No snooze to argue with.
There is no snooze button. The alarm is done once the camera has counted your move, as many reps or steps as you picked. On your morning alarm, you can loosen your neck and warm up first.

The alarm you
have to stand up for.
Bed Quitter keeps ringing until you get out of bed and move: squats, push-ups, jog in place or four more, counted by your phone's camera. After your morning alarm, a quick check five minutes later makes sure you stayed up.

Counted on your phone. No photo or video is saved or sent.
A normal alarm asks for one tap.
You can do that half asleep, and most of us do. Bed Quitter asks for something you can't do asleep: get out of bed and move.
69%
of 1,732 adults in a 2023 survey said they snooze or set several alarms at least some of the time.
22 min
is about how long those who snoozed spent at it each morning.
Seven ways to get moving.
Pick the one that fits.
Pick any of the seven for each alarm, and your phone's camera counts it, rep by rep, or step by step if you jog in place.
-
Squats
Sit back, then stand tall
-
Push-ups
On the floor, phone in front
-
Jog in place
Knees up, on the spot
-
Jumping jacks
Arms up, feet out wide
-
Toe touches
Reach down, then stand tall
-
Lunges
Step forward, back knee low
-
Knee raises
Knee up to hip height
Fits your body.
Choose 3 to 20 reps, with 10 to start, or 30 to 120 steps if you jog. Push-ups can be standard or on your knees.
Fits your room.
Most moves need your phone a few steps back, so it sees you head to feet. Push-ups put it on the floor. Setup shows you where.
Fits your day.
Every alarm keeps its own move and count, so an extra alarm doesn't have to match your morning. Each new move gets a short practice with the camera first.

Hard to ignore.
Easy to live with.
Up, and still up five minutes later.
After your morning alarm, a quick check asks for 3 more reps of the same move, or 10 steps if you jog, so crawling back under the covers doesn't count.
What the camera sees stays on your phone.
Counting runs on your phone, online or off. No photo or video from the camera is saved or sent anywhere. No account needed.
A way out for hard mornings.
If moving isn't safe, hold for five seconds and it stops. That hold is always on screen.
A snooze button only works while you are lying down. Bed Quitter stops once you are up.
Three steps between you and the snooze.

1
Set it the night before.
Pick a time, a move and how many reps or steps. You try your move once in setup, so you know where your phone goes.
-
Example 2
It rings. You move.
Stand your phone where setup showed you and start moving. For push-ups, you move it to the floor just before them. The camera counts each rep or step, and the ringing stops on your last one.

A quick check, five minutes later.
After your morning alarm, the quick check asks for the same move again: just 3 reps, or 10 steps if you jog in place. Then the morning is yours.

Comparing alarm apps? See who Bed Quitter is for, and who it isn't.
Does the camera record me?
No. Frames are read in memory to find your body, then dropped. No photo or video is saved or sent.
Which exercises can stop the alarm?
Seven moves: squats, push-ups, jog in place, jumping jacks, toe touches, lunges and knee raises. Push-ups can be standard or on your knees.
Can I just turn it off?
The quick way out is the five second hold, there for mornings when moving isn't safe. Bed Quitter never blocks your phone's own controls.
What if I'm ill or hurt?
Hold for five seconds and it stops.
How many reps does it take?
You choose, 3 to 20, with 10 to start. Jog in place counts steps instead, 30 to 120, with 60 to start. The quick check after your morning alarm is 3 reps or 10 steps.
Is this a workout?
Not really. It's a few reps to get you up. Your morning alarm can add gentle neck moves and a couple of minutes to warm up before your move, and you can turn the neck moves off.
Where do I put my phone?
Somewhere steady: an arm's length or farther for squats, two to four steps back for the other standing moves, so it sees you head to feet. Push-ups need it on the floor. Setup shows you where for each move.
Does it work in a dark room?
Switch on a lamp so the camera can see your outline, and avoid a bright window behind you.
Does it need the internet?
No. The alarm and the counting run on your phone.
Do I need an account?
No. It works without one. On Android you can sign in to keep a backup and invite a friend.
Which phones?
Android and iPhone, both out on December 1.
