Every wake-up app assumes the problem is 6:30am. It isn't. It's 1am, when you're fully awake and choose one more video anyway. Owlish goes off at bedtime and won't stop until your phone is face-down and still. Don't want to go? Record 15 seconds explaining why. It keeps the video — and plays you last night's before you record tonight's. Saying "I'm choosing to be tired tomorrow" out loud is harder than thinking it. No account, no server, works offline.
