ClockU is a big, beautiful bedside alarm clock that your friends can set. Going on a trip and need everyone up for the 6am bus? Want your partner to make sure you don't sleep through the big day? With ClockU, the people you trust can add a wake-up to your clock, with a message that shows up large on your screen when it rings. And when you tap "I'm up", they get told. A REAL ALARM CLOCK • A large LED-style clock made for your nightstand, in landscape on iPhone and full screen on iPad • Alarms ring like the built-in Clock app: through silent mode and Focus, full screen, with snooze • Set your own alarms too: repeating on the days you choose, or once on a date, with a note that shows big when it rings • The ALARM light shows when something will ring, with the next time and message right on the clock • Pick the LED colour, and let it dim at night and brighten before your alarm • Widgets for StandBy and the Lock Screen show your next wake-up and who set it • Works with Siri: "Wake Dana with ClockU" FRIENDS SET THE WAKE-UP • Pick one friend or several, choose a time, write a message • Make it repeat: every weekday, or the days you choose, approved once • Change the time or message for everyone at once, or cancel it • Send a recent wake-up again with one tap • See who accepted, whose phone is set to ring, and who tapped "I'm up" • They can reply with one tap: "On my way", "5 more minutes" … • If someone doesn't get up, you'll hear about it YOU STAY IN CONTROL • Nobody can add a wake-up until you approve them • Letting someone wake you doesn't let you wake them: permissions go one way • Choose per person: ring automatically, or ask you to accept each wake-up • You choose how it rings: sound and snooze are yours • Report or block anyone at any time TRY IT ON YOUR OWN Add @clocku_demo under People: our demo friend approves you, sends you a test wake-up a few minutes later, and confirms when it's "up". Want another? Tap the … menu next to the demo friend and choose "Request another wake-up". ClockU doesn't track you or show ads. Your own alarms stay on your phone. Crash reports are sent only if you agree.
