## What is Dawnly?

Can't get out of bed? Dawnly is the alarm clock that makes you prove you're awake. Stop the alarm without solving your wake-up mission and it rings again a few minutes later. There is no snooze button.

On iOS 26 and later Dawnly uses Apple's alarm system, so your alarm rings even on Silent and in Focus, right on your Lock Screen. Tap "Start mission", solve it, and your brain is on before your feet hit the floor.

Built for heavy sleepers, serial snoozers and anyone who wants mornings that actually start. No ads, no account.

WAKE-UP MISSIONS
• Math (free): solve 1 to 3 problems on a big keypad. Easy, medium or hard.
• Focus Tap (free): catch the sun as it jumps around the screen.
• Morning Steps (free): feet on the floor, lights on, glass of water, then hold to finish.
• Memory (Plus): repeat a light pattern. Impossible half asleep.
• Typing (Plus): type a short sentence without typos.
• Object Hunt (Plus): get up and photograph your mug, shoes or the kitchen sink. Checked on your iPhone, never saved.

RINGS AGAIN UNTIL THE MISSION IS DONE
Turned the alarm off in your sleep? Dawnly keeps ringing every few minutes for up to 30 minutes until the mission is solved in the app. Add the optional wake-up check and it rings once more 5 minutes later unless you confirm you're up.

A REAL ALARM CLOCK
• Unlimited alarms with labels, repeat days and one-time alarms
• Skip the next alarm without turning it off
• Six built-in alarm sounds, preview before you pick
• Test any alarm in 10 seconds so tomorrow holds no surprises

BETTER NIGHTS, BETTER MORNINGS
• Bedtime target from your sleep goal and an optional bedtime reminder
• Small evening habits with streaks
• Wake-up journal: how fast you got up, streaks and a quick morning check-in
• Weekly report and streak badges at 3, 7, 14, 30, 60 and 100 days
• Optional Apple Health: see how long you slept last night

WIDGETS AND APP ICONS
• Next-alarm widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy
• Liquid Glass design on iOS 26 and a sky that brightens as your alarm gets closer
