## What is Shake to Wake?

Struggling to wake up? Shake to Wake makes sure you actually get out of bed.

No more silencing your alarm in your sleep and dozing back off. To turn it 
off, you have to physically shake your phone — hard enough, and long enough 
— until the screen fills up. By the time you're done, you're awake.

HOW IT WORKS
When your alarm rings, shake your phone. Watch the screen fill with color as 
you go. Once it's full, the alarm stops — no snooze button to cheat with.

BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY SLEEP
- 5 shake intensity levels, from gentle to extreme — tune it to how deep a 
  sleeper you really are
- Set as many alarms as you like, one-time or repeating on any combination 
  of days
- Adjustable alarm volume
- Today's weather right on the home screen, so you know what you're 
  waking up to

GO PRO
Unlock the two most intense shake levels and a full library of ringtones 
with a one-time purchase.

Simple, reliable, and built to work even if your phone is locked or your 
notifications are usually silent. If a normal alarm hasn't worked for you, 
this one will.

## Key features

- Shake to dismiss alarm
- Shake to turn on flashlight
- Table clock functionality
- Background alarm support
- No snooze option
