## What is Dawnlock?

Snooze, scroll, late. Dawnlock breaks the loop.

Dawnlock is a real alarm clock. It rings through Silent mode and Focus, on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch, even when the app is closed. To turn it off, you do a short wake-up mission. Until you do, your most distracting apps stay locked.

WAKE-UP MISSIONS
• Math: solve a few problems (easy, medium or hard)
• Type it out: type a line exactly. Hard to fake half-asleep. (Pro)
• Scan a code: register your toothpaste or coffee, then walk over and scan it (Pro)
• Shake: shake your phone until the bar fills
• Walk: get up and take real steps (Pro)
• Photo: snap the same spot you picked, like the bathroom sink (Pro)
• Memory: remember the tiles that lit up (Pro)

NO SLEEPING THROUGH IT
• Swipe the alarm away, or hit the volume or power button, and it rings again, louder each time
• Stop never turns it off: it rings again a minute later until you do the mission (add a few snoozes if you want them)
• Wake-up check: a few minutes after your mission, confirm you're still up (Pro)
• Can't do a mission right now? Switch to a backup. You're never stuck.

APPS STAY LOCKED TILL YOU'RE UP
Pick the apps you scroll in bed. They lock at bedtime or when the alarm rings, and unlock when your mission is done. Try it free for 3 mornings. It always unlocks after your safety window, no matter what.

NEVER MISS A MEETING
• Real alarms before your calls, with a Join button for Zoom, Meet and Teams (Pro)
• Smart wake: rings earlier when your first meeting is early (Pro)

AND
• Quick naps with a Lock Screen countdown (Pro)
• Gentle sounds that build up, and loud ones for heavy sleepers
• Streaks and insights on how fast you really get up
• Widgets, and Siri: "Start a nap in Dawnlock"
• Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking. Your alarms, calendar and photos never leave your iPhone.

Dawnlock is free with one alarm, the Math and Shake missions, re-rings and 3 mornings of the app lock. Dawnlock Pro adds unlimited alarms and naps, the Type it out, Scan, Walk, Photo and Memory missions, the app lock every morning with Strict mode, the wake-up check, meeting alarms, smart wake and full history.

Pro is $6.99 a month or $29.99 a year, and renews automatically until cancelled in Settings. Terms of Use: https://doveling.app/dawnlock/terms · Privacy Policy: https://doveling.app/dawnlock/privacy
