## What is DontOversleep?

Here's the clean version:
Make sure the people you love are actually up.
DontOversleep is a wake-up check, not just an alarm. Schedule a text for someone — your kid before school, a college student before a final, a friend before a flight — and at the set time they get an SMS with one button: "I'M AWAKE."
If they tap it, you get a quiet confirmation. If they don't tap it within the grace period you chose, YOUR alarm goes off — a text alert plus a loud in-app alarm — so you know it's time to call, knock, or start the car.
How it works

Add a wake-up check: who, what time, which days, and how many minutes of grace.
At wake-up time, they get a text with a confirmation link. No app or account needed on their side — any phone that can receive texts works.
They tap "I'm awake" → you relax. They don't → you get alerted before it's too late.

Why people use it

Parents making sure a teen is up for school or practice — without the 6:30am "are you up?" text volley
Families keeping an eye on a student living away from home during exam week
Anyone with an early flight, shift, or race who wants a human backstop
Checking that an older parent is up and moving each morning

Features

Recipients need nothing but SMS — no app, no login, no setup
Repeat schedules by day of week, per-check grace periods
Confirmation texts when they check in on time (optional)
Loud escalation alarm in the app and by text when they don't
Activity history: on time, late, or missed, morning by morning
Wake-up times are timezone-aware — set 7:00am their time, not yours
Simple phone-number sign-in with a texted code. No passwords.

DontOversleep never sells your data, shows no ads, and only texts people you add — every message includes opt-out instructions and recipients can stop them instantly by replying STOP.
Never let them oversleep again.
