About the Pod

Magnetic back, so it sticks to the fridge.

No battery, no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi. Nothing to charge or update.

About 52 × 75 × 12 mm. Cloud White, Ice Blue or Sakura Pink.

Turning it off means getting up.

Put your Pod in another room, like on the fridge. When your alarm rings, walk over and tap it with your iPhone. By the time it’s off, you’re already up.

one real morning
Setup takes about a minute.

Decide tonight. Get up tomorrow.

Set your alarm when your motivation is high. Morning-you doesn’t get a vote.

what changes

Mornings start when you say they will.

01

One alarm. That’s it.

No more 6:00, 6:05, 6:10. You can’t turn it off from bed, so the first alarm is the only one you need.

02

Mornings without the rush.

The time you used to lose to snoozing comes back. Coffee, a real breakfast, out the door on time.

03

Easier on the people around you.

One tap quiets it for 15 seconds while you walk to your Pod, so you’re not carrying a blaring alarm through the house. Once per alarm.

OPTIONAL · FOCUS MODE

No more scrolling in bed.

Pick your distracting apps. They stay blocked for a while after your alarm rings, so the start of your day is yours.

We know every way
you’ll try to cheat.

WHAT YOU’LL TRY
“Just five more minutes.”No snooze button

Turning it off means getting up and walking to your Pod. By the time you’re there, you’re already up.

“I’ll just leave it on silent.”Rings through Silent, Do Not Disturb and Focus

A locked phone doesn’t stop it. Neither does Do Not Disturb.

“I’ll turn the volume down.”Keep Loud Mode

Turn it on and the volume stays up until you tap your Pod. For people who know their half-asleep self.

“I’ll just move the Pod next to my bed.”You place it at night

You could. But you put it there at night, when you actually want to get up tomorrow.

FAIR QUESTIONS
“What if something comes up?”5 emergency unlocks a month

For sick days and real surprises. They reset monthly and don’t roll over, so they can’t become a habit.

“What if it doesn’t ring?”Built on Apple’s own alarm system

Novu runs on AlarmKit, Apple’s alarm system, so it rings through Silent, Focus and a locked screen. A backup notification follows a minute later. Run a test alarm tonight and you’ll see the whole thing before you count on it.

Pick a spot you can’t reach from bed.

It’s magnetic, so the fridge is the easy pick. A bathroom shelf or the hallway works too, or use the Wall Mount to put it on a wall or door. Any paired Pod turns off any alarm, so keep one at home and one in your bag for trips.

Why the other fixes didn’t stick

A puzzle can be solved half-asleep. Thirty steps to the fridge can’t.

Questions

Still wondering about something? Email support@novualarm.com. It comes straight to me.

Which iPhones does it work with?
Any iPhone running iOS 26 or later, which is most iPhones from the last several years. They all have the NFC reader Novu uses to read your Pod.
See the full list

iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air · iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max and 16e · iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max · iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max · iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max · iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max · iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max · iPhone SE (2nd generation and newer)

Will it wake up everyone else?
It’s one alarm instead of a stack of them. Tap Quiet Walk once and it goes silent for 15 seconds while you walk to your Pod. If you haven’t tapped by then, the sound comes back. It works once per alarm. Gradual volume and vibration help too.
Does it work through a phone case?
Yes, with most cases. A very thick case can get in the way of the tap.
Does the Pod need charging?
Never. There’s no battery inside. Your iPhone does the work when it touches the Pod.
Where should I put my Pod?
It’s less about distance and more about where you want your day to start. Put it where your morning begins, like by the coffee maker, the shower or your workout clothes, so turning off your alarm is already the first step.
What if I lose my Pod?
You can still turn off your alarm with an emergency unlock. You get 5 a month. Then pair a new Pod, or keep a spare in a drawer.
Can I use more than one Pod?
Yes. Pair as many as you like. Any paired Pod turns off any alarm.
How fast does it ship?
Orders ship fast from the U.S., and the average processing time is 1 business day. Shipping is free on orders $35 or more, and you get 30-day returns.
Is my data private?
Your alarms stay on your iPhone. There’s no account to create.
Does it work with Android?
No. Novu works with iPhone only right now.
FROM THE FOUNDER

“Fair warning: it’s annoying. It also changed my life.”

Every Pod is packed by hand in North Carolina. Questions go straight to me: support@novualarm.com

A few months ago I was in a rough spot and pretty unmotivated. I’d snooze five or six times every morning, and once I was finally up I’d lie there scrolling. The worst part was breaking the promises I’d made to myself the night before about what I’d get done. That went on for a long time.

So I built Novu Alarm to take my mornings back. My motivation peaks at night and is gone by morning. This alarm takes the choice away: night-me sets it, and morning-me has to get up and deal with it. No snooze, no scrolling.

It’s annoying on purpose. It’s also genuinely changed my life for the better.

Tomorrow could be the first morning you don’t snooze.
