Nuj Alarm Clock

This app is extremely useful if you are someone who struggles with oversnoozing alarms. The consequence system is tunable and effective for people with this issue. It requires you to make a commitment to waking up at a certain time the night before by setting the alarm, and feels rewarding when you successfully complete the alarm task. Greatly improved my productivity and mornings.

This app has been a game changer. I’m 34 and in all those years, even as a kindergartener (seriously, there is a VHS of my first day of school, and I was not having it), I hate mornings. It’s like I am a completely different person. It’s like I don’t have control over myself. It’s always been a huge issue in my life, especially as an adult. I would do anything to keep sleeping. I’ve lost jobs over it. No matter how hard I tried I always failed myself. It’s been very disheartening and I’ve been extremely hard on myself for a long time (I know that doesn’t help). These past couple years I’ve been trying all sorts of “unconventional” alarm ideas. Not a single one beat me… I beat them and kept sleeping peacefully. My partner couldn’t even get me up.. like I said, it’s like I’m not me, I would be mean to them. Everything I tried failed. Until one day, I got on Reddit and read anything I could regarding the struggle of getting up in the morning. I saw a Reddit user stating they designed an app that charges you if you don’t get up. I was afraid it was a scam at first, but after further research it seemed legit and I tried it. LIFE CHANGING. I used the free 5 alarms at first to test it out. For the first time in my life, I got up… and I stayed UP! I wasn’t late to work for an entire week. After that week, I subscribed. $5 is a steal for a service like this. - so thank you to whoever made this alarm, it has completely changed me as a person. I truly fear the day it might *disappear* and not be available anymore. I really appreciate this unconventional tool that has saved me in ways no one could ever understand. < 3
