Set up your Novu Pod in just a few minutes. Download the app, pair your Pod, put it somewhere that gets you out of bed, and you’re ready for your first alarm.
Everything you need to go from opening the box to setting your first Novu alarm.
Download Novu Alarm from the App Store and open it to begin setup. The app will walk you through the permissions needed for reliable alarms.
During setup, Novu Alarm will ask you to pair your Pod. When prompted, hold the top of your iPhone against the Novu Pod until the app confirms the scan.
Your Pod works best when it isn’t within reach of your bed. Pick a place that gets you standing and moving before your alarm can be dismissed.
Across the room, beside the bathroom sink, or near your coffee maker can all work well.
Create your alarm and customize the sound, repeat days, vibration, and other settings the way you want.
When the alarm goes off, tap Tap Novu Pod to Dismiss, walk to your Pod, and hold the top of your iPhone against it.
App Blocking can temporarily block distracting apps after your alarm is dismissed. It’s completely optional, but it can help keep a quick morning scroll from turning into another hour in bed.
Three quick checks will make sure everything is ready before you go to sleep.
Use Test Alarm once after setup so you know your sound, permissions, and dismissal flow are working.
Make sure your alarm sound and vibration settings feel right before relying on Novu for the morning.
Put it somewhere that requires you to stand up and leave it there before heading to bed.
If pairing, NFC scanning, alarms, or App Blocking aren’t working the way you expect, we’re here to help.
