Nuj Alarm Clock

I went from needing 5 alarms and missing all of them to getting up within 5 mins! For those that have poor discipline in the morning this app is for you :)

This app is one of the hidden gems out there; an absolute essential for those who struggle to get up in the mornings and work for myself. This app is amazing as it quite literally forces you to get up as me personally am not going to pay a fee every time I want to lay in bed for an extra 10 minutes. Very clever idea and an absolute necessity for me now

I have tried many systems out there and spent a lot of money I would say after testing several products inc pavlok devices and also alarms like alarmy, this by far is the best app for getting up when you want to, simple system, fine and lock in 1h before are genius!

Subscription models is not longer contentious anymore and that’s fine. But $5 a month? Everything’s increasing in price but this is just an alarm app, albeit a pretty decent one with a few performance issues here and there. Further discounted yearly pricing could sway me back.

This app has changed my life. Literally nothing else I have tried over the years has gotten me out of bed consistently until I found this app. I am getting up consistently now and being way more productive in the mornings. Also whenever I have had any questions the developer has been super responsive on the live chat.

Been using this app almost daily for just under two months, it’s a really good idea. It helped to increase my morning productivity when needed. Plus if you miss your alarm for whatever reason, the money goes to a good place. However, got left with a sour taste when recently I was awake, standing in my bathroom, ready to scan the barcode I needed to end the alarm, when it wouldn’t open up and the timer expired, charging me $5. I asked support if they could reverse this one. I’ve missed alarms in the past - I’m not trying to get out of giving $5 to charity. I genuinely thought something had bugged out. If they had just said no, then that would have been OK I guess, but the creator of the app emailed me to say that he had checked my account activity and that they had proof the scanner hadn’t been opened and they were therefore not refunding the $5. Guy went off rambling about accountability, also saying I could provide evidence to the contrary if I so welcomed. LMAO - so essentially calling me a liar. IDK if it was the app or my phone itself or my internet connection, but the app froze and I could not open the scanner. I am NOT lying. Safe to say I’ve cancelled my subscription. Pro-tip: don’t call your customers liars. It’s not a good business model.

I have tried a few alarm clock ‘wake up’ apps and they all had the same issue in that they could be cheated, by turning off the phone, silencing alarms etc. This app prevents that problem and as far as I know is the only app that does so. I have never been a morning person. This app has no doubt prevented me lying in bed for hours. This value is why I continue to pay the app subscription even though I have few app subscriptions. The dev is also very responsive and helped me make a feature work. One potential feature could be to add puzzles or maths problems. This would help to make sure you are not only physically awake but also ‘mentally’ awake!

Noel from Nuj customer support was especially helpful in solving any issues or queries. Would 100% recommend this app to people. It has been an essential part of my morning routine.

I’ve suffered Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder since I was a teenager, and I spent years going to a sleep clinic, and taking sleep drugs. This app has changed my life. Making the item to scan be far away from my bed, somewhere with lots of life and breakfast etc really helps switch me into a daytime sleep routine! I’ve had to orient my whole life around this sleep disorder (working nights for example), but now I can exist at the same time as my friends and family. So it’s truly life changing. Thank you!

I’ve been paying for this app for a good few months now and it’s one of the only apps I pay a subscription for, because it genuinely fixed my problem of not being able to discipline myself to get up on time as I don’t work set hours. Super clever idea yet so simple that anyone could use it - just set the time, penalty and how you’ll prove you are up and it will lock it in an hour before the alarm - completely uncheatable. I love the new feature that counts your steps as proof - great way to get energized for the day ahead. It would be great to see more physical activity as proof somehow or even puzzles or trivia. Also, the app support has been super helpful and friendly if ever I have needed to reach out. Definitely worth a download to try it out for yourself!
