FAQ
We're here to help, email us at aveirasmartclock@gmail.com if you have further questions.
Does the sensor work through blankets and clothes?
Yes. It senses you right through blankets, clothes, and most materials. It can't work through a wall or a metal headboard, but on a normal nightstand it has worked every single time in our tests.
What if I share the bed with someone who stays up late?
Aveira learns who you are with a quick one-minute setup on your first night. If the other person is still awake but you're asleep, nothing happens. Two people can share one clock.
Is there a camera or microphone?
No - and that's on purpose. Aveira can only sense that someone is there, a bit like a motion light. It can never see you or hear you.
What if I really need my phone in the middle of the night?
For real emergencies, the Aveira Companion App has an emergency button that releases your phone from the dock for a few minutes, then it's back on and the alarm resumes.
Why $99.99?
Honest answer: good parts cost money. A precision 3D-printed body, the sleep sensor, wireless charging, and a real speaker add up. We've priced it as low as we can while still being able to build the first batch.
When will my pre-order ship?
As soon as the first batch is built. We share our progress every week on Instagram (@aveirasmartclocks), and we'll email you your ship date as soon as we know it. You can cancel for a full refund any time before it ships.
How is Aveira different from Screen Time or Do Not Disturb?
Those are settings, and settings can be turned off in two taps. Aveira is a physical object sitting on your nightstand. The alarm keeps going until your phone is actually on the dock, so there's nothing to ignore, reinstall, or switch back on at midnight.
Do I need the app?
You need it for setup, to set your bedtime and wake time, pick an alarm sound, and use the emergency release. Day to day you don't have to open it at all, the clock just runs the schedule you gave it. The Aveira Companion App is coming to both the App Store and Google Play.
Does it charge my phone while it's docked?
Yes. The dock charges wirelessly, so your phone is at 100% by the time your alarm goes off. Docking it at night replaces your usual charging cable.
Will it work with my phone?
If your phone charges wirelessly, it works with Aveira. You just set it down on top, the magnets pull it into place, so there's no cable to line up in the dark.
What happens to my sleep data?
The sensing happens on the clock itself and isn't uploaded anywhere. There's no camera and no microphone, so there's no footage or audio to store in the first place. We don't sell your information, ever.
Where do you ship?
The first batch ships within the United States. If you're outside the US and want one, email us and we'll let you know as soon as we can get it to you.
What if I change my mind, or something breaks?
Cancel any time before your order ships for a full refund, no questions asked. After it arrives, our 90-day warranty covers anything wrong with how we made it, we'll repair it, replace it, or refund you, your choice.
