Absurdly loud. Actually beautiful. Up to 113 dB, with a stop button you have to stand up and hold.
It wasn't laziness. You set an alarm. It didn't work.
Rebooking fee, and you watched it pull away from the gate.
Two warnings put you on the list. The third isn't a conversation.
"Sorry I'm late" works twice. Then you're "that person."
Every alarm you've tried — you've slept through.
Phones whisper at 80 dB. Clocks reset on a power cut. Neither is loud enough, and neither is worth looking at.

We think an alarm should win. So we built one that does.
113 decibels that don't stop until you stand up and hold the big red button.
Press, turn, press. Ten seconds. No menus.
Full volume — and it stays on until you get up.
Hold the red button three seconds. By then you're awake. That's the trick.
Every 10 dB sounds twice as loud.
Phone alarm: about 80 dB. ACU-01 target: 110–113 dB. Roughly 8× as loud.
No mode button. The dial's position is the mode.
Shows the time. At your alarm, the siren fires at full volume.
Turn to 25, it counts down. At zero it sounds. Back to 0 cancels. A focus timer that keeps your phone out of your hand.
Simple enough to use half-asleep.

Industrial emergency-stop button. Hold it 3 seconds to stop the alarm.
Press first, then turn. Sets the clock and the alarm — and can't be changed by accident.
Clicks through 5 to 60 minutes. 0 is the clock, anything else is a countdown.
Turn it down for light sleepers. It never goes fully silent.
