Bedtime & getting up

Let the morning begin somewhere other than your screen.

Half-awake decisions are rarely the ones you planned the night before. Feet First moves the completion of your wake-up routine to the place where you leave Anchor.

The moment

The first reach of the day can set its direction.

The alarm rings, the phone is already in hand, and a few minutes of news or social media can arrive before your feet touch the floor. The intention to get up has to compete while you are still barely awake.

Feet First schedules follow-up rings until scanning Anchor completes the routine. Where you place Anchor determines where the morning asks you to go.

How Anchor fits

Build the get-up action into the alarm itself.

  1. 01

    Schedule Feet First

    Choose a one-time or repeating wake-up schedule and confirm the permissions used by your iOS version.

  2. 02

    Place Anchor before bed

    Use a dresser, bathroom counter, or another accessible place that requires you to leave the pillow.

  3. 03

    Scan to complete the routine

    Follow-up rings remain scheduled until the scan completes the routine, subject to your phone state and permissions.

A practical setup

Try a gentler first morning.

Make the walk short enough to be realistic and long enough to change your physical state.

  1. 1

    Choose tomorrow, not forever

    Start with a one-time schedule, then make it repeating once the placement feels right.

  2. 2

    Keep the path safe

    Place Anchor somewhere unobstructed, reachable, and appropriate for a dark or early-morning room.

  3. 3

    Optionally quiet the night before

    Bedtime Lock can keep selected distractions out of reach overnight as part of the same evening routine.

Make the next choice physical

Choose the boundary. Put it somewhere real.
