Why use it

Wakeup Buddy vs. Alarm Clocks vs. Mobile Alarms

Alarm Clocks

  • Loud, jarring buzzers first thing in the morning
  • Tempting snooze button within easy reach
  • Same sound every day, little variation
  • No context about your schedule or goals
  • Zero encouragement, support or guidance

Wakeup Buddy

  • Friendly buddy greets you by name every morning
  • Gentle wake-ups with routines you choose yourself
  • Mini challenges to build lasting, healthy habits
  • Integrates tools like calendar, news and meditation
  • Guided start that reduces doom-scrolling and stress

Mobile Alarms

  • Linked to notifications and late-night scrolling
  • Easy to swipe away and fall straight back asleep
  • Default tones feel harsh and impersonal
  • No support for routines, reflection or goals
  • No positive feedback or check-ins over time
