## What is Stoke Alarm?

You're might hate this alarm. At least until you're standing in the kitchen at 5:03 AM, coffee in hand, realizing you've been awake for 20 minutes and didn't even fight it.

TLDR here's what you're getting:
- A conversation that's different every morning (your brain can't adapt to it)
- Relentless retries until you're actually up
- An AI with zero respect for your "5 more minutes"

Stoke is an alarm you turn off by talking. When it fires, an AI starts a real voice conversation with you: and it won't end until you're actually, fully, irreversibly awake.

It doesn't beep. It doesn't make you do math at 5 AM. It's like someone marching into your room and talking you out of bed — except it's different every single morning.

Here's what every other alarm app gets wrong: they wake you up for 10 seconds. You shake your phone, solve a puzzle, take a photo of your toilet... and then silence. And in that silence, your pillow whispers "just 5 more minutes" and you're gone. Every. Single. Time.

Stoke doesn't give you that silence. Instead of 10 seconds of consciousness, you get 5–15 minutes of someone talking you out of bed. It asks you things. It responds to what you say. It's unpredictable and it's relentless. By the time it's done with you, you're awake.

WHO THIS WAS BUILT FOR

- Neurodivergent brains. The ones that can turn off an alarm without ever waking up. If your mornings are 45 minutes of snooze on autopilot while your brain is still loading, that's not laziness; and a louder beep was never going to fix it. A conversation forces your brain online, because you can't answer a question in your sleep.

- The 5 AM gym crowd. Your days are packed, your evenings are unpredictable, and 5:30 AM is the only slot that's reliably yours, so you set the alarm on six hours of sleep. You don't lack discipline at 10 PM when you set it. You lack backup at 5 AM when the bed argues back. Stoke is the gym bro who's already awake, dragging you out of the bed.

You've probably already:
- Solved the puzzle with your eyes closed and went right back to sleep.
- Put your phone across the room. Walked there and back with zero memory.
- Tried the sunrise clock, the bed shaker, the 130dB speaker. Your brain adapted in days.
- Set 15 alarms 3 minutes apart. Turned off every single one.

If that's you: welcome. You found the alarm you can't outsmart.

No snooze button. Mute it, dismiss it - it comes back. Again and again. Until you're up.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.9.6 — 2026-09-02

~~~Version 1.1.14~~~

• Wake-up messages now grab your attention faster with a louder, more direct opening.
• Alarms and backup rings keep sounding longer, giving you stronger wake-up coverage.
• Lowering the volume during a wake-up now pauses the conversation and resumes it when you turn the volume back up.
• Wake-up replies recover more reliably after locking your phone, reducing false offline messages.

### 1.1.9.5 — 2026-08-24

~~~Version 1.1.13~~~

• Fixed several bugs where the wake-up conversation could get cut off, silently skipped, or replaced with a generic offline message - even on a normal connection.
• The AI no longer repeats the same point or parrots your words back at you so conversations sound more natural now.
• If the AI's reply didn't play right away, you'll now actually hear it once you're back in the app, instead of being asked to repeat yourself.
• Starting a nap now shows a clear "scheduling" status, with a retry option if something goes wrong.
• Pricing is $13 a month.

### 1.1.9.4 — 2026-08-19

~~~Version 1.1.12~~~

After too many late nights and too many coffes I present to you:
• Sleep through your alarm and Stoke now comes back every few minutes instead of leaving a half-hour gap.
• Fixed alarms double-ringing, going off after you'd turned them all off, and adjusted alarms landing on the wrong day.
• The wake-up conversation repeats itself far less, responds to what you actually said, and stops inventing details.
• You can now reasonably get out of a conversation when you're already awake.

### 1.1.9.1 — 2026-08-03

~~~Version 1.1.11~~~

• Stoke will now remind you a couple days before your free trial ends, so you're never charged without a heads-up
• Fixed rare freezes at the start of a wake-up conversation, plus a hiccup where a brand-new subscription wasn't recognized right away
• Fixed background alarm retries sometimes overlapping, so you shouldn't hear two wake-up messages stacked on top of each other
• The alarm holds its ground better now: just saying "go away" won't end it; you'll need a real reason or to actually get up

### 1.1.9 — 2026-07-18

~~~Version 1.1.10~~~

• More reliable alarms - you're less likely to sleep through one
• Fixed an issue where the app could cut you off mid-sentence
• Smoother, more natural conversations overall
• Updated pricing: now $12/month and $5/week
