Why not just use my phone alarm?

Phones are basically bed magnets. They're designed to keep you scrolling, not rising. Experts say 'no phones in the bedroom' for better sleep. CuckooPad? It's like a friendly morning coach that helps you set boundaries and start your day with intention.

How's this different from just putting my phone across the room?

When you reach for your phone, you're basically inviting chaos to breakfast. Texts, emails, ads - it's like starting your day in a digital tornado. CuckooPad helps you start your day with clarity, not chaos.

Why buy CuckooPad over other "get-out-of-bed" alarms like Clocky, Ruggie, or Pavlok?

Other alarms are like that annoying friend who pokes you awake. CuckooPad? It's more like a personal trainer who makes you reach for something you actually want. No shocks, no chasing, just good old-fashioned behavior science. Wake up with purpose, not panic.

Is this just for "morning people"?

Nope! It's for anyone who's tired of starting their day already behind. Think of it as training wheels for becoming a morning person. Baby steps, one sunrise at a time.

Is there a snooze feature?

We call it the 'mercy minute' - a 60-second grace period for your partner. It's not for you to fall back asleep, it's for them to not hate you in the morning. Consider it a relationship saver.

Nope! In a world where everything wants to beep at you, we're keeping it simple. No screens, no notifications, just you and your morning ritual.

What kinds of things can I put on the pad?

Anything that makes your morning better: coffee, journal, vitamins, running shoes, or even a note that says 'you got this.' It's your morning motivation, you pick the prize.

Can the Pad go in the refrigerator?

Yep! It's fridge-friendly down to 32°F. Perfect for those who need their morning motivation chilled.

Does the Pad have to be plugged in?

Nope! It runs on a rechargeable battery that lasts about two weeks. The Chirper will give you a heads-up when it's running low. Think of it as your morning accountability partner.

What's the wireless range between Pad and Chirper?

It depends on how many walls are between the pad and chirper, but approximately 100'. Range is designed to be sufficient for nearly any situation within a home.

How Does It Work?

Cuckoo Pad is a two-part system that gets you out of bed. The Chirper is the alarm clock — set it with simple buttons, no phone or app. The Pad goes in another room. To turn off the alarm, you must remove an item from the pad.
