About Build Good Habits

(The team behind Skiparoo)

We design technology that forces you to win the day.

Everybody already knows they’d feel better if they got up on time, moved their body, and stayed off their screens. You don't need more information. You don't even need more motivation.

What you need is a fail-proof system.

That’s why Build Good Habits was born. We design tactical, high-reliability electronics that make you do the things you know are good for you—even when you don't feel like it.

OUR MISSION

To build purposeful electronics that help people take control of their day, turning daily routines into powerful, life-changing habits.

Meet the Founder

I’m an electronics engineer. For the past seven years, I’ve designed hardware across industrial, consumer, and military sectors—including Class 3 life-critical systems for Boeing and intercoms for thousands of prison cells.

But despite building fail-proof systems for a living, my own mornings were broken. I was constantly snoozing, grabbing my phone, and doom-scrolling in bed. It was ruining my mental health and stealing my time.

I realized that getting out of bed couldn't be a decision left to the least motivated version of myself at 6:00 AM.

Drawing on the principles of James Clear’s Atomic Habits, I engineered a solution based on two rules:

  1. Increase Friction: Make the bad habit (snoozing) physically impractical.
  2. Commitment Device: Use your good intentions the night before to lock in a choice that benefits you the next morning.

Skiparoo started as a rough demo board and a skipping rope from the local shop. After months of testing, refining, and waking up on time every single day, it became the flagship product of Build Good Habits.

BUILT BY AN ENGINEER. DESIGNED FOR RESULTS.

Skiparoo isn’t just another white-labeled gadget—it’s engineered from the ground up to be bulletproof.

Here is why you can trust the tech behind the jump:

  • 100% Custom Engineered: We design our own circuits and write our own firmware in-house. That means no glitches, no loopholes, and an alarm that fires perfectly every single time.
  • Obsessive Quality Control: Because we control the final assembly and testing right here in our lab, every device is rigorously checked before it reaches your nightstand.
  • Built to Last: We applied industrial-grade engineering standards to a consumer product. Skiparoo is designed to take a beating, survive your morning frustration, and keep you accountable day after day.

Designed & Tested in Melbourne

We aren't a massive, faceless corporation. We are a startup on a mission to help people reclaim their time and mental health.

Every Skiparoo is designed, assembled, and rigorously tested right here in our Melbourne office before it ever reaches your nightstand.

What’s Next?

Skiparoo is just the beginning. We are actively developing new products designed to get you moving, get you off your screens, and help you build better routines.
