Not a dev, Biosciences student building WakeGuard from scratch 🛠️

The first alarm app people can actually trust.

Early beta →

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

7 beta signups for an app I haven’t even built yet. 🤯

Every person told me the same: their iPhone alarm failed them for work or exams.

I’m not a dev, but the problem is real. So I’m building the fix anyway.

Day 3 of WakeGuard. 🛠️

Tired of alarms that fail you?
I’m building WakeGuard as a biosciences student with zero coding experience.
Health Engine so far:
✅ Battery protected overnight
✅ Rings on time
✅ Shows above everything
✅ Loud enough
70% done.
Would you use this? 🔥 YES / NO

Transitioned from backend logic to interface testing today. 📱Shipping the QA panel for WakeGuard. 🛠️Testing the 60-second math mission execution loops.Making sure the audio engine never freezes. 🧠#buildinpublic

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

Mapping out the backend for WakeGuard tonight. 🧠System updates shouldn't silence morning alarms. Designing an automated background health check to fix this. Utilities should just work. 🛠️#buildinpublic

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@zaibpreneur Completely agree with you. 💯Perfectionism paralysis is a silent killer. Testing raw ideas beats clean code.Shipping messy progress updates tomorrow!

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

Launching 23 projects sounds impossible.🤯I’m a biosciences student with zero coding skills. Just building my first app feels like a mountain. This chart makes the messy learning curve feel normal.

i just hit $37,000/month on my solo startup, so now i can call it a success i think

but it got me wondering... how many times have i failed so far? and what's my success/hit rate?

📋 23 projects since 2019
🫙 18 misses
❌ 9 abject failures
✅ 5 HITS!!!

@jf_watcher Solo founder (zero coding background) building WakeGuard trustworthy alarm app.

Fits Indie Hackers category. Looking to connect! What are you building right now? 👋

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@BrunoJaamaa Respect the solo founder life! Similar boat — non-technical building WakeGuard after too many failed morning alarms.

Bugs and typos build character 😅 What's your latest small win?

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@phenrysay Solo non-dev (biosciences student) building WakeGuard reliable alarm after my 5AM alarms failed too many times.

Love connecting with mission-driven indie hackers!

What are you building? Early beta open 🚀

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@zaibpreneur Love this shift! As a non-technical founder building WakeGuard in public after personal alarm struggles, 'validate with content before heavy code' is exactly my approach. Currently sharing my journey and early beta. What's one tactic that's worked best for you in 2026 so far?

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@jf_watcher Solo founder here (biosciences background, no prior coding) building WakeGuard the alarm app you can actually trust. Solving my own failed morning alarms. Looking to connect with other indie hackers & productivity builders! What are you working on right now? Let's chat

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@cesaralvarezll Inspiring breakdown! As a biosciences student building WakeGuard from scratch, onboarding lessons hit hard. 🛠️My biggest pain point was phone alarms ghosting my mornings.What is the #1 thing that made their anti-snooze or core reliability stand out? 🧠

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@marclou As a biosciences student building WakeGuard after my own 5 AM alarm fails, I’d love to join virtually! Simple utility reliability is so underrated. Congrats on the 10th! What’s one big lesson from past meetups?

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@Officially_Dev_ As a non-dev biosciences student building WakeGuard after my own alarms kept failing me this resonates. Reliability is everything for morning routines. What's your biggest snooze struggle? Early beta testers welcome!"

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

Every feature feels important when you're building your own product.

That's exactly why most products never launch.

Building WakeGuard is teaching me what NOT to build.

@karisha_abd Congrats Karina! 🎉 First app submission is a huge milestone — most never get here 🔥

Taza App looks clean, love the crescent moon icon. Wishing you fast approval!

What’s the app about? Can’t wait to try it 👀

@rjb_1998 Setting backups and still getting ghosted is brutal. 💀Did the visual toggles still show green afterward?Trying to map out this exact multi-alarm freeze. 🛠️🚀 Action Step

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@AkaneJun_ Overnight reboots trigger a total system lockdown. 💀The encryption blocks background loops until you unlock it. It leaves you completely stranded without warning. 🛠️

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@gayleagueboy Setting backup alarms and still getting ghosted is brutal. 💀The system audio engine must have completely frozen.Did your screen at least light up?

[jayant @jayantmarwaha]

@EdBlock01 True @EdBlock01. As a biosciences student solo-building WakeGuard, consistent mornings start with better sleep + smart alarms. What you do today compounds. Building discipline one wakeup at a time. 💪
