## What is Waky?

Waky is the alarm app that actually gets you out of bed.

  No snooze. No dismiss. The only way to stop it is scanning your Waky device. Place it in your bathroom, kitchen, or hallway — and you have no choice but to get up.

  STREAK SYSTEM
  Set a wake-up goal and build your streak. Waky tracks every morning on a visual board. Hit milestones at 7, 14, 30, and 100 days. Miss your scan? Streak resets.

  MORNING FOCUS
  After scanning, keep distracting apps blocked for up to 30 minutes. No social media, no news — just a clean start. Blocks persist even if you close the app.

  FOCUS TIMER
  Set a countdown that blocks distracting apps and can only be stopped by scanning your Waky device. Perfect for study sessions or deep work.

  FEATURES

  • Waky device required to dismiss — no bypass, no workaround
  • Rings until you scan — no way around it
  • Streak tracking with daily consistency board
  • Morning focus blocks distracting apps after wake-up
  • Focus timer with app blocking and Waky device dismissal
  • Custom sounds, labels, and alarm notes
  • Milestone badges at 7, 14, 30, and 100 days

  Waky requires a physical Waky device for alarm dismissal. Place it where you need to go, and let Waky do the rest.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-05-07

What's New                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                 
  • Set your own personal alarms alongside your wake-up alarm. Each one has its own title, sound, and repeat     
  days, and still needs a Waky device scan to dismiss.                                                           
                                                                                                                 
  • Emergency Stop — a strict 2-per-week safety net for when your alarm rings and you forgot your Waky device.   
  Refills every Monday.                                           
                                                                                                                 
  • Your morning to-do list now appears after every alarm you dismiss for the next 24 hours, not just your       
  wake-up.
                                                                                                                 
  • Cleaner running-timer screen — the bottom menu auto-hides while the timer counts down and reappears with a
  tap.

  • Refreshed welcome screen when you first set up the app.                                                      
   
  • Various bug fixes and system improvements.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-03-25

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  - Fixed an issue where previously set alarms would not recognize a newly registered Waky device. All alarms now work with your current device after re-registering.
  - Fixed an issue where the commit board would incorrectly show a missed day (red) after resuming from a break. Break days now correctly stay blue.
