All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look too much like a vibrator (sus).

This is the closest I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NNFPHXG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD7FPFQ5?th=1

    What you are looking for is a “Bed shaker”. These are often used by the deaf to wake up. A relatively cheap phone-connected one can be found here but it’s iphone only. This one works with Android. Both use proprietary apps. The website linked was just at the top of a Google search, you can find stuff like this on Amazon as well.

    Isn’t a phone technically a vibrating alarm clock?

    How about a smart watch? I realise this is kind of specific but I have a Pixel 8 phone and a Pixel Watch 2. The alarms sync, and the vibration on my watch is enough to wake me up.

      This is my recommendation as well. Having the alarms sync is one of my favorite things with the watch. And when you stop it on one it stops it on both.

          I use that combination of hardware and Sleep as Android so it starts with just the watch (no noise in the beginning) then escalates to nose and requires me to scan a QR code in the kitchen to fully dismiss.

      And honestly if they’re looking for affordability, I have a $25 mi fit (or at least that’s what it cost when I bought it 6 years ago) that has the same functionality. The app for it is shit, but it does the job.

    Might be kind of difficult to get to sleep with that inside you…

    Unless that’s what you’re into I guess…

      falling asleep is fine, getting good sleep is hard, waking up with a toy inside your now dry hole is rough

        Ok I like to take coconut oil, the kind that’s a solid at room temp, melt it, and let it solidify in ice cube trays at room temp. Then, when I go to put a plug in long term, I pop a lube cube in first. Easy long term lubing

    Why does it need to sync with your phone?

    What’s the goal of connecting it?

    As others have mentioned, I’d look for alarm clocks for deaf people. Many are in the $20 range but don’t do Bluetooth.

    I use a Fitbit flex 2 for that purpose. I doubt they make that model anymore, but probably make something similar. The flex 2 is just a little lozenge-shaped thing that tracks movement, can vibrate, and has a few little lights. The app let’s you set alarms (you turn it off by tapping it). I also have mine set to vibrate when I get a text message or a phone call in case I’m someplace noisy and don’t hear it.

    Try a Mi Band. I usually don’t recommend Xiaomi products because of their heavy tracking and intrusiveness, but if you only use the band during sleep, you should be fine. If you already have the know-how (which I suspect you do), you can control it yourself through Bluetooth, and the band will erase all data it holds once transmitted.

        Throw in a leg strap, and this becomes the best bang-for-the-buck solution.

      Or an Amazfit band (Mi band but the more western-sold version). The Band 5 is pretty cheap and has a decent buzzer.

    You can get alarms that you place under the mattress and they shake the entire bed

      I came to say that! It’s brilliant.

      Maybe OP can strap it to their dick or shove it inside to achieve a desirable effect. I can only vouch for wrist mounted experience.

    My Garmin watch alarm vibrates. It syncs with my phone but I don’t know if alarms can be set from phone.

      I had one of these until I got married. You will wake up, many times in a panic. Good times.
