A clever new alarm clock for people who struggle to get out of bed in the morning. Place the physical device somewhere far away from your bed. In the morning, you have to get up, walk to it and tap it to shut off your phone's alarm.
My name is Mark. I have over a decade of experience as a designer and a lifetime of experience hitting the snooze button.
I've tried every product and trick in the book to get out of bed on time. Most alarm clocks (no matter how loud or annoying they are) are simply too easy for me to turn off before crawling right back into bed. For years this idea followed me around...what if there was an alarm clock that not only got me out of bed, but away from my bed?
I found that there are very few products out there that do just that. And the few that do, are not very well designed. I wanted to build a product that was not only effective for people like me, but one that looked good, felt good and was a delight to wake up with every morning.
I left my corporate job in April 2024 to build full time, and with the help of some old friends from design school, produced what I think is a pretty great MVP (I use it every morning).
But I'll let PH be the judge!

@konrad_sx yessir that’s definitely on the roadmap. Decided to tackle iOS first for the mvp

Lasso adds a clever layer of physical friction to waking up ⏰📵 No more blind snoozing—tap the device, not just your screen. Smart move for chronic oversleepers.

This smart alarm clock is perfect for heavy sleepers—it forces you to physically get out of bed and tap the device to silence your phone’s alarm, turning groggy mornings into energized starts.

Haha I love the idea Mark. A bit violent but I love it. Would love to have a progressive cool sound like birds or waterflow.
@codewithguillaume definitely something we want to introduce! For now, you do have the option for the volume to gradually increase, giving you a chance to get up before it gets too loud. And the snooze lets you silence it while you walk to the device, but you only get one so it won’t let you fall back asleep. Not as violent as it sounds I promise!
A thoughtful take on solving a real-world problem with both function and form in mind. How does this alarm adapts to heavy sleepers with irregular routines or shift work, have you tested for that use case?
@shahriardgm thank you Shahriar! You can set multiple alarms to account for different schedules. And the alarm gets pretty loud if you don’t respond to it. We’ll definitely be listening for feedback from the really heavy sleepers and doing everything we can to make it more effective for them

I just put my phone out of reach before I sleep when I'm in danger of snoozing...
But I see this device has advantages.
Will you make it work with Android also?
