AlarmMax — Wake Up. Prove It. Tired of snoozing your way back to sleep? AlarmMax won't let you cheat your morning. When your alarm goes off, it doesn't stop until you complete a real physical challenge — push-ups, squats, and more — counted live by your camera. HOW IT WORKS Set your alarm like normal. When it rings, your camera tracks your reps in real time. No reps, no dismissal — you can't fake your way out of bed. WHY IT WORKS Sound alone doesn't wake you up. Movement does. By forcing your body into action before you can silence the alarm, AlarmMax gets you genuinely awake — not just annoyed into hitting snooze. BUILT FOR HEAVY SLEEPERS If regular alarms don't cut it and you keep drifting back to sleep, AlarmMax makes that impossible. One challenge, fully completed, is the only way to turn it off.
