Get Started
iOS
Android
Download on the App Store
1
Download and open Unbed. Install from the App Store and go through the quick onboarding. You'll need to scan your block to access the app.
2
Pair your Unbed Block. Tap Activate and hold the top of your phone (near the camera) against the block, like tapping to pay at a store.
3
Set your first alarm. Tap + Add Alarm, pick your time, choose which days (or leave empty for one-time), select a sound, and adjust volume, vibration, and fade-in. Hit Save.
4
Go to sleep. Leave Unbed running in the background overnight and don't force-quit it. On iOS 26, enable AlarmKit in settings so your alarm rings even if the app is closed.
5
Wake up and scan. When the alarm goes off, tap Stop and scan your Unbed Block to dismiss it. Place as far as you need so you have to get out of bed. No more snoozing. No more wasted time in bed.

Go to sleep. Unbed uses Android's built-in alarm system so it fires reliably, even in Doze mode. Just don't force-stop the app in your phone's settings.
6
Wake up and scan. When the alarm goes off, tap Stop and scan your Unbed Block to dismiss it. Place the block outside your room so you have to get out of bed. No more snoozing. No more wasted time in bed.
