What's in the box
One Tiptoe Band per band ordered. It charges by plugging straight into any USB-A port, so there's no cable and no wall plug in the box. Setup guide
Charging and battery
Built-in 60 mAh rechargeable battery. Slide the unit out of the strap and plug it into a USB-A port: the blue light flashes while it charges and stays on when it's full. Hold the button to see the battery %. The maker doesn't publish a battery-life figure, so we don't either.
Water
Fine with everyday splashes and sweat. Not for swimming, showers or baths.
The band
One button. Two alarms. Nothing to pair.
A soft silicone strap with the display built in. Dark until you press the button, and no alarm sound at wake-up time, just pulses on your wrist.

Same alarm time, same room
Your phone has to reach you from across the room. Tiptoe only has to reach your wrist.

Set it. Sleep. Feel it.
Three moments and one button. No app, no pairing, no phone on the pillow.

Set it
Two alarm times, set with the one button on the band. Nothing to pair.

Soft, light silicone, snug on your wrist. The display stays dark. Your phone can stay in the kitchen.
am
Feel it
It pulses on your wrist. You get up. Everyone else keeps sleeping.
Who it's for
For whoever's up first.
-
Early starts
Nurses, tradies, bakers, FIFO. Up at 4 without taking the house with you.
-
New parents
Don't wake the baby you only just got back to sleep.
-
Different schedules
One of you starts at 6, one at 9. Now only one of you knows it.
-
Shared rooms
Hostels, dorms, camp rooms and travel. Be the roommate nobody complains about.
-
Hard of hearing
It works by touch, not sound. Try it alongside your usual alarm before you rely on it.

Why not just use your phone?
Because it's the loudest thing in the room, on purpose.

Reviews
No reviews yet. We won't write our own.
Tiptoe started selling in September 2026. When customers review their band, their words will appear here. Until then, you have 30 nights to judge it yourself: if it doesn't wake you, you get your money back, and you don't post it back.
How the 30 nights workSetup
Out of the box to first alarm in minutes.
Cheap alarm bands come with confusing instructions, or none. We wrote our own, in plain English.
-
Charge it
Slide the unit out of the strap and plug it into any USB-A port. The blue light stays on when it's full.
-
Set the time
Everything is done with the one button. The guide shows every press.
-
Set your alarms
Two separate times: a first nudge and a backup, or yours and a reminder.
-
Wear it snug
Display up, firm on your wrist. Snug is what makes the pulse easy to feel.
Will it actually wake me up?
For most people, yes. A buzz on your wrist is hard to sleep through because it's on your body, not across the room. Wear it snug on the inside of your wrist for the strongest feel.
If you're a very heavy sleeper, keep your phone alarm as a backup for the first few nights. And if it doesn't wake you, you get your money back.
Will my partner hear it?
It's made to be felt, not heard. There's no alarm tone at all. Like any vibration motor it makes a soft buzz up close, which is why wearing it snug on your wrist, not on the bedside table, matters.
How do I set it?
With the one button on the band. There's no app and nothing to pair. Our plain-English setup guide walks you through setting the time and both alarms.
How do I charge it?
Pop the unit out of the strap and plug it straight into a USB-A port, like a laptop or a USB phone charger. The blue light flashes while it charges and stays on when it’s full. There's no wall plug in the box, so if all your chargers are USB-C, a small USB-C to USB-A adapter does the job.
How long does delivery take, and where does it ship from?
Delivery is free and tracked, and usually takes 6–10 business days anywhere in Australia. Tiptoe is a small Australian business. The bands are made in China, like almost every wearable, and ship from our fulfilment partner overseas, which is why it takes a week or two rather than two days. You'll get a tracking link by email once it ships, and there's nothing extra to pay on delivery.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You have 30 nights to try it. If it doesn't wake you, email us for a full refund, with no need to post it back. If it develops a fault within 12 months, we'll replace it. All of this is on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
How long does the battery last?
The manufacturer doesn't publish a battery-life figure, so we won't make one up. It has a built-in 60 mAh rechargeable battery, and the display stays off until you press the button, which saves power. Hold the button any time to see the battery percentage. When it drops under 10%, the blue light blinks twice every 10 seconds to remind you to charge it.
Is it comfortable to sleep in?
It's a light, soft silicone strap that adjusts to your wrist. Wear it snug enough to feel, loose enough to be comfy.
Will it fit my wrist?
The strap is soft silicone with a row of holes and a two-stud clasp, so you adjust it like a watch strap. If the fit doesn't work for you, that's covered by the 30-night guarantee.
Is it waterproof?
The maker rates it for everyday splashes and sweat. It isn't made for swimming, showers or baths, so take it off for those, and make sure the USB end is dry before you charge it.
Does it need my phone, Bluetooth or an app?
No. Everything is set on the band itself, so your phone can stay out of the bedroom.
Can I wear it as a watch?
Yes. Press the button and it shows the time. It also has a basic step counter, but we sell it for one job: waking you quietly.
Why don't you have reviews yet?
Because Tiptoe is new. We started in September 2026, and we'd rather earn reviews than copy them from marketplaces or write our own. That's why the 30-night guarantee exists: try it, and if it doesn't work for you, you get your money back without posting it back.
Is it a medical device?
No. Tiptoe is a vibrating alarm. It isn't designed to diagnose or treat anything, and it isn't a replacement for a smoke alarm, medical alert or safety system.
Tomorrow, only you will know it's 5:30.
