Z21 vs SureWake

Use this app to connect to a Z21 Digital Center. A demo mode is available. With this app you can manage locomotive libraries, locomotives and locomotive functions, program digital components – and of course control all locomotives with DCC- or Motorola-decoder, as easy and convenient as is only possible with touch-technology. The digital switchboard Z21 connects your model train unit and your digital locomotives with your iOS device via WLAN. This way you can control the operation on your train layout easily and conveniently from your mobile device. Model train control was never this easy and convenient: With one swipe of your hand you can scroll to your model of choice in the locomotive library. A slight touch on the headlight symbol and the front and backlights go on. A second touch, this time on the speaker symbol, and the locomotive makes a sound. Drag your finger over the speed indicator and the train accelerates. The further highlights of the Z21-App • Control your entire layout with an intuitive, graphic interface and have easy access to the entire scope of functions of your digital locomotives. • Manage your entire locomotive-library in just one application, including individual locomotive images for an ideal overview. • Control the digital functions of your locomotives with intuitive function symbols instead of complicated key combinations. • Create a blueprint of your railway system and control your switches, signals and modules with a single click. • Download driver cabs and control your locomotives from a real train driver’s point of view.

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.
