Puzzle Alarm Clock: Tethered

An alarm clock for heavy sleepers that actually works. Puzzle Alarm Clock: Tethered is an extreme puzzle alarm clock with real consequences. Miss your alarm and you lose your pledge. No snooze. No excuses. You’ve tried every puzzle alarm clock. You’ve solved math alarm clock problems half-asleep. You’ve used push up alarm clocks and still gone back to bed. And somehow… you’re still late. WHY MOST ALARM CLOCKS FAIL Traditional alarm clocks rely on annoyance. Puzzle alarms rely on distraction. Math alarm clocks rely on mental effort. But for heavy sleepers, none of that creates urgency. Your brain doesn’t care about solving puzzles at 6 AM. It cares about avoiding loss. That’s why Puzzle Alarm Clock: Tethered takes a different approach. REAL STAKES. REAL WAKE-UPS. Puzzle Alarm Clock: Tethered is an extreme alarm clock for heavy sleepers who are done hitting snooze. When you set an alarm, you attach a financial stake. If you don’t wake up and verify you’re awake before the timer ends, you lose your stake. Simple. Effective. Proven by psychology. WHY TETHERED WORKS - Puzzle alarm clocks are easy to ignore. You can solve puzzles or math problems on autopilot while still half asleep. Losing money instantly triggers action. - Push up alarm clocks are easy to cheat. Shake the phone. Fake reps. Turn it off. Tethered’s verification is designed to prevent shortcuts (with physical challenges coming soon). - Free alarm clocks encourage snoozing. Snooze buttons delay action. Tethered removes the escape hatch entirely.
