WakeMe is the companion app for the WakeMe smart alarm clock, a physical system for better sleep habits, calmer mornings and reliable wake-ups. WakeMe supports the whole routine: reducing late-night phone scrolling, understanding bedroom conditions, waking gradually, and getting out of bed when it is time. WakeMe connects to the app via Bluetooth, with no Wi-Fi setup. Pairing is quick, and alarms and routines are easy to customize. FROM BEDTIME TO MORNING ScrollStop™ helps you decide when to put your phone away. If screen use continues, the phone warns you before the physical WakeMe device begins reminding you with sound. Screen-free audio, including audiobooks and podcasts, can continue. GENTLE FIRST, POWERFUL IF NEEDED WakeMe is designed to start every morning gently. Before your set wake-up time, the Wake-up Light gradually brightens, and SoftWake™ can add gentle sounds and vibrations. WakeMe has the most powerful wake-up light on the market. Its hemispherical design spreads light throughout the room instead of concentrating it into a narrow beam. You choose the brightness and sunrise duration. At the set wake-up time, the physical alarm follows. It can be set very quietly, but at maximum WakeMe reaches one of the highest alarm sound levels in the world. You choose the starting volume, later volume levels and whether it should increase over time. The stronger options do not replace the gentle start. They follow it only if needed. MORNING MISSIONS, WHEN YOU WANT THEM Morning Missions are optional and can be enabled if you snooze repeatedly, sleep through ordinary alarms or need extra help leaving bed. Choose one or combine several: • Scan a Sink • Make the Bed • Keep in Motion Scan a Sink and Make the Bed use fast, on-device AI image recognition. No internet connection is needed, and no images leave your phone. You do not need to register your sink or bed beforehand. Simply point the camera at the sink or made bed and the app checks it almost instantly. Depending on your settings, the alarm remains active until the selected mission is completed. For a simpler wake-up, use WakeMe without Morning Missions and enable tap controls for snoozing or stopping the alarm. THE PHYSICAL WAKEME DEVICE The compact, portable and screenless WakeMe was invented in Sweden and includes technology covered by a patent granted in Sweden. It can sit beside the bed or be wall-mounted, and it runs from standard 5 V USB power, including a power bank. Once an alarm is configured, the phone does not need to remain connected for the Wake-up Light and main alarm to work. With tap controls enabled, you can snooze or stop the alarm directly on WakeMe. Morning Missions, SoftWake, ScrollStop and changing settings use the phone and app. On supported WakeMe devices, built-in temperature and ambient-light sensors show current conditions and recent history in the app. KEY FEATURES • One-time and recurring weekly alarms • Powerful, room-filling Wake-up Light with adjustable brightness and sunrise duration • Very high maximum alarm volume, fully adjustable with optional gradual increase • Gentle SoftWake sounds and vibrations • ScrollStop for a more consistent bedtime routine • Optional Morning Missions with on-device AI image recognition • Tap controls for the alarm and lamp • Temperature and ambient-light data on supported devices • Firmware updates directly from the app WakeMe can be kept simple for anyone who wants a gentle sunrise alarm clock, or configured with stronger settings for heavy snoozers and deep sleepers. It is also for people who want to reduce bedtime phone use, build a steadier sleep routine or feel more confident about getting up on time. The app requires no subscription. Please note: This app requires a physical WakeMe alarm clock device. It is not a standalone alarm app. Feature availability may vary between WakeMe models.
