Walk through a complete night cycle with the Pavlok Reliability Engine — from bedtime health check to morning report.
The first time you open the app, it asks one question: what's your situation?
Your answer configures smart defaults — stimulus intensity, failover behavior, dismissal difficulty — so you don't have to dig through settings.
An IT on-call engineer gets different defaults than someone with narcolepsy. The kill chain is the same. The calibration is different.
You open the app and see READY. Every link in the kill chain is healthy.
Battery at 85% — that's 10.5 hours of protection. Alarm synced to the device hardware. Bluetooth heartbeat active. Touch zap confirmed working.
This screen IS the product. If it's green, you can sleep with confidence. If it's not, you know exactly what to fix.
Tap into the dashboard for the full kill chain breakdown. Each link has a live status.
Green = verified and healthy.
Yellow = searching or degraded.
Red = failed. Fix before sleeping.
Notice the "RUN TEST ZAP" button? One tap fires a 15% test stimulus to confirm the hardware actually works — not just that the software thinks it does.
Set your wake-up time and choose your stimulus strategy. Three types, any combination:
Buzz — gentle vibration for the light sleepers.
Chirp — audible alert, optional.
Pinch — the muscle contraction. The real weapon.
The intensity slider goes to 100%. At 85%, the app warns you: "High intensity can be painful." That's intentional honesty.
Phone Failover is ON by default. If the device can't deliver the zap, your phone becomes the backup alarm.
Your alarm fires. The failover caught the battery death at 4:23 AM and armed the backup. Now you need to dismiss it.
But this isn't a simple "slide to dismiss." The app generates three random characters and shows you their Morse code patterns.
Quick tap = dot. Long press = dash. The "I AM AWAKE" button moves after every tap — random position, random rotation. No muscle memory. No autopilot.
Get one wrong? Progress resets to zero. You must be genuinely cognitively engaged to dismiss this alarm.
The morning report closes the loop with two metrics that matter:
Arrived On Time — the lag measure. The result. 8 of 12 this month.
Woke & Stayed Awake — the lead measure. What you controlled. 9 of 12.
The gap between those numbers is where the app helps most. You woke up but didn't arrive on time once — that's a post-alarm problem, not an alarm problem.
Device health trends catch degradation before it causes a failure. Pinch conductivity down 8% — time to clean the contacts.
Pre-sleep verification. Overnight monitoring. Anti-autopilot dismissal. Morning accountability. 17 links checked, every single night.
