## What is Waker?

Your alarm goes off. You silence it in half a second, half-asleep, same as yesterday, same as tomorrow. After enough mornings, your brain barely wakes up to do it.

Waker is the alarm your brain can't learn: a voice that greets you by name and pulls you into a real conversation that's different every single morning. There's no snooze button to slap. You talk your way awake, and by the end of the chat you're not just up. You're already thinking. No ads. No screaming sirens. No math problems at six in the morning.

■ How the morning goes

Your alarm fires. Waker says good morning to you, by name.
It mentions the rain, asks about your nine o'clock and brings up your goals for the day.
You just answer.
A few exchanges later your eyes are open, your head is running, and going back to sleep feels stranger than getting up.

■ The night before

In the evening, Waker nudges you to shape tomorrow: when to wake, which voice, what matters most in the morning. Thirty seconds before bed, and your first waking minutes already point the right way.

■ Keep the streak alive

Commit to your wake-up days. Finish your morning conversation and your streak grows, with badges along the way and streak freezes for the occasional rough night. Snoozing stops feeling like a relief and starts feeling like losing something.

■ Gentle or firm? Your call

Gentle: Warm and patient. Meets you where you are and brings you forward.
Firm: Caring but direct. Keeps you honest with your own goals.
Neither shouts. Neither guilts. They just make staying in bed harder work than getting up.

■ An alarm you can trust

Built on Apple's alarm system: it rings even on silent, even in Focus. Your voice is transcribed right on your iPhone. The audio never leaves the device, only the words do, to keep the conversation going.

■ Make it yours

• Your name: every greeting is personal
• Your goals: what you want to get done, set the night before
• Your weather and your calendar: woven into the conversation
• Your voice: 32 voices across 5 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian)

■ Recommended for

• People who snooze five times and hate themselves for it
• People who want mornings with direction: today's weather, today's calendar, today's plan
• Early runners and gym-goers who need a push out the door
• Anyone who wants to start the day thinking, not scrolling
• Not for heavy sleepers who need a 100-decibel siren. Waker wakes your mind, not the whole house.

Tonight, set the alarm. Tomorrow, talk your way awake.

### 5/5 — Such a nice way to wake up!

*2026-10-10*

Love having an alarm that reminds me of the goals I have for the day!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Alarm

*2026-09-28*

This is the alarm I have been waiting for my whole life. I finally wake up when I want and get things done in my day. Game changer.

### 1/5 — Beware

*2026-08-15*

I followed all the instructions and enabled all the prescribed features on my iPhone. Tried to get it to work for 5 days and gave up. Waste of $8. Glad I didn’t pay for the entire year up front.

**Developer response:** Sorry the app didn’t work for you, that’s genuinely frustrating after 5 days of trying, and not the experience we want anyone to have. 

If you write us at support@clockclanker.com with your iPhone model and iOS version, we’ll figure out what went wrong and help you get a refund from Apple if we can’t fix it. 

Most ‘nothing happens’ cases come down to an iOS permission or Focus setting we can resolve in one email The app needs an internet connection so If you by any chance use airplane mode or for another reason do not have an active internet connection that would be an issue.

We really (!) want to get the app working for you!

### 1/5 — Unable to test - $8/week

*2026-08-07*

Delightful concept, however I am not going to pay $8/week for an alarm app. 

With no free trial or anything? 
No Thank You.

**Developer response:** Fair feedback. Worth knowing: there's also a $40/year plan (~77¢/week). Every conversation runs on live AI, which costs us real money per morning, that's why there's no free tier; we'd rather be upfront about that than show ads or sell your data. 

That said, we're a brand-new one-person studio and we'd love for you to actually hear it — drop us a line at support@clockclanker.com and we'll sort you out.

### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!

*2026-07-27*

This AI alarm clock is customizable, know you by name and won’t stop until you are fully awake. Very good UI design and simple to use. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Bye to boring alarm

*2026-06-04*

I really liked this app, It has very engaging alarm at least when you wake up early in the morning you will have a smile on your face and you will have this robo figure in mind. Very cute.

### 4.0 — 2026-11-12

Choose how your alarm sounds: a tone, Waker's voice, or both, with four tones to pick from. Getting started is quicker too, with a short walkthrough of your first morning and a fresh, warm look. Plus small improvements for smoother mornings.

### 3.9 — 2026-11-02

Choosing a plan is clearer: when a plan comes with a free trial, its card now shows it at a glance, together with "No payment today". Plus small improvements for smoother mornings.

### 3.8 — 2026-10-25

Help is now one tap away: Settings has Contact Support and Report a Reply. Deleting your account is safer, because you confirm it with your Apple Account. And if your subscription has ended, Waker welcomes you back with a special offer to keep your morning calls.

### 3.7 — 2026-10-16

A more streamlined Waker. We removed routine and focus on goals of the day.

If anyone uses routine and wants it reintroduced, we can do this and we will add it under settings, so it can be activated.

Just write to support.

### 3.6 — 2026-10-04

Set tomorrow tonight, and see a whole morning before you live one.

• Tonight: in the evening, tell Waker what tomorrow holds — out loud, in about
  twenty seconds. The morning call opens with your day, not a generic greeting.
• Setup now walks you through a whole morning: the alarm ringing, Waker's first
  words, how the back-and-forth works, and how the call ends.
• Choose what your alarm says while it rings. Write your own line and hear it in
  Waker's voice.
