Every Alarm Punishes Two People

One person needs to wake up. The other doesn't. Traditional alarms don't care. Vibrating wristbands are easy to sleep through. So you've been stuck choosing between being rude and being late.

The Guilt Alarm

Your 5:30 AM alarm jolts your partner awake. They lose sleep. You feel terrible. It happens five days a week, 260 mornings a year.

The Wristband Cope

Vibrating bands are easy to sleep through, uncomfortable to wear, and dead by Thursday because you forgot to charge them. A workaround, not a fix.

The Slow Resentment

Sleep disruption erodes patience. Different schedules shouldn't mean shared suffering. Nobody's talked about it, but it's there every morning.

68¢/morning

Your partner loses about 20 minutes of sleep every time your alarm goes off. That's 87 hours a year. Beamwave fixes that for less than a dollar a day.

Parametric Sound, Precision Delivery

Three acoustic principles combine to create directional audio — no headphones, no speakers under pillows, no wristband workarounds.

01

Ultrasonic Emission

19 piezoelectric transducers emit 40 kHz signals — far above human hearing. Individually inaudible. Together they form the carrier wave that makes directional sound possible.

02

Nonlinear Demodulation

Where ultrasonic beams converge in air, nonlinear acoustic interactions demodulate the carriers back into audible frequencies. The air itself becomes the speaker — but only in the target zone.

03

Spatial Cancellation

Outside the beam cone, phase-misaligned waves cancel through destructive interference. 70 dB inside the beam, under 30 dB outside. A wall of quiet.

Who It's For

Couples

Different Schedules

She's up at 5:30 for the gym. He sleeps until 7. Beamwave wakes her while he stays under. No more whispered apologies at breakfast.

Roommates

Shared Rooms

Dorm rooms. Studio apartments. No walls? Doesn't matter. Beamwave is the wall.

Shift Workers

Odd Hours

Nurses, firefighters, pilots — anyone whose alarm fires at 3 AM while the rest of the house is dead asleep. They'll never know it went off.
