The problem

Most alarms end with a tap.

You are at your most dishonest thirty seconds after waking, and a button is no defence.

In BEGIN, Stop only pauses it. Your mission ends it.

Prove you're up

Five missions.
Pick the one that works on you.

Squats

The front camera counts them. No faking.

Push-ups

The front camera counts them. Chest to the floor.

Math

Solve it before it stops.

Shake

Move the phone until it means it.

Scan

Register a code, put it in the kitchen, go get it.

Carry it past the alarm

Waking up is step one.
Add the rest.

Add checkpoints to your morning, so the morning you planned is the morning that happens.

  1. Alarm6:30
  2. Out of bed
  3. Shoes on
  4. 4At the gym

Keep the streak

No lectures.
Just the record.

Every morning you keep adds to it. Insights show the ones you kept and the ones you didn't.

A bedtime reminder tells you when tonight has to end for tomorrow to work. A home screen widget keeps the next alarm in sight.

Sleep

Tonight decides tomorrow.
Start it from bed.

Tap Start when you get into bed. Fall asleep to rain. BEGIN can count snoring, coughing and sleep talking, on your phone only. Insights show when you went to bed, woke up and got up.

BEGIN Sleep & Bed screen: ready for bed at 10:30 PM, with a Start button, rain sounds and app lockBEGIN Insights, Sleep tab: in bed, bedtime, woke up and out of bed, with a Start sleep button

App Blocker

Lock the apps
that keep you up.

Pick apps with Apple's Screen Time. Lock them now, from bedtime until your alarm, or on nights with no alarm. Ending early costs an emergency unlock.

BEGIN App Blocker screen: five blocked apps, a Block now button, and automatic locking before bed or when there's no alarmBEGIN Insights, Apps tab: locked hours, nights and time per night, with a weekly chart
