All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look too much like a vibrator (sus).

Isn’t a phone technically a vibrating alarm clock?
The vibrations aren’t strong enough
Depends where you put it.
Smart watch? Research which ones have a strong vibration. Some are good, some suck.
A phone won’t vibrate strongly enough for you? You could adjust the intensity of those you know
How about a smart watch? I realise this is kind of specific but I have a Pixel 8 phone and a Pixel Watch 2. The alarms sync, and the vibration on my watch is enough to wake me up.
And honestly if they’re looking for affordability, I have a $25 mi fit (or at least that’s what it cost when I bought it 6 years ago) that has the same functionality. The app for it is shit, but it does the job.
that is one way to wake up
Rise and shine where the sun don’t shine…
Use a Hitachi Magic Wand and an outlet timer.
Or a hammer drill with no bit on it…duct taped to the bed frame. Bam instant earthquake style alarm.
I use a Fitbit flex 2 for that purpose. I doubt they make that model anymore, but probably make something similar. The flex 2 is just a little lozenge-shaped thing that tracks movement, can vibrate, and has a few little lights. The app let’s you set alarms (you turn it off by tapping it). I also have mine set to vibrate when I get a text message or a phone call in case I’m someplace noisy and don’t hear it.
Hadn’t thought about using a sports watch, will try for sure. ty sir🫡
Look up the PineWatch. Its as affordable and Open Source as it gets
Love mine, but the motor is a little weak
It has the feature built in. You can get one for about $50 and it works well
Why does it need to sync with your phone?
What’s the goal of connecting it?
As others have mentioned, I’d look for alarm clocks for deaf people. Many are in the $20 range but don’t do Bluetooth.
smart watch?
You can get alarms that you place under the mattress and they shake the entire bed
Like this one?
Yes, I like the Sonic Boom.
My Garmin watch alarm vibrates. It syncs with my phone but I don’t know if alarms can be set from phone.

This says it’s bluetooth with android and apple but I don’t know what the bluetooth connection syncs…
Well my samsung galaxy phone and my samsumg galaxy watch are in sync
Bed shaking devices/deaf alarm clocks
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Just use a Japanese Train Conductor Bed that automatically makes you sit up!

Get yourself a Garmin watch.
This is a stupid answer, but you could buy a cheap android phone. The carrier-locked phones are very inexpensive.
