FanWake is an alarm clock you can see. Open it when it rings, or leave it on its bedside clock, and your whole screen flashes between two colors you pick, the flashlight can blink with it, and the phone buzzes on every change.
Free: 3 alarms, 5 saved themes, 24 color pairs and 26 ready-made themes, Slow and Medium flash, the Math and Shake challenges, the bedside clock and sleep sounds. No ads, no account.
FanWake Pro (monthly or yearly, 7 days free for new subscribers) adds unlimited alarms and saved themes, Fast and Accelerating flash, the Typing and Memory challenges, and any two colors you like.
HOW IT RINGS
• iOS 26 and later: allow alarms when asked and FanWake rings like the Clock app, on the lock screen, even on silent and in Focus. Open it while it rings and the color flash starts, with your challenge if you set one.
• iOS 17 to 25: a time-sensitive notification that repeats every 30 seconds for about five minutes, even in Focus. On silent, your iPhone only vibrates. Tap it and the flash starts.
• For the full light without touching your phone, leave FanWake open on its bedside clock, on the charger. At alarm time the flash takes the screen, with sound even on silent.
• Snooze rings again even when FanWake is closed. Alarms keep their time when you travel.
WHEN THE FLASH STARTS
• Your two colors fill the screen: Slow, Medium, Fast or Accelerating (the last two with Pro)
• The flashlight blinks with every change (iPhone; on or off for each alarm)
• A buzz on every change
• Sound that builds over 30 seconds: Classic, Digital, Gentle or Random
PROVE YOU'RE AWAKE
• Math: solve a sum
• Shake: shake the phone 15 times
• Typing: type a short phrase (Pro)
• Memory: match 6 pairs of colors (Pro)
• Or no challenge: Stop ends it
On iOS 26 the lock screen always shows Stop. On an alarm with a challenge, Stop brings it back two minutes later, up to 10 times, until you finish the challenge in FanWake.
YOUR COLORS
• 24 color pairs, 26 ready-made themes, or any two colors you like (Pro)
• Make and edit your own themes: 5 saved free, unlimited with Pro
• Your next alarm, in its own colors, is the home screen. Tap Preview to see its flash.
BEDSIDE CLOCK AND SLEEP SOUNDS
• A large, dim clock with your next alarm under it. Open it from Settings, or say "Start bedside in FanWake".
• 5 sleep sounds with a 15 to 90 minute timer; they stop when an alarm rings
• Bedtime timer: choose how long to sleep and FanWake sets the alarm
ALSO
• A wake-up streak, a streak freeze for one missed morning, and goals at 7, 14, 30, 60 and 100 days
• Siri and Shortcuts: set an alarm, ask for the next one, turn one on or off
• 12- or 24-hour clock, as your iPhone is set. iPhone and iPad.
ABOUT FLASHING LIGHT
FanWake changes color at most twice a second and asks about flashing light the first time you open it. With Reduce Flash in Settings, the colors fade once every 3 seconds and the flashlight stays steady.
PRIVATE
