## What is DrawWake?

"Five more minutes" - gone.

DrawWake is an alarm clock you stop by drawing today's prompt.
Tapping a button won't do it. By the time your hand is drawing lines,
your head is already awake.

■ How you stop it

1. The alarm rings (it shows on the Lock Screen too)
2. You get today's prompt - "popcorn," "rabbit," "violin"
3. You draw. Set your own time limit, from 20 to 600 seconds
4. Draw it properly and the alarm stops

The screen is a sheet of paper, and you pick a colour the way you pick a
crayon out of the box.
Skill is not required. The app looks at how much you drew and, on your device
only, at what the drawing might be - so a clumsy sketch still passes.
But a couple of dots won't get you out of bed.

■ On a morning with no time, don't draw

Each alarm can be set to skip the drawing, so that day it stops like an
ordinary alarm clock. You decide in advance, not while half asleep.

■ Every drawing becomes a card

The moment the alarm stops, your drawing is saved as an instant-photo style
card with the date and time on it. Look back later and you'll see "so I was
up at six that day."

・Dress up the card - frames, shadows, stamps
・Favorites, decoration, and export
・Syncs privately across your own devices via iCloud

■ For people who can't keep it up alone

・Groups: everyone draws the same prompt, medals go to whoever woke first
・Today's awards: best drawing, oddest drawing, fastest to finish,
　longest waking streak, perfect attendance
・Today's vote: a different question each day, one vote per person,
　for someone other than yourself
・Friends: see your friends' mornings in the feed and stories
・Send prompts: "draw this tomorrow." Those drawings glow like fire
・Streaks and a weekly summary image

The same "tomato" comes out completely different from person to person.
Seeing that first thing in the morning is a real reason to keep going.

■ It works as a normal alarm clock

・Time, weekday repeats, and specific dates
・Snooze (you can set how many times)
・24 alarm sounds and volume control
・Use your own recorded voice, or a song from your Apple Music library
・Lock Screen Live Activity - you can see it ringing
・Time limit per prompt, and how many drawings per alarm

■ Timer and stopwatch

・Timer: build your own list of the lengths you actually use, up to
　23 hours 59 minutes. Reorder, delete, keep
・Stopwatch: to a hundredth of a second, with laps
・Both can be controlled from the Lock Screen

■ Morning weather, and a rain radar

Hourly forecasts run 48 hours ahead, the daily forecast 10 days, and
temperature, feels-like, wind, humidity, pressure and UV each get their own
graph. The rain radar works anywhere in the world.

The alarm can also read the weather aloud - including "rain is forecast,
take an umbrella." Pick a region by hand, and while one is picked your
location is not used at all.

■ Available in 15 languages

Prompts are written for each language, so a prompt sent by a friend
overseas shows up in your own language.

■ To keep it a safe place

・Reporting posts and blocking users are both supported
・You can delete your account and data from inside the app at any time
・Your drawings and alarm settings live in your own iCloud

■ Premium (optional)

Alarms, timer, stopwatch, weather, prompts, drawing, saving and sharing are
all free. Premium only adds conveniences.

・Unlimited gallery (free keeps the most recent 100)
・Posted images kept indefinitely (free: images go after about 20 days)
・A 36-colour crayon box (free: 12)
・All 24 alarm sounds (free: 19)
・All themes, photo profile icons, and streak freezes
・Remove the DrawWake name from images you share

Monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions, or a one-time lifetime
purchase. Cancel subscriptions anytime from Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.

One drawing at a time, starting tomorrow morning.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.3 — 2026-09-07

More room to draw. More ways to make it yours.

• A bigger drawing canvas and a simpler tool layout
• Switch between crayon, marker and smooth strokes
• Exchange 500 XP for a special pen, then find it right in your drawing tools
• Earn XP by saving drawings, sharing posts, commenting and exchanging prompts with friends or groups
• Keep drawing on your own, too—solo drawings earn XP when you’re signed in

We also fixed an issue where pen exchanges could fail to update your XP balance or show your new pen.

A little drawing. A little more you.

### 1.5.2 — 2026-09-05

A new look, drawn from scratch. Icons and characters are pixel art now, and they move with what they do.

• More prompts to draw
• Group activity you can read without opening the group
• Notifications that take you straight to the drawing

You now choose who sees each drawing. New drawings start out visible to friends only.
Show a single one to everyone, or make that your default.
Nothing you drew before changes on its own.
Showing your name and your icon to everyone are separate choices, and both start off.

Inviting a friend is new too. Send a word for tomorrow morning: draw this when you wake up.
Shared images can carry a small QR code, so people can find their way back.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-03

What’s New in Version 1.5.1

• Enjoy a refreshed, more playful look throughout DrawWake.  
• Discover 150 new drawing prompts, including places, foods, and famous people from around the world.  
• Share with more confidence: new drawings are shared with friends by default, and public-sharing preferences are easier to manage.  
• Choose whether your name or icon appears when sharing with everyone.  
• React to group drawings more easily and open the relevant drawing directly from activity notifications.  
• Includes performance improvements and other refinements.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-31

See the morning drawings of people all over the world

The Social tab has a new "Everyone" page. Drawings made this morning, somewhere
in the world, one after another. Leave a heart, a short comment, an emoji - and
if someone seems like your kind of person, ask to be friends.

Your name stays yours

On "Everyone" you appear under a name made up for you - "Full Moon Dolphin",
say. Not your real name, and not the name your friends see. You can pick your
own if you would rather.

You choose who sees a drawing

When you post, choose "everyone", "all friends" or "close friends only" - and
change your mind later, any time.

Drawings you made to one of the app's own prompts have moved to "everyone". The
app tells you once when you open it, and you can move any of them back right
there, or later from Settings > "Drawings shared with everyone".

Kept comfortable

Report a post or a comment you dislike, and block anyone you would rather not
see. Harsh words are stopped before they are sent.

You can sign in with Google too

Sign in with Apple is still there; Google now stands beside it. The two are
separate accounts, so pick the same one each time.

Your drawing, ready to send as a single card

When the morning's drawing is done, it becomes a card: the time you woke, how
long you drew, how many strokes, how many days in a row. Put a day together
three to a row, or pick up to nine favourites.

Your week, as a photo or as a film

A short film in which each print is laid on paper, or a single photo.

Songs from Files can be alarm sounds

A song from your Files app can wake you. We check it really plays when you add
it, so it will not fail you in the morning.

Also

- The timer can pause, from the Lock Screen too
- Alarms sort themselves by time
- Sharing now carries both the app link and your friend invitation

Fixed

- The alarm could be silent on the Lock Screen. Fixed.
- Touching the "this week" card started sending a film. Now only the button does.
- An invitation link showed the drawing inside a doubled frame. Fixed.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-27

Your drawing, ready to send as a single card

When you finish the morning's drawing, it becomes a card. The time you woke up,
how long you drew, how many strokes, how many days in a row - all of it goes
onto the card. Put a day's drawings together three to a row, or pick up to nine
of your favourites. The Alarms tab can send one at any time.

Your week, as a photo or as a film

"This week's drawings" has been rebuilt. A short film in which each print is
laid down on paper, one at a time - or a single photo. Send whichever you like.
Past weeks are there too: tap a drawing to look at it.

Songs from Files can be alarm sounds

A song sitting in your Files app can now wake you up. We check that it can
actually play when you add it, so it will not fail you in the morning.

The timer can pause

Stop it, then carry on from where you were. It works from the Lock Screen too.

Alarms sort themselves by time

A new alarm slides into its place in the order. "Sort by time" puts everything
back in order whenever you want.

Easier to invite a friend

When you share, both the app link and your friend invitation now travel
together - and the link itself is a third of the length it was.

Fixed

- The alarm could be silent on the Lock Screen. Fixed.
- Touching the "this week" card started sending a film. Now only the button does.
- An invitation link showed the drawing inside a doubled frame. Fixed.
- The app name on a shared image was hard to read. Fixed.
