If you value subtlety in the mornings, you may want to steer clear of the Pavlok Shocking Alarm Clock. But if you need a serious boost to catapult you out of bed, then this device that promises you’ll never hit snooze again might help you finally wake up on time. The Pavlok alarm is a wearable that doesn’t just rely on noise to rouse you from your restful slumber — instead, it utilizes the vibration, buzzer, and a patent-pending electric zap. Good morning, indeed.
Unlike any other alarm you’ve come across in your past, Pavlok does much more than simply remind you to wake up — instead, its makers claim, “the Shocking alarm clock actually trains you to wake up.” The wearable works simply by pairing with its companion app (for iOS and Android), whereupon you’ll set an alarm that is saved directly to the wearable. This means that even if you decide to turn your phone off, you’ll still wake up to a Pavlok alarm.
And when it comes to actually waking up, you have a few options — there’s the ‘Vibration Only’ mode, which is a silent alarm clock, simply vibrating gently against your wrist to shake you awake. Then, there’s the ‘Vibrate then zap’ option, which takes things to the next level, beginning to zap you after the vibrations alone have proven ineffective for around 60 seconds. And finally, you can select ‘Zap only’ for the times when you just really need to get up — ASAP. The interesting part, however, is that after a few zaps, your body will be trained to wake up before your alarm has the chance to shock you. So if you need to break your late sleeping habit, this may be the tool for you.
Of course, Pavlok understands that sometimes you really do have the time (or the need) to sleep a bit longer — you can snooze the alarm by pressing a button on the wearable itself or by hitting snooze within the app.
So if you’re looking for a better way to wake up, consider ordering this $199 wearable alarm clock, and start your day with a zap.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
