About DontOversleep: Wake-Up Checks
Here's the clean version: Make sure the people you love are actually up. DontOversleep is a wake-up check, not just an alarm. Schedule a text for someone — your kid before school, a college student before a final, a friend before a flight — and at the set time they get an SMS with one button: "I'M AWAKE." If they tap it, you get a quiet confirmation. If they don't tap it within the grace period you chose, YOUR alarm goes off — a text alert plus a loud in-app alarm — so you know it's time to call, knock, or start the car. How it works Add a wake-up check: who, what time, which days, and how many minutes of grace. At wake-up time, they get a text with a confirmation link. No app or account needed on their side — any phone that can receive texts works. They tap "I'm awake" → you relax. They don't → you get alerted before it's too late. Why people use it Parents making sure a teen is up for school or practice — without the 6:30am "are you up?" text volley Families keeping an eye on a student living away from home during exam week Anyone with an early flight, shift, or race who wants a human backstop Checking that an older parent is up and moving each morning Features Recipients need nothing but SMS — no app, no login, no setup Repeat schedules by day of week, per-check grace periods Confirmation texts when they check in on time (optional) Loud escalation alarm in the app and by text when they don't Activity history: on time, late, or missed, morning by morning Wake-up times are timezone-aware — set 7:00am their time, not yours Simple phone-number sign-in with a texted code. No passwords. DontOversleep never sells your data, shows no ads, and only texts people you add — every message includes opt-out instructions and recipients can stop them instantly by replying STOP. Never let them oversleep again.
What’s new

Set a one-time wake-up check for tomorrow in two taps — it rings once, then switches off. Weekly repeat is still there when you want it. Plus clearer on/off switches for every check.
