About Nuj Alarm Clock
Featured in FastCompany:
"There’s nothing quite like a little financially motivated fear to get you moving in the morning"
— from "These 5 alarm apps are sure to wake you up"
Featured on local NBC and CBS TV stations:
"...might be just what you need to finally break the snooze button habit"
— from "What the Tech: App of the Day"
→ How it works:
1. Set an alarm time, and a get up time
2. Add a challenge to prove you got up, e.g. a barcode you have to scan
3. Set a penalty
4. If you don't prove you got up by completing the challenge, e.g. scanning one of the barcodes, by the get up time, you get charged the penalty
For example:
1. Set an alarm for 7:00am with a get up time of 7:05am
2. Add the toothpaste and shampoo barcodes
3. Add a $10 penalty
4. Alarm goes off at 7:00am
5. Get up and scan the toothpaste barcode before 7:05am. Or, don't, and lose $10 (goes to charity)
→ Have you ever turned your phone off to avoid getting up from a different alarm clock app? Nuj is the ONLY alarm clock that includes cheat detection by storing alarms in the cloud! No more cheap tricks!

Game changer
Always struggled with getting up on time if I didn’t have work to get up for or something to get to. Have tried putting my alarm clock across the room and other apps like Alarmy but would always end up back in bed. However, nothing is more motivating than losing actual money. App is a total game changer for my productivity and just general daily life. Shoutout Noel for the idea, thanks man.

Amazing App
The fear of losing money is what gets me up in the morning. Honestly worth the yearly subscription. There’s a measurable consequence for me sleeping in. I always find loopholes in other apps (most of them u can just uninstall them and shut them up) but Noel, the developer, made it so that I can’t even do that. It works. Plus, he’s super responsive and I’ve talked to him a couple of times when I had unique situations. Couldn’t recommend this app more
