No dock. No hardware. No excuses.

The alarm that stops when you're actually up.

You can't silence it from bed. Alarm Shift turns off when you walk to a device you've chosen — your router, a speaker, your watch. Get up, walk over, done.

Why Alarm Shift

Three reasons it beats a dock-based alarm

Most "get out of bed" alarms sell you a physical tag you have to buy, place, and never lose. We took the hardware out of the equation.

01

$1.99 a month. That's it.

No device to purchase, no shipping, no accessories. One small subscription and every feature is included, on every phone you own.

02

Nothing to buy or plug in

There's no dock to order, unbox, mount, or replace the battery in. Nothing to forget when you travel. Install the app and you're set tonight.

03

Any device becomes the trigger

Your Wi-Fi router, a smart speaker, your watch, your headphones — anything with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in your home can be the thing you walk to.

How it works

Three steps, once.

Pick your wake-up device

Choose any Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth device in your home — ideally in a different room from your bed.

Calibrate in 30 seconds

The app reads the live signal, asks how far away you're standing, and learns what "near" means in your space. Every room is different.

Get up and walk over

When the alarm rings, walking to your device is what stops it. Stay in bed and it keeps going.

Works with what you already own

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or both

Pick whichever is furthest from your bed. The app reads signal strength — the same thing your phone uses to draw its Wi-Fi bars — and works out how close you actually are.

Advanced: bring your own sensor

Already running a Wi-Fi sensing node at home? Alarm Shift can read presence from a RuView device instead of raw signal strength — point the app at its address and it becomes your wake-up trigger. RuView is a separate open-source project (MIT), not made by us, and it's entirely optional.

Smart Shift · in development

It will read three fields. Nothing else.

Smart Shift moves your alarm when your morning changes. Letting an app near your calendar is a big ask, so here is exactly what it looks at — and everything it deliberately ignores.

Reads next 48 hours only
  • Start timeTo work out when you'd need to be up
  • TitleSo it can tell you why your alarm moved
  • StatusConfirmed or cancelled — that's the whole signal
Never touches
  • AttendeesWho you're meeting is none of its business
  • Descriptions & attachmentsNever read, never stored
  • Past eventsOnly the next 48 hours are considered
  • Any serverThere isn't one. It stays on your phone

and says why out loud

Off by default. Every change is shown and logged, you can decline any one of them, and disconnecting deletes the local model in a single tap. Calendar sync is still in development — the rest of the app works today.

Everything else

Built to wake you kindly

🗣️

It explains itself

If your alarm moved, it tells you why out loud, in plain language, instead of just going off early.

📅

Smart Shift

Optionally follows your calendar — earlier for a new early meeting, later when something is cancelled. Off by default.

FAQ

Questions

Do I need to buy anything?

No. Alarm Shift uses the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals your phone can already see. There's no dock, tag, or accessory to purchase.

What can I use as my wake-up device?

Anything in your home that broadcasts Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — your router, a smart speaker, a TV, headphones, or a smartwatch. Pick something in another room so you actually have to get out of bed.

What if the signal reaches my bed?

That's what calibration solves. It measures the real signal and asks how far away you're standing, so "near" means near in your home rather than a generic threshold. You can also pick a device further away.

Does it work if the app is closed?

Yes. Alarms are scheduled with the operating system, so they fire even when the app isn't running or the phone has restarted.

Is my data collected?

No. There's no account and no server. Alarms, sleep history and calibration are stored only on your phone. Location permission is used solely to read Wi-Fi signal strength — the app doesn't use GPS or track where you are. See the privacy policy.

Which phones does it support?

Android 7.0 and newer. Wi-Fi proximity is available now; Bluetooth proximity is rolling out.

Set an alarm. Get up. That's it.
