Working the night shift? Pulling an all-nighter? Waiting up for something that matters? StayUp & Play keeps you honestly awake — not with a blaring alarm you can silence in your sleep, but with quick mini-game check-ins that actually require your attention. HOW IT WORKS Start a session and set how long you want to stay alert — 30 minutes, a few hours, or until you stop. Choose how often check-ins appear: on a fixed schedule, or randomly so you can never predict — or sleep through — the next one. When a check-in fires, you get a short window to respond with a quick mini-game: tap fast, solve a puzzle, react to a color, remember a sequence. Pass it, and your session continues. Miss it, and an escalating alarm kicks in — sound, vibration, and an optional full-screen strobe — until you tap the screen and prove you're back. 13 MINI-GAMES Tap Challenge · Reaction Tap · Tic-Tac-Toe · Connect Four · Hangman · Word Unscramble · Simon Says · Odd One Out · Quick Math · Swipe the Arrows · Number Order · Trace Challenge · Rock Paper Scissors Every game is instant, offline, and skill-based — no downloads, no waiting, no ads mid-session. FREE-PLAY ARCADE Not in a session? Open any of the 13 games any time from the Arcade, with local best scores and times tracked right on your device — no countdowns, no alarms, just a quick game. ALERTS, YOUR WAY Pick your alarm tone and volume, or turn sound off entirely for a silent alarm — vibration and screen strobe still work, ideal if there's a sleeping baby or roommate nearby. Full control over vibration and flashing-light intensity, with a photosensitivity warning before flashing is ever enabled. BUILT FOR PRIVACY StayUp & Play works entirely on your device. No accounts, no sign-in, no backend, no analytics. Your settings, scores, and session history never leave your phone. Free with optional ads (never during a session or a game — only on the home screen and after a session ends), or remove ads permanently for a one-time $0.99. A NOTE ON SAFE USE StayUp & Play supports alertness — it is not a substitute for proper sleep and should never be used while driving or operating machinery. If you're dangerously tired, please rest. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Remove Ads | $0.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 2 releases) ### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-08 Accessibility and safety improvements: gentler alarm flash rates, clearer countdowns, improved contrast, and better screen-reader support. ### 1.0 — 2026-08-12 No release notes. ## More apps by Puador LLC - [Puador](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/puador/id1388262606) - [Peeping-Tom](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/peeping-tom/id6760555144) All apps by Puador LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1388262605 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
