User reviews

Finally, an alarm I can’t snooze!

I’m a chronic snoozer and have tried pretty much everything to get myself out of bed. Totem is the first thing that’s actually helped. Having to physically get up and scan the tag means I can’t turn off my alarm half asleep and crawl back into bed. By the time I get there, I’m awake!

I love how simple the app is, too. One tag works for all my alarms, even with the app closed or Do Not Disturb on. Such a simple idea, but it makes a huge difference. If you struggle to get out of bed, definitely try this!
