Your grandparents set alarms on a clock radio and somehow still got up. The tool was never the problem.

Blame lands on the equipment because the equipment is easier to change than you are. People managed to get up on time with a buzzing radio and no apps, which tells you the hard part was never the device, it was deciding the night before that tomorrow would start at a certain hour. Better gear can help a little. It cannot make a decision you have not made.

Notice where you are shopping instead of choosing. A new planner, a different app, better headphones. Skip the upgrade this week and do the plain version of the thing with what you already own.
