Wake Up Early
Tonight decides tomorrow

Become the person who's up at 5:30.

Commit to a wake-up time tonight and back it with real money. Get up and it costs nothing. Sleep in and your stake is gone. It's remarkable what $10 on the line does at 5:30 AM.

Commit to tomorrow morning Free. Your card is only charged if you sleep in.

One night, start to finish

Wake Up Early is a commitment device. Here's the whole mechanism, in the order it happens.

Tonight 9:47 PM

Make the commitment

Choose tomorrow's wake-up time and stake an amount that stings a little. $5, $20, $50. Your card is saved but nothing is charged.

Tomorrow 5:30 AM

Your wake-up window opens

The alarm goes off and the clock starts. Get out of bed and check in inside the app to prove you're up before the window closes.

Minutes later 5:45 AM

One of two mornings

The window closes and the stake settles itself:

You got up

You pay nothing. Your card is never charged, and the morning is yours.

You slept in

Your stake is charged to your card and every cent goes to charity.

No subscriptions and no fees, ever. The only money that moves is a stake you slept through, and it goes to charity, not to us.

Tomorrow starts before sunrise.
