The alarm that stops only when you scan your barcode. Get up, scan, and collect stickers that shine with holographic foil. Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
You don't have a waking-up problem. You have a turning-off-the-alarm problem. BarLock keeps ringing until you get up and scan a barcode across the room. No snooze. No negotiating.
Pick an alarm time, scan a barcode or QR code on something that lives away from your bed, and that exact code becomes the only way to stop the alarm. Toothpaste, coffee, medication, a notebook. Anything that forces you to stand up.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Create an alarm.
2. Scan a barcode or QR code on an item away from bed.
3. Name the item.
4. When the alarm fires, walk to the item and scan it.
5. Wrong item, wrong code, or no scan? The alarm keeps ringing.
WHY IT WORKS
Most alarms die from one tap while you are still half asleep. BarLock moves the off switch across the room. By the time you have scanned, you are on your feet, and getting on your feet is the whole battle.
BUILT FOR
• Heavy sleepers
• Students with early classes
• Shift workers
• Serial snoozers
• Anyone who turns off alarms without remembering it
WHAT YOU GET
• An alarm only your chosen barcode or QR code can stop
• A full-screen Scan to Stop screen the moment it rings
• Wake-Up Check. BarLock rings again a little later to make sure you stayed up.

• Lock Window. In the minutes before it rings, the alarm can't be edited, paused, or deleted without a scan. 2 a.m. you can't sabotage 7 a.m. you.
• Tiptoe Mode. A few quiet seconds after you press Stop, enough to reach your item without waking the house. Miss the scan and the volume comes back.

• Alarm sounds built to cut through deep sleep
• Everything stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking.

I’ve been pretty desperate for a simple, functional, barcode/QR alarm that is not a subscription service. This is about the closest I was able to find. I’m betting this was vibe coded, but It works well. However it could definitely use more features, such as:- Ability to quickly duplicate alarms.- Infinite backup alerts, why is it capped at 7? - everything that’s adjustable should be more robust, do away with the interval options. - More sounds, louder sounds, and ability to upload your own sounds.- Add a separate dialogue window to edit existing alarms instead of going through the full setup every time. - scrolling problems on the “alarms” tab, it gets stuck pretty easy. clean this thing up a bit and it’d be a really stellar app at a reasonable price.
Developer Response
Hello JimmyXmas911, thank you for your feedback! Ability to quickly duplicate alarms? Will add. Backup Alerts capped at 7? It's because every backup alert takes one of the system alarm slots iOS gives the app, so a higher cap would start crowding out your other alarms. I know it's frustrating, but 7 is as high as I can go without risking them. More sounds, louder sounds? Working on it. Ability to upload your own sounds? Will look into it. Editing existing alarms instead of going through the full setup? Agreed 100%, will add. I want to fix the rest too: the scrolling bug on the Alarms tab, and I'd like to hear more about what you mean by making adjustments more robust and dropping the interval options. Email me at support@barlock.app. Happy mornings!
Wake up without waking anyone. New Tiptoe Mode keeps your alarm quiet for a few moments after you hit Stop, so you can slip out of bed and scan in silence. You get up on time. Everyone else sleeps through it.
Wake Check, Lock Window, and Backup Alerts now explain themselves right where you set them. No more guessing what a rule does before you turn it on.
