Start waking up on time with Lasso, the app that makes you get out of bed and tap a physical device to turn off your phone's alarm. Tap to Stop: Stop the alarm with a satisfying tap. Lasso won't be quiet until you do. After getting out of bed and walking all the way to your device, you'll be wide awake and much less likely to fall back asleep. Safe for Travel: If you lose your device or forget to take it with you on a trip, the emergency bypass feature lets you stop the alarm without the device. Pair to multiple Lasso devices and keep one in your travel bag or at a second location. Family Friendly: Additional household members can pair their iPhones to the device for a one-time, in-app purchase. Get the whole family out of bed without the morning chaos and every-five-minute check ins. Beautiful Design: Lasso was built by designers. Enjoy a clean, simple interface with no ads or extra features like weather or horoscopes. Just a well-done alarm app with all of the right features and none of the fluff. The Right Features: Recurring schedules, an optional, one-time snooze, gradual volume increase, custom sounds, next alarm lock screen widgets, alarm notes, Apple Watch support, light and dark mode. Notes: Use of the Lasso Alarm Clock app requires the purchase of a physical Lasso device or a 'seat' on a device via an in-app purchase.
