Clocky is a mobile alarm clock on wheels that will run away and hide from you, thus forcing you to get out of bed in order to find it and turn off the alarm. Clocky was developed by a MIT graduate student Gauri Nanda in order to solve the problem of oversleeping. Nanda later founded a company, Nanda Home, in order to sell Clocky and other home products.
