Question 1

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you'll need to create an account. The sign-up process takes less than a minute and includes a brief onboarding to personalize your experience.

Question 2

Is the Nuo app available on iOS and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Nuo app is available on both iOS and Android. Both platforms share the same core features including alarm management, meditation, buddy system, and wellness tracking.

Question 3

What is the buddy system?

Accepted Answer

The buddy system lets you connect with friends and family for mutual accountability. Buddies can see each other's wake-time streaks, share achievements, and send encouragement. Alarm pals are a special subset — buddies linked by shared alarm participation for extra motivation.

Question 4

Who is this platform for?

Accepted Answer

Nuo is for anyone who wants to build better sleep habits and improve their overall wellness. Whether you struggle with waking up on time, want to start a meditation practice, or need accountability to stay consistent — Nuo provides the tools and community support to help.

Question 5

How does the anti-snooze feature work?

Accepted Answer

When your alarm goes off, Nuo requires you to complete a brief wake verification on your phone. You have a 5-minute window to confirm you're awake, with follow-up checks at 15 minutes. If verification isn't completed, the alarm re-rings and your buddies can be notified.

Question 6

How long are the meditation sessions?

Accepted Answer

Sessions range from 5 to 30 minutes, with guided and unguided options. Our library includes meditations for sleep preparation, morning mindfulness, stress relief, and focus. You can filter by duration, category, and experience level.

Question 7

What wellness assessments are included?

Accepted Answer

Nuo includes clinically validated assessments: the GAD-7 for anxiety and PHQ-9 for depression screening. These are taken on a 14-day rolling cadence and your results are tracked over time so you can monitor mental wellness trends privately.

Question 8

What results can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Users typically see improvements in wake consistency within the first two weeks. The combination of social accountability, anti-snooze technology, and mindfulness practice helps establish lasting routines. Track your progress through streaks, achievements, and wellness analytics.

Question 9

Do I need prior meditation experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Our meditation library includes beginner-friendly sessions with clear guidance. The cadence system helps you build a consistent practice gradually, starting with shorter sessions and progressing at your own pace.

Question 10

Can I share my progress with others?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the buddy system. You control exactly what's shared — wake-time visibility defaults to off and you choose which buddies can see your streaks and achievements. Numerical wellness scores are never shared with buddies; only general category labels are visible based on your privacy settings.
