I prefer Alarmy[1]. It requires you to take a picture of a specific place to stop the alarm. I have it set to my sink.

Ah that is a cool way of checking where you are - very cool.

This app came mainly from when we were students (now we are self-employed so it's a similar scenario) and had a similar set up where had to go to our basement (where our computers were) and turn off a similar app there.

However, we soon just learnt to turn it off and go back to bed as there was no penalty for doing so.

So by making it be at a place of work/study/exercise that isn't your home, it means you have to really out get of bed to defeat it.

It's all about finding something that works for you.
