What's New in Keep Me Awake
1.0.9
November 1, 2026
New with Pro: When you slow down. Your nights now show the hours your check-ins start to slip, so you know when to get up, stretch or make the coffee, and check-ins can come closer in those hours. • Your nights › When you slow down (Pro) reads the last 30 Check-In nights and names the hours the alarm had to ring most, with a bar for every hour. It waits for 3 nights and 30 check-ins before it says anything. • Closer check-ins in slow hours (Pro): turn it on under When you slow down or in Settings › Check in every, and in those hours check-ins come about twice as often (every 2 min instead of 5). The Check-In screen says when it's on. • After a check-in alarm has to ring, the Check-In screen now suggests one quick thing that helps you wake up, like standing up for a minute or cold water on your face. Another idea shows a different one; turn them off in Settings › Wake-up check. • On smaller iPhones with the largest text, the screen after a free 15-minute Dead Button session now shows its whole explanation above Keep going.

FAQ
How does Keep Me Awake help me stay awake?
Keep Me Awake offers two primary methods: 'Check-In,' where you tap 'I'm awake' at set intervals (5, 10, or 15 minutes), and 'Dead Button,' where you hold a finger on the screen. Missing a check-in or releasing the button triggers an alarm.
What happens if I miss a check-in on Keep Me Awake?
If you miss a check-in, the alarm will ring. On iOS 26 and later, this alarm rings through Silent and Focus modes, even if the phone is locked or the app is closed. Before iOS 26, it uses Time Sensitive notifications which can be muted by Sleep Focus.
Can I use Keep Me Awake without unlocking my phone?
Yes, Keep Me Awake provides a countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, featuring an 'I'm awake' button. You can also use Siri commands like 'Hey Siri, I'm awake in Keep Me Awake' to reset the check-in while the phone is locked.
Does Keep Me Awake have ads?
No, Keep Me Awake does not contain advertisements. The app is free to use and does not display any ads to users.
What are the 'wake-up check' options in Keep Me Awake?
Keep Me Awake offers an optional wake-up check for both 'Check-In' and 'Dead Button' modes. This feature requires you to solve a quick math sum before the alarm stops, ensuring you are fully alert.
How does Keep Me Awake handle low battery or phone death?
The app warns you when the battery is low and may not last until your set end time. If your phone dies, it cannot ring. However, with Alarms on, a Check-In can allow the screen to sleep and still ring.
Can I see my history of staying awake with Keep Me Awake?
Yes, Keep Me Awake allows you to see your hours awake for the week, with a bar for each day and nights in a row. You can tap on a specific night to view details like each check-in, when the alarm rang, and how quickly you responded.
