Read full description

Wakebound turns your alarm into a morning challenge. Set an alarm, choose a wake-up challenge, and build your streak with a cast of beasts. Solve a problem, tap targets, remember a sequence, type a phrase, trace a rune, or take on another challenge before you move on with your day. Make your own morning run: • Set one-time or recurring alarms with your chosen challenge and sound. • Choose challenges including math, memory, typing, trivia, mazes, rhythm, and more. • Follow your wake-up in a visual notification inbox, with your selected character, confirmed snooze times, and a history of alarm events. • Customize optional reminders, notification previews, character animation, and opt-in rival alerts. • Earn progress after a completed wake-up and grow your collection of beasts. • Take on boss battles as you progress. Premium boss gates still require you to earn each battle through play. An unfinished wake-up challenge stays available when you return to Wakebound. On iPhone, alarms and alerts use the system features available on your version of iOS. Allow the relevant permissions and review your device settings. Alert delivery and sound behavior depend on iOS and your settings; Wakebound does not prevent you from leaving the app or using your phone. PREMIUM Premium is optional. Waking up reliably stays free. Free keeps 3 alarms on at once and a set of wake-up challenges. Premium unlocks every wake-up challenge, Brutal difficulty, Premium sounds, Premium boss gates and as many alarms as you like.
