You'd rather solve something.
Some alarm apps stop once you solve a puzzle, type a phrase or scan a barcode in another room. Bed Quitter has no task like that: you stop it by moving, or with the five-second safety stop.
Out December 1, 2026 on Android and iPhone
What is Bed Quitter?
Bed Quitter is an alarm app that keeps ringing until you get out of bed and move. You pick one of seven moves, like squats or push-ups, and your phone's camera counts your reps on the phone itself. There is no snooze button.

How it works
- 1
Set it the night before.
Pick a wake-up time, one of the seven moves and how many reps or steps. You try your move once in setup, so you know where your phone goes.
- 2
It rings. You move.
Stand your phone where setup showed you, a few steps back so it sees you head to feet. Push-ups put it on the floor. The camera counts each rep or step, and the ringing stops on your last one.
- 3
A quick check, five minutes later.
After your morning alarm, it asks for 3 more reps of the same move, or 10 steps if you jog, so getting back into bed doesn't count.
Your morning alarm, the one you get up to, starts with a short routine: stand up, five gentle neck moves you can turn off, and 1 to 3 minutes of warm-up. If you stop moving for 20 seconds, the alarm comes back at full volume.
If moving isn't safe, hold for five seconds and the alarm stops. That hold is always on the camera screen, and Bed Quitter never blocks your phone's own controls.
What the camera sees stays on your phone
The front camera finds your body in each frame on the phone itself, in memory, to count your reps. No photo or video is saved, uploaded or shared, and counting works without the internet.
You don't need an account. On Android, signing in with Google is optional: it keeps a backup of your alarms, settings and results, never a photo, video or body points from the camera, and lets you invite a friend. The details are in the privacy policy.
What's optional
| Neck moves | Five gentle ones before your morning move, on to start. You can turn them off. |
| Extra alarms | Up to four, for a nap or a nudge, at least 20 minutes apart. |
| Skips | Up to two a week for your morning alarm, set before it rings. |
| Google sign-in | On Android, for a backup of your alarms and results, and to invite a friend. |
| A backup file | Save your alarms and results to a file and bring them to a new phone, with no account. |
| Sharing | After a good morning, a card with the time you got up and your reps. |
| Diagnostics | Off unless you turn them on. |
Who should pick another kind of alarm
Bed Quitter asks you to stand up and move where your phone can see you. That suits plenty of people, but not everyone. Another kind of alarm app may suit you better if one of these sounds like you.
You can't move safely first thing.
If an injury, dizziness or a health condition makes standing up and exercising risky in the morning, pick an alarm that doesn't ask for it. The safety stop is there for a hard morning, not for every one.
Your room can't fit the camera.
Most moves need your phone a few steps back, so it sees you head to feet, and a lamp on in a dark room. Push-ups need space on the floor.
You want sleep tracking.
Bed Quitter doesn't track your sleep, play sleep sounds or choose a lighter moment to wake you. It rings at the time you set and gets you up.
Questions people ask
Is Bed Quitter out yet?
Not yet. It's due out on December 1, 2026, on Android and iPhone.
Is it on iPhone?
It's due on iPhone on December 1, 2026, with Android. The iPhone app is still being built, so some details on this page may differ there.
Can I turn it off without exercising?
Yes. Hold for five seconds and it stops, for mornings when moving isn't safe. Bed Quitter never blocks your phone's own controls.
Does the camera record me?
No. Frames are read in memory to find your body, then dropped. No photo or video is saved or sent.
Does it need the internet or an account?
No. The alarm and the counting run on your phone. On Android you can sign in with Google to keep a backup and invite a friend.
Does it work in a dark room?
Switch on a lamp so the camera can see your outline, and avoid a bright window behind you.
Is this a workout app?
Not really. It's a few reps to get you up: 3 to 20 of the move you pick, or 30 to 120 steps if you jog in place, with a short warm-up before your morning alarm's move.
