’t work set hours. Super clever idea yet so simple that anyone could use it - just set the time, penalty and how you’ll prove you are up and it will lock it in an hour before the alarm - completely uncheatable.
    I love the new feature that counts your steps as proof - great way to get energized for the day ahead. It would be great to see more physical activity as proof somehow or even puzzles or trivia.
    Also, the app support has been super helpful and friendly if ever I have needed to reach out.
    Definitely worth a download to try it out for yourself!

    Thanks so much for the recognition and wonderful review! Not having set hours is one of the reasons Nuj was built in the first place! I'm thrilled to hear it's been able to solve this problem for you as well :) Puzzles and trivia as different proof/challenges will definitely be considered for future updates. Keep the suggestions coming! :)

  • Incredible app. Well designed

    As the title says. A very well designed app really works better than any other alarm I’ve used.

  • GAME CHANGER

    Finally I have that extra nuj to get out of bed in the morning and get up early. I put a book in my sauna so it forces me to get up and scan it each morning with the Nuj app. I’m already awake and I’m the sauna so I stay awake. I am a DEEP sleeper and have a ton of trouble getting up because I love the comfy pillows. Yet I want to wake up early to workout study etc. This app is a dream come true.

  • It’s not instant, but it’s effective

    I've been on the hunt for the perfect solution to my morning snooze habit for years. Despite trying everything - sunlight alarms, alarm clocks that talk, alarm clocks that play birds, favorite songs, weird gadgets, an alarm that counted my steps… everything. Either I would get used to the alarms and start ignoring them, or they were so distressing that I had to hide from them... in bed. Training myself to respond differently to a cue after practicing snooze for 40 years isn’t easy. This alarm isn’t instant, but nothing that works to rewrite a habit ever is. Nuj is easily customizable. I figure out how much time I need, how many alarms will lift me out of sleep and over I can make an intentional choice, I work to find exactly how much motivation i need. I don’t think I’ll ever be a person who gets it dialed in and everything’s great from then on, but it’s so easily customizable, that I can hone in what works for me, and make it do exactly that. Nuj can be a Life changer!

  • Great app that actually gets me up

    I’ve tried a lot of different alarm apps, but I’ve always found a way around them, but this one actually gets me up. Not only that, but I got a charity that I really appreciate approved so that if I do snooze, my money doesn’t go to waste. I highly recommend Nuj.
