NOX – The Social Alarm Clock
A digital product that lets you wake up with videos from your friends and in turn wake them up.
Unique in the world
NOX delivers an unprecedented wake-up experience that lets you be woken by messages from loved ones, concert memories, humorous videos, poetry readings or any other fragment of life. Our product turns the most difficult moment of the day into a source of emotion and motivation to start each morning with energy and purpose. Beyond just waking up, users can create their own “noxes” by filming their passions and creative ideas to wake up friends, family or users around the globe.

Whether you are a student, parent, professional or retiree, you can start your day with an alarm that brings emotion, energy and motivation.

Connected object
NOX will also become a connected device capable of projecting the videos you chose to wake up onto walls or ceilings. With this device, your wake-up becomes an immersive and personalized experience, harmonizing light, imagery and atmosphere for a more pleasant and motivating start.
The mental return
The genesis of NOX starts from the observation that what we call “waking up” does not always mean returning to awareness. Waking is a choice that precedes the will to fall asleep, and achieving it depends on a “mental return”: the ability to regain a level of lucidity sufficient to embrace the challenges of awakening. Every morning, a tug-of-war sets in between the will to rise and the biological need for sleep. A lack of lucidity can lead someone to act against their own will and fall asleep again: that is a wake-up without a “mental return”.
Woken up by a voice
Throughout history, many methods have been devised to trigger that mental return, often with limited efficiency. NOX hypothesizes that the probability of achieving that return could be significantly increased with an autonomous device capable of reminding you of the stakes of waking up. Indeed, a voice delivering a message rooted in reality would be far more effective by providing the lucidity needed to stay awake and resist the urge to drift back to sleep.
Woken up by the social world
Beyond simply being woken by a voice—your own or someone else’s—the NOX concept takes on its full meaning when this autonomous device that reminds you of your wake-up stakes connects to the social world. Imagine a community sharing messages or recordings to wake each other up, turning the act of waking into a commitment that demands presence. NOX was born from the idea that no alarm is more effective than one that lets our social environment remind us of the importance of waking up.
