Many people rely on smartphone alarms but struggle with repeatedly snoozing notifications without fully waking up, which is why Lasso Alarm Clock is a hardware-assisted alarm system designed to encourage users to physically leave their bed before an alarm can be dismissed.
The system pairs a smartphone alarm with a separate physical device placed elsewhere in a room. To stop the alarm, the user must walk to the device and interact with it rather than silencing the alarm directly from their phone.
By introducing a physical action into the wake-up process, the product aims to make alarm dismissal more intentional and reduce the likelihood of immediately returning to sleep. The approach combines mobile software with a dedicated hardware accessory.
