Great tool
This app is extremely useful if you are someone who struggles with oversnoozing alarms. The consequence system is tunable and effective for people with this issue. It requires you to make a commitment to waking up at a certain time the night before by setting the alarm, and feels rewarding when you successfully complete the alarm task. Greatly improved my productivity and mornings.

Wonderful against procrastination
Only way to get out of bed nowadays, just wished there was a timer option too.
Truly Life Changing
This app has been a game changer. I’m 34 and in all those years, even as a kindergartener (seriously, there is a VHS of my first day of school, and I was not having it), I hate mornings.
It’s like I am a completely different person. It’s like I don’t have control over myself. It’s always been a huge issue in my life, especially as an adult. I would do anything to keep sleeping. I’ve lost jobs over it. No matter how hard I tried I always failed myself. It’s been very disheartening and I’ve been extremely hard on myself for a long time (I know that doesn’t help).
These past couple years I’ve been trying all sorts of “unconventional” alarm ideas. Not a single one beat me… I beat them and kept sleeping peacefully. My partner couldn’t even get me up.. like I said, it’s like I’m not me, I would be mean to them. Everything I tried failed.
Until one day, I got on Reddit and read anything I could regarding the struggle of getting up in the morning. I saw a Reddit user stating they designed an app that charges you if you don’t get up. I was afraid it was a scam at first, but after further research it seemed legit and I tried it. LIFE CHANGING. I used the free 5 alarms at first to test it out. For the first time in my life, I got up… and I stayed UP! I wasn’t late to work for an entire week.
After that week, I subscribed. $5 is a steal for a service like this. - so thank you to whoever made this alarm, it has completely changed me as a person. I truly fear the day it might *disappear* and not be available anymore. I really appreciate this unconventional tool that has saved me in ways no one could ever understand. < 3

Game changer
I could talk myself into sleeping in no matter what and this is such a game changer for forcing yourself out of bed. I do two alarms ten minutes apart and I was able to request a charity in the rare case the alarms don’t get me up but they haven’t not been able to not motivate me yet
Amazing app
I have adhd so I struggle to take my medications on time everyday so having to get up and scan a barcode to stop the alarm has been absolutely great for me. All important features are completely free and i found no glitches this far. Great app who you can see isn’t just money grabbing.
Great for anyone having trouble getting out of bed in the morning!
I love Nuj! Nuj is the only way that I have found to reliably get up in the morning. For years, I wanted to get up early, but when the early morning arrived, I was just too warm and cozy and I would turn off my alarm, regretting it when I got out of bed hours later. Now, with binding penalty alarms stored on the cloud, I either get up or pay up! I love the lock window feature. Late at night, it is so tempting to disable an early upcoming morning alarm. The lock window prevents you from doing that. The only thing that would make the lock window feature better would be for the maximum lock window period to be maybe 48 hours compared to 16 hours. That would really help me stick to early morning alarm schedules. Also, Noel is a really nice, helpful, and responsive Admin. I recently got a flip phone and had trouble using Nuj on it. I sent a message to the support email and Noel responded within 5 minutes. Although I am probably the only Nuj user using my specific flip phone, he made the flip phone support robust within a few weeks. That was very, very generous of him and more than any other app developer in that situation would do! I would highly recommend this app to anyone having trouble getting up early in the morning!

Only thing that works
I’ve tried so many apps like this and this is the first one I’ve been consistent with for several months. It is also seamless with the clock app which I love. No issues. I do wish there was an option to add a follow up alarm to make sure I’m actually out of bed like 5 minutes after I scan a barcode.

The only alarm that gets me out of bed
I have tried every hack and app to wake up early, this is the only thing that works - no loopholes or workarounds.
The time I’ve gained in my day by actually getting up when my alarm goes off is worth every penny!

Only App That Actually Works
Tried a lot of things to get out of bed in the morning - keeping the alarm in a separate place, natural light, etc. This is the first thing that has actually worked consistently- super smart
Game changer
Always struggled with getting up on time if I didn’t have work to get up for or something to get to. Have tried putting my alarm clock across the room and other apps like Alarmy but would always end up back in bed. However, nothing is more motivating than losing actual money. App is a total game changer for my productivity and just general daily life. Shoutout Noel for the idea, thanks man.

Amazing App
The fear of losing money is what gets me up in the morning. Honestly worth the yearly subscription. There’s a measurable consequence for me sleeping in. I always find loopholes in other apps (most of them u can just uninstall them and shut them up) but Noel, the developer, made it so that I can’t even do that. It works. Plus, he’s super responsive and I’ve talked to him a couple of times when I had unique situations. Couldn’t recommend this app more

This App Works!
This app has helped me stop snoozing my alarm and get up on time and get to work earlier! I have struggled with this for years and tried various alarm clocks and challenges which worked only for a couple days. Using this app for just two weeks has helped me to form a habit of going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier. I am so thankful to Noel for creating this app. He has been so understanding giving me a freebie penalty for my first time missing the alarm and another time when I forgot to unset the alarm the night before on a day I didn’t need to wake up early. Thank you, Noel!

Get it!!
I’ve been struggling with waking up for years, I’ve tried literally everything (sunrise clock, alarmy etc) and this is the only thing that really works! I finally have a consistent sleep schedule and I’m so grateful. I’ve only ran into a small issue once where I had to reverse the penalty and he was extremely helpful in resolving it. Highly highly recommend

Best alarm app out of all of them
Best alarm app I’ve used and the support is flawless. Loads of fail safes to make sure you don’t just turn off the alarm which most apps lack.
I honestly wish I found this sooner! It’s really good!
I’ve been using this alarm app for a while now, and it’s easily one of the best I’ve tried. I love that the app doesn’t drain my battery at all! I’ve used Alarmy before and it seriously ate through my battery, but this app runs so smooth in the background that I don’t even think about it.
My favorite features is the barcode check, I set mine to the barcode on my mouthwash in my bathroom, so I actually have to get out of bed to turn the alarm off.
Highly highly recommend!

Fantastic
Works extremely well with no way to cheat.
Very good alarm!
Changed my life, especially during my university years when I had trouble getting up at a fixed schedule. Definitely would recommend this app!
Genuinely the best Alarm Clock app
Okay I’ve tried a ton of these, but they always have a way to break ‘em. Whether that’s deleting the app, just pressing “stop” or snoozing repeatedly, shutting down your phone. They’re all exploitable, ‘cept this one. Because this one is server-side, and your cash is on the line.
Hard recommend for those who usually have trouble waking up.

Excellent App
Been using this app for around six months and and it has provided great motivation for me to get up and out of bed. I usually struggle with turning my alarm off and going back to sleep but now with the financial penalty I get up 99% of the time.
100% Game Changer
Man I struggled to be consistent waking up in the morning… until I found this app. Plus, Noel (the founder) added the charity of my choice less than 24 hours after I asked. Great support. Great concept. Great app. All around I’m a fan. Thanks Noel!
