The Alarm you can't snooze
Stop losing your mornings to snooze. Wake up when you said you would.
It’s not that you’re lazy.
Your alarm is just badly designed.
01 — Snoozing is too easy
You can silence a normal alarm with one thumb, half-asleep, without even opening your eyes.
Your brain learns: “Alarm = quick tap, back to sleep.”
02 — Your phone hijacks your half-asleep brain
The moment you grab your phone to stop the alarm, you see messages, socials and notifications.
“I’ll just check one thing” turns into 20 minutes of scrolling in bed.
03 — No friction, no state change
You can turn off a normal alarm without leaving your duvet. There’s no movement, no light, no real wake-up signal.
Staying in bed is the path of least resistance – so you take it.
How it works
setup your alarm
Open the GetUp app, set your alarm, and pair it to your brick in seconds.
Place your brick
Stick it anywhere that forces you to move — bathroom door, desk, kitchen counter. The further from your bed, the better
Walk to it. Only then does it stop.

FAQs
Questions, answered
Why not just put my phone across the room?
Honestly, it's a decent first step — and it's where I started. The problem is that "phone on the dresser" still has an off button two feet from itself. You walk over, tap dismiss, and your warm bed is six feet away. Most people end up back under the duvet within a minute.
What GetUp actually changes is that it separates the alarm from the off button. The phone keeps ringing wherever you keep it — the off switch lives across the room, inside your checkpoint. So you can stick the brick where your day actually starts: bathroom sink, kitchen counter, gym kit, outside the bedroom. By the time you've turned the alarm off, you're already standing in the place that gets your morning moving.
Does it work for heavy sleepers?
It's built for them. Most alarms ring for 30 seconds and silence themselves — heavy sleepers can sleep right through that. GetUp doesn't stop. It plays through silent mode, through Do Not Disturb, full volume, until you scan the brick. There's nothing to outlast.
If you need even more protection, we have a selection of extra loud alarms which fire even louder than the apple ones!
Will it wake my roommates?
This is one of the things GetUp actually solves. Because the noise-maker (your phone) is separated from the off button (the brick), you can keep the phone right next to your head on a low volume — loud enough to wake you, quiet enough not to wake the whole house. The brick takes the alarm off, not the volume.
If you've got an Apple Watch, you can take it further: set a vibration-only alarm on the watch, no sound at all. Wrist buzzes, you get up, you scan the brick. Nobody else knows it happened.
Do I need a specific phone?
GetUp works on both iOS and Android — you just need a phone with NFC.
- iOS: iPhone 11 or newer, running iOS 26 or above.
- Android: any NFC-capable phone running Android 8.0 or above.
