About

Tapp Alarm

This alarm app requires you to physically get out of bed and tap your phone to a remote dock to turn it off. It ensures alarms ring at full volume, even in silent mode, to prevent oversleeping.

Highlights
  • Remote dock pairing
  • Scan dock to dismiss alarm
  • Rings at full volume
  • Bypasses silent mode and DND
  • Simple setup

Tapp Alarm is built for people who sleep through everything. Ordinary alarms fail because turning them off is too easy — you silence them half-asleep and drift right back off. Tapp fixes that by putting the off switch across the room. Stick a Tapp Dock wherever you actually need to be standing to wake up — the bathroom, the kitchen, your gym bag — and the ringing only stops when you physically get up and tap your phone to it. How it works: - Pair your Tapp Dock in seconds by using our app. Tapp remembers it as your personal off switch. - Set an alarm and choose your dismiss mission: Scan the Dock. - When the alarm fires, it keeps ringing until the mission is complete. No snooze trap, no half-asleep dismissal. Alarms you can rely on: - Rings at full volume even in silent mode and Do Not Disturb. - Keeps sounding until you're genuinely up and moving. - Clean, simple setup — pair once and forget it. If you've tried every alarm app and still oversleep, Tapp is the one that finally gets you out of bed.
