## What is SureWake?

For when the built-in alarm isn't enough.

SureWake is built on iOS 26's AlarmKit — the same system-level alarm engine the Clock app uses. Your alarm is scheduled by iOS itself, so it rings even if SureWake is closed, force-quit, or hasn't been opened in days. No background tricks, no battery drain.

WHY IT RINGS
• Scheduled by the system, not by the app. If the Clock app would ring, SureWake rings.
• Backup rings are booked in advance. When your alarm goes off, up to two backups are already waiting in the system. Dismiss and doze off, and it rings again — with a stronger tone.
• A Reliability page shows you exactly what's scheduled. You don't have to trust us; you can check.

WAKE-UP CHECK
Stopping the alarm isn't the same as being awake. After you stop it, SureWake gives you a few minutes to confirm you're up — or the backup rings. Pick how you confirm:
• Tap — one big button.
• Arithmetic — three quick problems.
• Type — copy a sentence, no paste, no autocorrect.
• Shake — fifteen good shakes and you're done.
A countdown lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island so you always know how long you have. Every method has an honest exit: if you're truly up, say so.

YOUR MORNINGS, KEPT
Every confirmed wake-up is a real system event, not a manual check-in. SureWake keeps a streak, your time-to-rise, and a calendar of your mornings. No badges, no points, no guilt notifications — just your own data, given back to you.

SUNRISE ON YOUR TIMELINE
See where sunrise falls relative to your alarm, computed offline from your time zone — no location permission needed. Allow your location once for a closer estimate.

WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR
Everything is free for 14 days. After that, one purchase unlocks it for good. Mostly, you're paying for things that aren't there.
• No subscription. One purchase, yours forever.
• No account. Nothing to sign up for.
• No network of its own. SureWake itself never goes online; the only network activity is Apple's own purchase flow and rating prompt.
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• No pets, no coins, no leaderboards.

HONEST LIMITS
• The ringing screen is iOS's own. We can't change how it looks, and the volume buttons will stop it — that's exactly why Wake-Up Check exists.
• Alarm tones come from SureWake's built-in set (eight tones, three intensities). iOS doesn't allow importing your own music into system alarms.
• Requires iOS 26.1 or later.

SureWake is made by one person who overslept too many times. If it ever fails to ring, we want to know — support is a real inbox, and it gets read.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-16

• Your week as a picture. The wake record can now export the week as a single image you can share. It is drawn on your device; nothing is uploaded.
• Sunrise on the calendar. Each day in the wake record shows the sunrise time for reference, and with location turned on, the mornings you were up before sunrise stand out.
• Wake-Up Check settings now belong to each alarm. Snooze length, confirmation window and backup rings are set per alarm, so a weekday alarm can be stricter than a weekend one.
• SureWake is now also available in Traditional Chinese, Korean, Italian, Portuguese and Russian.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-15

• SureWake is now available in Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, French and Spanish.
• Reinstalling the app keeps your free trial where it was instead of starting it over.
• If you've already unlocked SureWake, the trial banner no longer flashes on the home screen after a reinstall.
• Changing a setting while an alarm is ringing, snoozed or waiting for your Wake-Up Check no longer interrupts it. The change applies once that wake-up is done.
• Text size now follows your iOS setting.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-11
