Touchstone Buy — $95

Your alarm stops when you touch the stone.

Not a button. Not a swipe. A piece of concrete across the room — and the walk to it is what wakes you up.

Why it works

A normal alarm is within reach.

You hit it half asleep, and you don't even remember doing it.

Touchstone fixes that by moving the off switch. The stone lives across the room, on a dresser or a bathroom counter. When the alarm goes off, your phone keeps ringing until you get up, walk over, and tap it to the stone.

By the time you've done that, the lights are on and you're up.

The walk is the wake-up.

6:30 am. One way to make it stop.
How it works
1
Put it across the room

Bathroom counter. Coffee maker. Your desk. Anywhere you have to stand up and walk to.

2
Set an alarm

Free app, iPhone and Android. A normal alarm clock — until it goes off.

3
Tap the stone to stop it

That's the only thing that stops it. By the time you're there, you're awake. That's the product.

A phone resting against the stone — the stone is about half the phone's length.
Smaller than your palm.
Heavier than your phone.

291 grams of cast concrete. No battery, no charging, no pairing — the tag inside is powered by your phone for the fraction of a second it takes to read.

Cast by hand

Concrete doesn't come off a line.

Poured by hand in the USA, one at a time. Cured overnight to 10,000 psi. No two stones alike.

The body is white UHPC tinted with charcoal. The dome is cast separately and bonded on. The small marks in the surface are the concrete's own, and unique to each stone.

Wet grey concrete freshly poured into a blue silicone mold.
The white dome, just poured into its round mold. The finished stone on the workshop bench: grey concrete body, white dome.
Side view: grey cast concrete body, white moulded dome.

You're going to ask
Can I still snooze?

Yes, on your terms, not your 6 a.m. self's. When you set the alarm you decide whether snooze is allowed, for how long, and how many times. In the morning that's the deal you get. Once it's spent, the only way to stop the alarm is to walk to the stone.

What if I'm away from the stone?

Hold your thumb on the ringing screen for a full thirty seconds and the alarm stops. Long enough that you'll be awake; never trapped.

Does it ring through Silent and Do Not Disturb?

Yes. The app schedules real system alarms — the same kind your built-in clock uses — and survives a restart.

Can two people share one stone?

Yes. Pair both phones to the same stone; each phone's alarms are its own.
