Upp.ai: the alarm that stays on until you are up
A snooze button lets you go back to sleep. Upp.ai takes it away: the alarm keeps going until you prove you are up, by standing in front of the camera or doing push-ups. We designed the phone app and the owner's admin dashboard.
What did BetterAI build for Upp.ai?
BetterAI designed Upp.ai, a wake-up app with an alarm that does not stop until you complete a promised action on camera: standing up or doing push-ups. It has onboarding, alarm setup, analytics, referrals, three themes and a web admin dashboard for the owner.
What problem does Upp.ai solve?
Most alarms come with a snooze button, so many people snooze. Upp.ai opens with snooze statistics and the idea that habits take time to build, then answers with one rule: the alarm does not turn off until you complete your promised action.
