Getting out of bed in the morning is not always an easy task. I’ve always found it a bit easier when there was someone waking me up, as opposed to a boring alarm going off. Of course, if you live by yourself, it’s not easy to have someone wake you up. That is why TalkO’Clock was created.

TalkO’Clock is a free service that will let you set an alarm, and when it goes off, your phone will ring. On the other end of the line will be a random person, who will convince you to get up and start the day. You’ll be able to specify the gender of the person calling, or their friendly robot will do it (if no one is available). Neither party will see the other’s number, so you don’t ever have to speak to each other again. All you’ll need to do is download the app on your iOS or Android phone and either set an alarm, or specify that you want to wake someone up. The apps aren’t live just yet, but hopefully they will be very soon.
