....we bring you a new product that helps you do one thing better than any other:
we make you wake up.
The Problem
You know the feeling – you set an alarm the night before, sure you're going to wake up. But when you hear the alarm....and well – you just can't help hitting the snooze button.
You lay in bed too long and end up feeling rushed, frustrated, and tired your whole day.
But what if you didn't have to feel that way? What if you could get up, effortlessly and naturally, at the time you desired?
What would you do with that extra hour? Would you eat breakfast? Would you meditate? Would you exercise?
Shock Clock Wake Up Trainer Will Make You A Morning Person
The Pavlok Shock Clock isn't like other alarm clocks you've tried. Other alarms rely on annoying you until you give up and get out of bed – awake but now in a terrible mood because of your annoying alarm. that is NOT how you want to start your day.
Often, a simple touch can work much better than the sound of an alarm.
The Pavlok Shock Clock is the first device that uses effective, tested sensory inputs to wake you up and keep you alert.
As Seen In
How does it wake me up?

The Shock Clock Wake Up Trainer is the Next Evolution of the Pavlok Alarm Clock App
In 2014, we launched an IGG for the Pavlok Device. The Device was designed to help break bad habits, using a mild electric zap.
The campaign was a huge success, and we successfully fulfilled all of the units to our IndieGogo backers in 2015 (how many times has that NOT happened!!).
Shortly after we started shipping we launched a very simple app – the Pavlok Alarm Clock app. It was (and still is) very basic: one alarm, choose your stimulus, and press save. It's not fancy, but holy @#$% is it effective!
This isn't just some crazy idea – we've had hundreds of Pavlok users testing a simple version of the Alarm Clock software to wake up quickly and feel alert every morning, and their stories are inspirational to hear. Here is what just a few Pavlok users had to say about the basic alarm feature:

If the Alarm App Works, Then Why An Indiegogo Campaign?
We started with the Pavlok Alarm, but users wanted much more.
The Alarm is SIMPLE. It only lets you set a single alarm. You snooze it by pressing on the button --- something several users would do subconsciously.
So we're back on IndieGogo, developing the features to make this the world's BEST alarm clock.

With your help and support we can add three new features:
Snooze Lock: Pavlok Shock Clock will use motion tracking to know when you’re out of bed and won’t let you cheat.
Accountability: Pavlok Shock Clock will let your friends know if you don't wake up----and if you don't get out of bed, optionally give them the ability to zap you awake.
Sleep Cycle Analysis: Pavlok Shock Clock will use motion tracking to know when you’re out of bed and won’t let you cheat.
What's the Difference Between The Pavlok and the Shock Clock Wake Up Trainer?
The original Pavlok is $199, includes the alarm clock app, self zap, habit training, and more.
The Shock Clock is $99, and is focused as an Alarm. (No self zap, better sleep tracking, better motion tracking, etc.)
IF WE HIT OUR STRETCH GOAL OF $50,000, WE'LL ENGINEER THE SHOCK CLOCK WAKEUP TRAINER TO BE UPGRADEABLE (as a paid add-on) TO THE FULL PAVLOK (for IndieGogo Supporters).
This means, you'll be able to upgrade the device to get all of the features of the Pavlok, should you decide to, any time in the future (as a paid upgrade).
Here's the Plan For Stretch Goals:
What Do I Get With The Shock Clock Wake Up Trainer?

The wristband and module of the Shock Clock are meant to be work to bed at night. You set the alarm from the app (available in Android and iOS) and choose how you want to be woken up.
There are three types of wake up options:
Beep
Vibrate
Zap (mild electric stimulus)

When the alarm goes off, the Shock Clock will alert you to wake up using the stimulus you selected. We recommend starting with a beep or vibration to wake up, with a Zap if you don't get up with the beep or vibrate.
How Do I Turn Off The Alarm?
With
Snooze Lock off, You can snooze/turn off the alarm from within the app, or you can short press (snooze) or long press (disable alarm) on the lighting bolt of the Shock Clock module.

ZAP.

Will the Shock Clock Wake Up Trainer Help Me Get To Sleep Earlier?
Dozens of our users tell the same story --- the act of using the ShockClock makes them become morning people. They naturally begin to fall asleep earlier in the evening, converting them from night owls to morning people.
Why We Aren't Like Other IndieGogo Campaigns (hint: you'll actually receive your product on time)
Unlike other projects we have a proven product and we have a proven team. We have built devices before, and we have already engineered this tech. With IndieGogo's support, we'll build the SOFTWARE to make this device the best alarm clock ever.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set the Alarm?
Via Bluetooth and the included iOS/Android App.
Will the alarm still go off if Shock Clock disconnects from my phone in the middle of the night?
Yes the alarm will still work because when you press "save alarm" in the app it actually saves the information to the Real Time Clock memory in the ShockClock, meaning you don't have to keep your phone connected for the alarm to work. Likewise you'll be able to shut off the alarm without connecting to your phone in the morning – only connect when you need to change one of your alarms.
What is the difference between the $129 Shock Clock that ships at the end of the campaign and the $99 Shock Clock that ships in September?
There is no hardware/software difference between the two. We only have a limited number available from our initial production run, so we're offering anyone who is willing to wait for us to replenish stock a lower price. Both will receive the software features at the same time – all features by September.
For those that get the $129 shipping at the end of the campaign they will get the basic alarm app that we have working right now, and they will automatically be enrolled in our "beta tester" group and they'll get the most cutting edge versions of the software features as we develop them.
The feature that I want the most is a stretch goal. If you don't reach the goal, does that mean it will never get developed?
Not necessarily, but it will definitely take us longer. We're hoping that this campaign will be super successful so that we can afford to hire the software engineering talent to develop all of these features quickly & have them work great. The more money we raise, the more features we can commit to by the delivery date in September.
How Can I Choose to Be Woken up?
The Shock Clock will wake you up with haptic feedback: beep, vibration or zap.
How uncomfortable is the zap?
The electrical stimulus is carefully designed so that it is enough to be uncomfortable, but not so strong that it hurts (and nowhere near dangerous – the Shock Clock is CE/FCC certified and 10,000 Pavlok users have proven it is safe and effective). It's a lot like a static shock you get when you touch a doorknob after rubbing your feet on the carpet.
What is the Battery Life?
The battery life ranges from 3-5 days and charges through micro USB.
What Devices are Compatible with the Shock Clock App?
Apps support Android 4.3+ iOS 6+
General Questions
Is There a Warranty? Yes, we offer a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects.
What is The Prospective Delivery Date for the Shock Clock?If you buy the 'Get Shock Clock NOW' perk your Shock Clock will ship once the campaign ends. If you've selected any other package expected delivery is September 2016.
