Wake up together — even from miles apart. SyncUp is the alarm clock that actually gets heavy sleepers out of bed: sync your alarm with a wake-up buddy, solve a challenge to shut it off, or charge yourself for every snooze. Three ways to finally wake up on time. PARTNER MODE Pair your alarm with a friend, roommate, or partner and see each other's wake-up status in real time. Still snoozing? Get a nudge. It's shared accountability that works whether you're in the same house or different time zones. WAKE-UP CHALLENGES Tapping "dismiss" half-asleep isn't an option. Before your alarm stops, you'll solve a challenge — a math problem, or physically getting up to touch grass — to prove you're actually awake. Pick the challenge type and difficulty that fit your routine. PAID SNOOZE (OPTIONAL) For anyone who needs real stakes: every snooze charges you $0.99, straight from your account. Get up and you keep it. Sleep in and you pay for it. Available to everyone, free or Pro. ALSO INCLUDES - Wake-up streaks and stats to track your progress - Customizable alarm sounds, challenge types, and snooze pricing - Activity feed with your full wake-up history PLANS - SyncUp Pro — Unlimited alarms, all challenge types including partner challenges, and more. - Paid Snooze (optional) — Add extra motivation with a charge per snooze. Available to all users, free or Pro.

Tired of snoozing through your mornings? QuitSnooze is the alarm clock that actually gets you out of bed. Link your alarm to a barcode — on your toothpaste, coffee bag, or anything far from your bed — and you won't be able to silence it until you get up and scan it. How it works Set an alarm, pick a barcode, and place that item somewhere you have to walk to. When your alarm goes off, the only way to stop it is to open the app and scan that barcode. Try to dismiss it any other way? It rings again in one minute. And again. And again. Key features • Barcode-linked alarms — attach a real-world barcode to force yourself out of bed • Persistent ringing — the alarm keeps coming back until you scan the barcode • Works with AlarmKit — fires even when the app is closed, in Sleep Mode, or Focus mode is on • Live Activity on Lock Screen & Dynamic Island — see your alarm at a glance • Morning streaks — track your consistency and build the habit • Beautiful, modern design with light and dark mode QuitSnooze Pro Unlock the full experience with a free 14-day trial: • Unlimited alarms • Up to 3 barcodes per alarm, randomly selected each morning — no memorizing one spot • Full statistics & insights — see how fast you dismiss, how often you snooze, and more QuitSnooze is not a gentle nudge. It's the alarm for people who are serious about waking up. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
