NoNap is the alarm you can't snooze. One alarm, one wake-up mission, and your day starts. A stack of alarms trains your brain to ignore all of them. NoNap gives you one, at the time you actually meant, and it only stops when you have proved you are up. PICK WHAT GETS YOU UP Push-ups, squats, a dance, a shake, a maths problem, a photo of your made bed, or an object you have to find and show the camera. Missions are checked on the device, so there is no faking it, and you can change the mission any morning your brain learns to game the last one. NO SNOOZE. NO LOCK-SCREEN ESCAPE. NoNap uses the system alarm, the same one the Clock app uses, so it rings through silent mode and Focus. Finishing the mission is the only way out. KNOW YOUR REAL WAKE-UP TIME Streaks, badges and charts show the gap between the time you set and the time you actually got up. A NUDGE THE NIGHT BEFORE The morning is decided at bedtime. NoNap reminds you to wind down while it still makes a difference. SET IT IN TWENTY SECONDS Time, repeat days, mission, sound. That is the whole setup. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. Your alarms, wake-up history, camera frames and location never leave your phone. The camera never records. To help us fix problems, NoNap sends anonymous usage statistics and crash reports that never identify you. You can switch them off in Settings. NoNap Premium unlocks the app with a weekly, monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings. Previous purchases can be restored from the paywall or from Settings. Privacy policy: https://www.nonap.app/privacy Terms of use: https://www.nonap.app/terms
