YOU KEEP SLEEPING THROUGH ALARMS. WE GET IT.
You've tried everything: multiple alarms, putting your phone across the room, puzzle apps, louder sounds. You still hit snooze half-asleep and crawl back into bed. Every failed morning makes you feel worse—guilty, rushed, and behind before your day even starts.
It's not that you're lazy. Your alarm is just badly designed.
GetUp is different. It's the alarm system you literally cannot snooze.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
1. Set your alarm in the GetUp app
2. Place your GetUp Brick somewhere away from your bed (bathroom, kitchen, desk)
3. When your alarm rings, the only way to turn it off is to physically get out of bed, walk to your brick, and tap your phone on it
4. No shortcuts. No snooze button. No going back to bed.
By the time you've walked to your brick, you're awake. Your body has moved. The lights are on. The cozy spell is broken. And here's the thing: once you're actually up, you stay up.
DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE TRIED EVERYTHING
Chronic snoozers who sleep through 5+ alarms
Heavy sleepers who genuinely don't hear normal alarms
Phone scrollers who lose 20+ minutes in bed every morning
Students who keep missing lectures and deadlines
Young professionals tired of starting work already behind
Anyone who wants to stop breaking promises to themselves
WHY GETUP ACTUALLY WORKS
Traditional alarms are too easy to dismiss when you're half-asleep. GetUp creates physical friction—the one thing your groggy brain can't outsmart. You must move. And movement triggers wakefulness.
Plus, you're not grabbing your phone and immediately seeing notifications. No doom-scrolling. No "I'll just check one thing" that turns into 30 minutes. Your phone becomes a tool to silence noise, not a portal to distraction.
WHAT MAKES GETUP DIFFERENT
- Physical NFC checkpoint – Not just an app, an actual device you have to walk to
- No snooze option – Literally removed from the equation
- Customisable alarms – Set times, sounds, repeat schedules
- Behavioural science-backed – Friction + state change = actual waking up
- Blocks morning phone use – Break the bed-to-scroll habit
- Built by a chronic snoozer – Someone who gets it, for people who get it
STOP LOSING THE FIRST BATTLE OF EVERY DAY
Mornings set the tone. When you oversleep or waste time scrolling, you start already behind—stressed, rushed, guilty. GetUp helps you win that first battle and start your day with a small victory instead of an excuse.
Imagine: waking up on time, every time. Having a calm morning. Actually making that 9am lecture. Getting to work on time without sprinting. Having time for coffee, a shower, maybe even breakfast. Feeling in control.
That's what GetUp users tell us. They're finally keeping the promises they make to themselves when they set their alarms the night before.
YOUR MORNINGS, TRANSFORMED
GetUp isn't about motivation or willpower—those fail when you're half-asleep. It's about making the easy thing getting up, and the hard thing staying in bed. Smart design beats self-discipline every time.
One brick. One app. One simple rule: when it rings, you move.
