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.
