Features & Capabilities

Nuj Alarm Clock is the first alarm that uses money to motivate you to get out of bed. How it works: set an alarm time and a get-up time, add a challenge (such as scanning a barcode), and set a penalty. If you don't prove you got up by the get-up time, the penalty is charged (often donated to charity). Alarms are stored in the cloud to prevent cheating.

Media love for Nuj backs its approach. It has been featured in FastCompany with the line about financially motivated fear, and has appeared on local NBC and CBS stations. Real users report fewer snooze sessions and higher accountability thanks to the monetary stakes and cloud-based alarm data.

I love Nuj! Nuj is the only way that I have found to reliably get up in the morning. For years, I wanted to get up early, but when the early morning arrived, I was just too warm and cozy and I would turn off my alarm, regretting it when I got out of bed hours later. Now, with binding penalty alarms stored on the cloud, I either get up or pay up! I love the lock window feature. Late at night, it is so tempting to disable an early upcoming morning alarm. The lock window prevents you from doing that. The only thing that would make the lock window feature better would be for the maximum lock window period to be maybe 48 hours compared to 16 hours. That would really help me stick to early morning alarm schedules. Also, Noel is a really nice, helpful, and responsive Admin. I recently got a flip phone and had trouble using Nuj on it. I sent a message to the support email and Noel responded within 5 minutes. Although I am probably the only Nuj user using my specific flip phone, he made the flip phone support robust within a few weeks. That was very, very generous of him and more than any other app developer in that situation would do! I would highly recommend this app to anyone having trouble getting up early in the morning!

I’ve tried so many apps like this and this is the first one I’ve been consistent with for several months. It is also seamless with the clock app which I love. No issues. I do wish there was an option to add a follow up alarm to make sure I’m actually out of bed like 5 minutes after I scan a barcode.

Tried a lot of things to get out of bed in the morning - keeping the alarm in a separate place, natural light, etc. This is the first thing that has actually worked consistently- super smart
