A Clocky alternative that lives on your iPhone
Clocky is an alarm clock on wheels: you can snooze once, then it rolls away beeping until you catch it. Scamper gets the same result on your iPhone: the alarm rings until you walk to an NFC sticker and scan it, and your apps stay locked until you do.

Is there an app like Clocky?
Scamper works on the same idea, you have to get up to stop it, using your iPhone and an NFC sticker instead of a robot clock.
