Shortcuts + NFC Setup
This guide pairs iOS Shortcuts with your NFC tag to create an unkillable wake-up system. Follow each step carefully.
1
Write Your NFC Tag
Download a free NFC writing app like NFC Tools from the App Store. Open it, tap Write → Add a record → Text, type RISEUP, then hold your iPhone to the NFC tag until it confirms the write. Stick the tag somewhere far from your bed — kitchen, bathroom, front door.
2
Create a "Stop Alarm" Shortcut
Open Shortcuts app → tap + → name it "Stop Alarm". Add these actions in order:

① Set Volume to 0% — this kills the sound
② Open URL — paste this app's URL (or tap "Open App" → Safari if running locally)
③ Wait 2 seconds
④ Set Volume to 50% — restores normal volume

This shortcut will run when you scan the NFC tag.
3
Create NFC Automation
In Shortcuts, go to Automation → + → NFC. Scan your NFC tag when prompted. Set it to run your "Stop Alarm" shortcut. Critical: toggle OFF "Ask Before Running" so it fires instantly when you scan.
4
Set Your iOS Alarm
Use the built-in Clock app to set your alarm. For maximum annoyance: pick a loud sound, set volume to max, and disable Snooze. The alarm will only be silenced when you physically walk to your NFC tag.

Pro tip: Set a second backup alarm 2 minutes later just in case. Once you're up and walking, scan the tag to log your wake in this app and keep your streak alive.
5
Add This App to Home Screen
In Safari, tap the Share button (square with arrow) → "Add to Home Screen". This makes Rise & Scan look and feel like a native app. Open it each morning after scanning to log your wake and build your streak.
💡 How It All Connects
Alarm goes off → you're forced out of bed → scan NFC tag → Shortcut auto-silences alarm + opens this app → tap "I'm Up!" → streak logged. The NFC tag is your key. No scan = no silence. No cheating.
🔒 Anti-Cheat Tips
• Put the NFC tag inside a cabinet so you can't just sleepily swipe at it
• Use Screen Time to block yourself from opening Clock settings during alarm hours
• Set Focus mode to disable Control Center during sleep hours (prevents volume changes)
• Place tag next to your coffee maker — by the time you scan, you might as well brew a cup
