## What is UpWake?

UpWake is for people who've already tried five alarms and a phone across the room, and still slept through every one of them.

RINGS EVEN WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS
UpWake is built on Apple's own AlarmKit, so it rings at full volume in Silent Mode, through a Focus, and even if you force quit the app the night before. A lot of "smart" alarm apps quietly can't promise that.

MISSIONS YOU CAN'T SLEEP THROUGH
Attach a mission and the alarm stays on until it's actually done. Twelve kinds, as gentle or as brutal as you need. Scan a QR code hidden somewhere you have to get up for, the bathroom mirror, the kitchen counter. Hold a pose for the camera and let a quick AI check confirm you're really awake. Solve timed math, all the way up to a Hell mode you will not beat half asleep. Type out a phrase, find the odd emoji in a grid, or walk a set number of steps. Or get the body moving: squats, push-ups, boxing punches, knee raises, a dance, or reaching for a target on screen, each one counted live by the camera before the alarm lets go.

BUILT FOR HEAVY SLEEPERS
One sound never works twice for some people. If you always find a way back into bed before you're even conscious of doing it, a mission closes that loop. The alarm ends when the mission is done, not when you feel like it's done.

A SOUND FOR EVERY MORNING
41 sounds are already loaded in, from a soft chime to an air-raid siren. Pick something calm on an easy day and something rough on the days you know you'll need it.

PRO
UpWake Pro is required to use the app. Start with a free trial on the yearly plan, or choose a monthly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. No account, no login, no ads.

RECOMMENDED FOR
* Anyone who sleeps through five alarms set minutes apart
* Heavy sleepers who've turned an alarm off in their sleep and don't remember doing it
* People who beat the puzzles in other alarm apps on autopilot, without ever really waking up
* Anyone who wants a real reason to get out of bed instead of a snooze button

TWO WAYS TO USE A MISSION

Morning routine: put the QR code on the coffee machine. By the time you've scanned it, you're already standing in the kitchen, so you might as well start the coffee.

Actually getting up: keep the code somewhere you can't reach from bed, a shelf across the room, the bathroom sink, the front door. If you can dismiss the alarm without standing up, it's in the wrong spot.

UpWake doesn't track your sleep or coach your evenings. It does one thing. It makes sure you're actually up before it lets you go back to whatever you were doing.

No account, no login, no ads.
