You have a turning-off-the-alarm problem. BarLock keeps ringing until you get up and scan a barcode across the room. No snooze. No negotiating.\n\nPick an alarm time, scan a barcode or QR code on something that lives away from your bed, and that exact code becomes the only way to stop the alarm. Toothpaste, coffee, medication, a notebook. Anything that forces you to stand up.\n\nHOW IT WORKS\n\n1. Create an alarm.\n2. Scan a barcode or QR code on an item away from bed.\n3. Name the item.\n4. When the alarm fires, walk to the item and scan it.\n5. Wrong item, wrong code, or no scan? The alarm keeps ringing.\n\nWHY IT WORKS\n\nMost alarms die from one tap while you are still half asleep. BarLock moves the off switch across the room. By the time you have scanned, you are on your feet, and getting on your feet is the whole battle.\n\nBUILT FOR\n\n• Heavy sleepers\n• Students with early classes\n• Shift workers\n• Serial snoozers\n• Anyone who turns off alarms without remembering it\n\nWHAT YOU GET\n\n• An alarm only your chosen barcode or QR code can stop\n• A full-screen Scan to Stop screen the moment it rings\n• Wake-Up Check. BarLock rings again a little later to make sure you stayed up.\n• Backup Alerts. Opened the alarm but never finished the scan? It comes back.\n• Lock Window. In the minutes before it rings, the alarm can't be edited, paused, or deleted without a scan. 2 a.m. you can't sabotage 7 a.m. you.\n• Tiptoe Mode. A few quiet seconds after you press Stop, enough to reach your item without waking the house. Miss the scan and the volume comes back.\n• Stickers. Keep getting up and you'll earn them, in holographic foil.\n• Alarm sounds built to cut through deep sleep\n• Everything stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking.\n\nWHAT'S INCLUDED\n\nOne barcode alarm, one sound, and the standard wake-up rules. Enough to fix tomorrow morning.\n\nBARLOCK PRO\n\nPro is a one-time purchase. No subscription.\n\n• Unlimited alarms for weekdays, naps, travel, and backups\n• Tiptoe Mode\n• Your own settings for Lock Window, Backup Alerts, and Wake-Up Check\n• Your sticker collection, revealed in full holographic color\n• Every alarm sound in the app\n\nPRIVACY\n\nYour alarms and scanned codes never leave your device. No account, no advertising, no tracking.\n\nStop snoozing. Scan to stop.","facts":{"developer_id":1896060625,"developer_url":"https://barlock.app","first_released":"2026-06-09T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://barlock.app/","privacy_url":"https://barlock.app/privacy","website_url":"https://barlock.app/","app_version":"4.1.0","release_notes":"Change one part of an alarm without going through the whole setup again.
