Sunup Block
Break the snooze habit. The Sunup Block pairs with our free app (iOS & Android), together they force you out of bed and into your day.
1. Set your alarm, pick your time and difficulty in the app.
2. Hide the block, place it outside your room, away from bed.
3. Scan to wake, the alarm won't stop until you're up and scanned your block.
Because free alarm apps don't fix the real problem, you can snooze, silence, or delete them in seconds. Sunup isn't just an alarm; it's a system that forces action. It rings next to you and won't stop until you physically get up and scan your block. That tiny shift is what breaks the snooze cycle and builds a morning routine that actually sticks. Free apps don't do that, Sunup does.
Yes. Sunup works on Android as well as iOS.
No worries, you're covered. If Sunup doesn't help you wake up better, or just isn't for you, you've got 30 days to send it back for a full refund. No stress, no hassle. But if it does work, and it usually does, you'll be glad you gave it a shot.
You could try, but if that worked, you probably wouldn't be here. Be honest: where has it gotten you so far? If you've been fighting your sleep and snooze habit for years and nothing's changed, there's a word for that, insanity. Sunup takes the responsibility off your half-asleep self and puts a system in place that forces action, so even when willpower fails, you still win.
Yes, and that's exactly what sets Sunup apart. It's not about waking up once; it's about doing it every morning until it becomes second nature. Forcing you out of bed to stop the alarm builds real consistency, and when your mornings change, everything else follows. Most people don't need more motivation; they need a system that makes it harder to quit. That's what Sunup is.
You can use an emergency stop to turn the alarm off without scanning. You only get a limited number of them, so they're there for real situations, not as another snooze button.

Compare Every Sleep Solution
No Snooze. No Stop.
The alarm can't be snoozed or stopped from your phone, at all. The only off switch is getting up and scanning your Sunup Block.
Best for
Chronic snoozers who tap snooze on autopilot and lose 30–40 minutes every morning. If you've ever snoozed five times without remembering, this removes the option entirely.
Volume Lock.
Once the alarm fires, the volume is locked where you set it. You can't turn it down, mute it, or flip the silent switch to escape it.
Best for
Deep sleepers who silence a loud alarm half-asleep and sleep right through. Great if you've ever missed a flight or an exam because the volume mysteriously ended up at zero.
Unkillable Alarm.
Swiping the app away, force-quitting, or locking your phone won't stop it. The alarm keeps ringing until you scan the block.
Best for
The swipe-it-closed-and-roll-over crowd. If your reflex is to kill the app the second it rings, there's no longer an app to kill your way out of.
Undeletable Alarm.
Once an alarm is set, you can't delete or disable it before it goes off. Your past self locks it in; your half-asleep self can't quietly cancel it.
Best for
People who turn their alarm off half-asleep before it rings and don't remember doing it, then wake up hours late wondering what happened. This is the fix for I-swear-I-set-it.
App Blocking.
Until you get up and scan your block, your most distracting apps stay locked, so you can't lie in bed scrolling instead of getting up.
Best for
Anyone whose I'm-awake turns into 45 minutes of doomscrolling under the covers. The scroll can happen after you're vertical, not instead of getting up.
Undeletable App.
While your alarm is set and ringing, you can't delete the Sunup app to make it stop. No uninstalling your way out at 6am.
Best for
The determined snoozer who'll try anything, including deleting the app, to kill the noise. This closes the very last loophole.
Focus Window.
Set how long App Blocking and Deletion Protection keep holding after your alarm goes off, from a few minutes up to an hour. You're already up and scanned, but the distractions and shortcuts stay locked so the morning actually starts.
Best for
People who get up, scan, and then immediately crawl back onto their phone, or quietly delete tomorrow's alarm the moment they can. It keeps the guardrails on past the wake-up itself, so getting out of bed actually sticks.
Sound Shuffle.
Sunup rotates your alarm sound every day so your brain never gets used to it. Hear the same tone every morning and it fades into background noise you can sleep right through, a fresh sound each day stops your brain from learning to tune it out.
Best for
Anyone whose alarm used to work but doesn't anymore, you jump up the first week, then start sleeping through the exact same sound. If your go-to alarm has quietly stopped waking you, this is why, and the fix.
AlarmKit (iOS 26) Power.
Built on Apple's native AlarmKit on iOS 26, so the alarm fires reliably through Focus modes, Low Power Mode, and the background, the way a real alarm should.
Best for
Anyone burned by a third-party alarm that just didn't go off. If reliability is non-negotiable (flights, exams, early shifts), this is the foundation everything else sits on.
Silent Mute Option.
Mute the alarm once for up to 120 seconds, just long enough to get up and out to your block without blasting the whole house.
Best for
Partners, roommates, and parents of light-sleeping kids. You still have to get up and scan, but you won't wake anyone else doing it.
Sound, Vibration, or Both.
Pick how your alarm reaches you: sound only, vibration only, or both together. Vibration-only wakes you in total silence, no noise at all, so you’re up without disturbing a partner, roommate, or sleeping kids. Sound and vibration are set independently, so you dial in exactly the mix that gets you up.
Best for
Anyone who shares a bed or a room and doesn’t want to wake the whole house, and people who simply wake better to a buzz than a beep. The same relentless wake-up, on your terms, loud, silent, or both.
Choose Your Wake-Up Style.
Pick how you wake, gentle tones for light sleepers, loud and relentless for deep sleepers, or upload your own sound and wake to whatever actually gets you up: a favorite song, a hype track, even your kid's voice.
Best for
Couples on totally different settings, anyone who's jolted awake too harshly or sleeps straight through soft alarms, and people who'd rather wake to something personal than a generic beep. One size doesn't fit every sleeper.
Fade-In Wake.
An optional gentle ramp-up: the alarm starts soft and grows louder instead of blasting at full volume the instant it fires.
Best for
People who hate the heart-attack jolt of a sudden alarm, light sleepers, and anyone who wants a calmer start that still escalates until you're actually up.
Customer Reviews
I needed this.
“Perfect solution to being able to sleep through anything. I've slept walked to alarms in my room and have turned them off. I've slept talked to Alexa to turn off alarms. This makes me get up and walk to the bathroom to start my morning routine. I love it. I emailed the team a suggestion and they were very responsive!”
Changed my mornings forever
“I have always been a night owl and felt guilty about not being able to maximize my mornings like many of my peers. I saw this on social media and figured I'd give it a try. I've had it for two weeks and have woken up at 6a every single workday (pro tip: put the block by your coffee maker) and I've worked out or gotten some early morning work done before my kids woke up like I've always dreamed up. Seriously this little gadget has been a game changer for my mornings.”
Wakes me EVERY SINGLE TIME.
“As a 43 year old deeper sleeper, I've always had troubles waking up. From Day 1 of using the simple app + device, SUNUP solves this, for me.”
MY SAVIOR ❤️⏰
“LOVE your app and block, thank you. 🙏 I've needed something like this all my life. I have ADHD and low dopamine in the morning means it's so hard to wake up and get out of bed! Since I've bought Sunup, I've never been late to anything. It feels so good to have control of my life again. Thank you, thank you!”
Can't help but love it even when you hate it
“This little cube is impossible to ignore, so much so that I love it and hate it at the same time! It works so flawlessly that I can't help but recommend it, especially if you struggle with hitting the snooze button.”
A simple but life-changing tool
“I host the morning show for a local NPR station, that means I get up at 2:35 a.m. every day! With that schedule, Sunup has been absolutely life-changing for me. But I have not overslept once since I started using the Sunup last summer. As a person with anxiety, it's such a comfort to know that, without a doubt, the alarm will go off and immediately get me up and out of bed. It's a peace of mind that's pretty much priceless.”
Saved me from being chronically late
“I just started nursing school and knew my current habits were not going to cut it anymore. I always cut my alarm off and go back to sleep, or set 10+ alarms and only get up after the very last one. With Sunup, I set the alarm, then leave the block on my fridge downstairs. When the alarm goes off it is LOUD and DOES NOT stop until you physically tap the block. I love that you can silence it for up to 20 seconds, out of consideration to my family members who are sleeping! This is the first thing to actually force me out of bed and works consistently.”
Shockingly, this gets me out of bed.
“I've been a chronic oversleeper my whole life. I've tried tons of approaches to changing that without any success. Having a baby forced me to try something new. I'm 5 weeks into using this app and associated NFC brick and other than a few times early on when I crawled back into bed after trekking to the kitchen to find the brick, I'm a changed man. This thing worked for me when nothing else had!”
Finally, no more Snoozing!
“I never thought I'd break the habit of endlessly hitting the Snooze Button! This app has truly helped salvage my mornings! I highly recommend it!”
Skeptic turned believer
“I was skeptical this would work for me. I'm a chronic snooze hitter and have tried almost everything. Got Sunup as a Hail Mary and it has been working for the few weeks I've had it!! Nothing has stuck this long before so I am beyond happy with it. I tell all my friends about it!”
Works like a charm
“As a chronic snoozer, I have been delightfully surprised by the power of Sunup! I have been up at 5am with more time to read, exercise, and eat a solid breakfast. All things I wasn't able to do by snoozing.”
Works from day one. Better every week.
Sunup forces you up from the very first morning. But keep it going and your body adapts: a steady wake time resets your internal clock, so mornings get easier, your head gets clearer, and the wins stack week after week.
Why Sunup crushes every other alarm
It's not your fault. Your alarm was never built to change behavior, and your bed is engineered for comfort. Sunup is different, it forces action.

Absolutely. There's no limit on how many people connect to one block, as long as you all have physical access to it, you can all use it. Each phone's app is unique to that user, so everyone sets, edits, and deletes their own alarms independently.
You can use an emergency stop to turn the alarm off without scanning. You only get a limited number of them, so they're there for real situations, not as another snooze button.
