The alarm that won’t stop until you get out of bed.

Your thumb can reach the phone without the rest of you waking up. That’s the whole problem. Snooze, dismiss, “5 more minutes,” seven times in a row. The decision to get up happens while you’re still mostly asleep, and asleep-you always votes for the pillow.

PROVE IT is a free iPhone app that fires an alert that won’t shut up until you tap a PROVE IT Sticker. Put the sticker far from your bed. Your body wakes up a bit while you slither over to tap it, and by the time the noise stops, you’re standing in the bathroom. That’s the trick. That’s the whole trick.

6:30 Alarm goes off. And goes off. And goes off.
6:31 Walk to the sticker. Tap your phone to it. Stop the madness.
Ugh. Fine. You’re up.

Pick Nudge, Rally or Holy sh*t. All of them re-arm until you tap. There is no volume of “just ignore it” that works.

Each PROVE IT Sticker has a unique signature. The wake-up alert only stops at the wake-up sticker; tapping the meds sticker on the nightstand does nothing. And because your phone powers the sticker when you tap it, there are no batteries to die and nothing to charge.

You get 3 free bail outs. No charge, no judgment.

People use the same alert for taking meds, leaving for appointments on time, logging off work, and going to bed. Add a location so it only fires when you’re home, and it stays quiet at the movies.
