About

Steh

Features
Read full description

Steh isn't a snooze button. It's an alarm that makes you prove you're actually awake before it goes silent. Most alarm apps let you silence a blaring phone with a half-asleep tap, then fall right back asleep. Steh is built to break that cycle: your alarm keeps ringing — reliably, even if the app is closed or your phone is locked — until you complete a real wake-up task. CHOOSE YOUR WAKE-UP TASK • Math — solve problems at your own difficulty level • Color Hunt — photograph an object in a specific color • Memory — repeat a pattern before it disappears • Typing — type out a phrase, typos and all • Shake — shake your phone a set number of times • Steps — walk a few steps to prove you're up BUILT ON A REAL ALARM ENGINE Steh uses Apple's native alarm framework, so it rings the way your Clock app does — even in Low Power Mode, even with notifications muted, even if you swipe the app away. No more alarms that silently fail. WAKE UP TOGETHER Add friends and race each other to see who wakes up first. Send a friendly poke to a friend who's still asleep. Build a daily streak, earn achievements, and get simple insights into your own wake-up patterns over time. DREAM JOURNAL Jot down what you dreamed the moment you wake up, while it's still fresh — before your brain lets it fade. MAKE IT YOURS Pick your own alarm sound, or record a custom vibration rhythm that's uniquely yours. Choose a character to keep you company every morning. A free tier gets you started right away. Steh Premium unlocks extra personalization for people who want more. Your alarms, streaks, and dream journal stay on your device. Optional friend features use an anonymous account — no email required. No ads, no tracking, no data sold. Ever. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
