I want GetUp to genuinely help you wake up better – not become another gadget in a drawer.

If your brick arrives damaged or there’s a problem with the NFC or magnet, I’ll repair or replace it at no cost to you.

Just reply to your order email or message me via the contact page and I’ll get it sorted.

It rings until you're up. That's the whole product.

How it works

Three steps

Set it

Setup your alarm

Open the GetUp app, set your alarm, and pair it to your brick in seconds.

Stick it

Place your brick

Stick it anywhere that forces you to move — bathroom door, desk, kitchen counter. The further from your bed, the better.

Scan it

Walk to it. Only then does it stop.

When your alarm goes off, it rings until you physically get up and tap your phone on the brick. Starting your day 5 steps ahead.

We make all of it.

GetUp started in my uni room in Exeter. It's now a small team in Norfolk — and we make the whole thing ourselves. We design, build and test the app. We print, assemble and pack every WakePoint by hand. No white-label gadget, no outsourced support. When something goes wrong, you email us and a real person answers.

I don’t think I have ever got out of bed on the first alarm and stayed up. Changed my mornings completely, was skeptical at first that I’d find a ways to stop it as with other ways I’ve tried but you absolutely can’t, it is the answer for serial snoozers!

Worked perfectly outta the box

I have gotten up every day since I started with GetUp 3 weeks ago. My mornings are a lot less rushed and I'm feeling more tired in my evenings because I'm making more use of my day. The app and product have so much potential to grow and I can't wait.

Great

Overall very effective, I'd been wanting something like this for a while. Only reason for 4 star and not 5 is I've come across at least 1 bug where I was up before the alarm and selected to dismiss the alarm early before it was scheduled to go off, I think the app even prompted me to scan the puck. However the alarm still went off despite dismissing it early, which would have been incredibly frustrating had I not been right next to the puck or already in my car. I just know in future now to dismiss early I need to remember to disable the alarm and re enable it later.

You also can't use 1 puck for 2 different phones, I registered the same puck to my sister's phone then when my alarm went off in the morning that puck no longer dismissed the alarm. Had to use an emergency stop then unregistered and reregistered the puck again to get it working.

Works

This tile has been a game changer, as a person who has specific requirements for a silent vibration based alarm i am able to get the vibration to wake me but also the motivation to move and get up to ensure the alarm remains silent since i dont have the ability to snooze the noise for very long! Great at getting me up at the time iv planned and not running late all morning

This product is life changing. I have ADHD and always stayed in bed until I was already late, the morning is a rush and I don’t have time to organise myself before I am running out the door, getting frustrated with my daughter because we are late (which is totally my fault!). Now I get up, scan the brick, make a cup of tea, make my lunch, have a breakfast etc and always leave on time. All without a stress. Our commute in the morning is now calm and we are set up right for the day. There are a few glitches but I won’t be put off by them. You can tell they are continually trying to improve and want feedback to help. This is a brilliant product. I can’t recommend enough ❤️

The alarm works great, I'm almost on a two week streak and can happily say I'm now a one alarm person

Does not work. Received this and tried to set up in the app, on the scan page with the phone ready to scan and nothing happens, as if there’s no NFC chip inside.

Hi Josh, we're sorry to hear you're having trouble setting up the GetUP Wakepoint. You should've received an email and a replacements on the way.

Sorry again, that this has been your experience so far.

Regards,
Harry @ GetUP

Really effective! Handy to use for timers too!

this is the best product I have bought for the price

Really does work!

Really helpful, and does exactly what it says on the tin!
I still don't like mornings, but I am out of bed at least.
Being able to name the different checkpoints and put them in different places is so handy, especially with the timer function.
My fridge checkpoint means I have to get up and check my laundry/cooking, perfect for someone with ADHD!

Still a few minor tweaks and improvements that could be made to the app, but the developers do listen to your feedback, so I'm sure it will only continue to improve.

Absolute game changer. I've always struggled with snoozing in a morning and the guilt that follows when you're late starting the day. I feel much more organised, making the most out of the days, and feel better in myself. Best money i've ever spent

Awesome idea!

Awesome, finally a solution to my snooze addiction! I put it by my kettle so I make coffee straight away

Great device! Has forced me to get up in the morning unless I want to hear the song I’ve selected on repeat! You can add your own mp3 files as your alarm which is great! The only minor issue is that the same 20 seconds of the files plays, but it’s not a major issue! Overall would definitely recommend!

It really is a brilliant invention, and I hope more people are lucky enough to discover it. The concept is genuinely game-changing. Great team who listen to feedback and are constantly updating the app to make it even more intuitive and effected for a snooze free wake up. If you haven been considering investing in this don’t think, just do it! Absolutely life changing.

Honestly didn’t think this would work but here I am 2 weeks later still getting up first alarm.

Best thing I’ve bought in a while. My girlfriend can’t believe I’m actually getting out of bed.

It’s annoying… which is exactly why it works.

No way to cheat it unless you're phone's dead 😂

Such a basic idea but I can’t believe nobody thought of it before.

My screen time in the mornings has gone down loads because I’m actually awake.

I’ve tried maths alarms and QR code alarms. This is miles better.

loving it so far, day 12 and still no snoozing

does what it says on the tin

Didn’t realise how much time I was wasting every morning.

Fantastic - changed my life!

Really hope this keeps getting updated.

FAQs

Questions, answered

Why not just put my phone across the room?

Phone on the dresser still has an off button two feet from itself. GetUp separates the alarm from the off button — the phone rings wherever you keep it, and the off switch lives across the room, inside your checkpoint.

What stops me just turning it off and going back to bed?

To switch it off you have to walk to the brick and tap your phone on it, so by then you're standing up in the kitchen or bathroom. 82% of GetUp users we surveyed never went back to bed after scanning. Most people just keep going.

Can I snooze it?

No, that's the point. If you really need to stop it without the brick, you get 3 Emergency Stops, and one comes back every 14 days. Using one breaks your streak, so you'll only use it when you mean it.

Does it work for heavy sleepers?

It's built for them. GetUp plays through silent mode and Do Not Disturb, full volume, until you scan the brick. There's nothing to outlast.

Do I need a specific phone?

Works on iOS and Android with NFC. iPhone 11+ on iOS 26+, or any NFC Android on 8.0+.

Will it scan through my phone case?

Most cases are fine. Thick, metal, MagSafe or wallet cases can block the signal. If a scan won't go through, take the case off and hold the top of the back of your phone flat on the brick until it buzzes.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay once and the app is yours for life, with every feature included. No monthly fee, no premium tier.

Does the brick need charging or batteries?

No. The chip inside gets its power from your phone for the second you tap it. There's nothing to charge and nothing to replace.

Will it wake my roommates?

Keep the phone next to your head on low volume — loud enough to wake you, quiet enough not to wake the house. The brick takes the alarm off, not the volume.
