## What is Tagle Alarm?

Tired of dismissing your alarm without even opening your eyes? This alarm clock makes you get out of bed — literally. No subscription. No special hardware.
Set an alarm, and the only way to turn it off is to scan an NFC tag you've placed somewhere away from your bed: the bathroom, the kitchen, next to the coffee machine. By the time you've walked over and scanned it, you're already up.

This is a one-time purchase — no monthly fees, no paywalls, no ads. And it works with any standard NTAG213 NFC tag, the inexpensive kind you can buy anywhere. No proprietary tags, no locked ecosystem.

Features

Scan-to-dismiss alarms — register your own NFC tags and scan to turn the alarm off
Store multiple tags — set up tags in different rooms or for different routines
Multiple alarms — build a schedule that fits your week
Gradual volume increase — wake gently as the alarm slowly rises to full volume
Adjustable alarm volume and sound — choose the tone and loudness that works for you
Themes — choose the look to match your style
Sleep log — track your wake-up history and spot your patterns over time
Repeat alarms — Choose what specific days of the week you want an alarm

Reliable wake-up, even when things go wrong
The app works best running in the background, but life happens - phones restart, updates install overnight, apps get closed. That's why there's a built-in backup alarm that still goes off to make sure you wake up, even if the main alarm can't run as intended.

Place your tag. Set your alarm. Actually get up.

### 5/5 — App is spot on

*2026-07-28*

Nice and simple does exactly what it says.

### 5/5 — Works as expected

*2026-07-24*

Simple app but also has everything thing I was looking for. super cheap with your own nfc tag so worth the money for the app

### 2/5 — Easy to ignore

*2026-06-20*

Honestly, a bit of a let down, idea is great, execution, not so much, it relies on system sound setting and can be easily muted

**Developer response:** We welcome all points of improvement, and have implemented an update (3.1.0) to fix this issue. The sound cannot now be manipulated by the user, but stays completely fixed until you have turned off the alarm. This comes alongside other streamlined features, and app polishes. Hope you enjoy!
