Setup guides and answers about GetOut, the app and ordering.
Getting started
- Open GetOut on your iPhone.
Follow setup to allow alarms and connect your puck.
- Choose your alarm.
Set your wake-up time and repeat days. Put your puck away from your bed before you go to sleep.
- Scan your puck.
When the alarm goes off, get up, open GetOut and scan your puck to finish the alarm.
Scanning your puck
Tap “Scan puck” in GetOut and hold the top of your iPhone close to the puck. Keep it there briefly while the scan completes.
My puck isn’t being recognised.
Check that you’re using a puck that’s connected in the app. Start a fresh scan in GetOut and hold the top of your iPhone close to the puck again. If your case gets in the way, try scanning without it.
What if I can’t reach my puck?
You need one of your connected pucks to finish an alarm. You can connect more than one, so keep a spare in your bag for travelling. With a single puck, take it with you, or scan it to turn off your alarms before you leave.
Can I use more than one puck?
Yes. Connect as many pucks as you like in the app’s settings and give each one a name, such as Kitchen or Travel. Any connected puck finishes your alarm.
Morning Protection
In the app’s settings, open Morning Protection. Allow Screen Time access, choose the apps, categories and websites you want to block, and select 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour. Tap “Save and enable”. Your selection is blocked when your alarm goes off and stays blocked until you scan your puck. The extra time you chose starts from that scan.
Do I have to block my apps?
No. Morning Protection is optional, and you choose what it blocks.
My apps are still restricted.
Check the end time in GetOut’s Morning Protection settings. The timer starts when you scan your puck, so scanning later means your apps unlock later. If you haven’t scanned yet, your selected apps stay blocked. Other Screen Time restrictions may also apply.
The basics
What is GetOut?
GetOut is an iPhone alarm app that comes with a small physical puck. Leave the puck away from your bed, then get up and scan it with the app to finish your alarm.
Why a physical puck?
Keeping the puck away from bed means you have to get up to scan it. Put it in the kitchen, bathroom or across the room. Its magnetic backing also lets it attach to your fridge.
How does the alarm work?
Set an alarm in GetOut. When it rings, get up, open the app and scan your puck to finish the alarm. There’s no snooze button in GetOut.
What if my iPhone is silent, switched off or out of battery?
GetOut uses your iPhone’s own alarm system, which is designed to sound in silent mode and during a Focus. An iPhone that is switched off or out of battery can’t ring, and a low alarm volume in iPhone Settings makes the alarm quiet. Charge your iPhone overnight, and run the wake-up check in the app’s settings to hear a real alarm.
Silencing a ringing alarm doesn’t finish it: GetOut schedules follow-up alarms, and a puck scan cancels them. Even so, no app can make an iPhone alarm impossible to miss. Don’t rely on GetOut alone for anything you can’t afford to sleep through.
The app
Which phones work with GetOut?
GetOut is being built for iPhone with iOS 26.1 or later. It uses your iPhone’s NFC reader to scan your puck. There isn’t an Android version at the moment.
What is Strict Mode?
Strict Mode prevents deleting apps, including GetOut, while an alarm is armed. It’s optional and requires Screen Time access. Scan your puck to turn Strict Mode off.
Is there a subscription?
No. The GetOut app is included with your puck. No subscription needed.
What does the dashboard show?
Your next alarm, wake-up streak, an estimate of time reclaimed, and a bedtime suggestion based on your sleep target. Time reclaimed uses the usual snooze time you set, so it’s an estimate rather than a measurement of screen time.
