Wake up together. Wakemates is an alarm app for the mornings you share: pick a wake-up time with your friends and see who is up at a glance. SOLO, DUO, AND TEAM • Solo: Set your own alarms like the Clock app, with optional snooze. • Duo: Propose a time and lock it in when your partner approves. • Team: Vote on a time and see who woke up first on a timeline. NORMAL AND HARDCORE MODES For duos and teams. • Normal: Everyone wakes at their own time. Your alarm stops once you are up. • Hardcore: Everyone wakes at the same agreed time. If a friend is still asleep, your phone rings again too. MORNING MISSIONS Choose math, typing, or shaking. Tap “I’m up!” to silence the alarm, then clear the mission within the time limit. KEEP IT GOING • Streaks and a wake-up calendar • Missed a morning? Watch one ad to keep your streak (no ads with Pro) • Traveling? Alarms ring at the same local time • Weather • Group invitations by link ABOUT ALARMS Wakemates uses AlarmKit on supported iPhones. Alarm behavior depends on iOS, device permissions, and system settings. Allow alarm and notification permissions to use these features. Stopping the sound with the iPhone system control is different from completing your wake-up in the app. WAKEMATES PRO Wakemates Pro is an optional monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. See the in-app purchase screen for included features, pricing, and renewal terms. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account subscription settings. The sound pack is available as a separate in-app purchase. Terms: https://okiyo.app/terms Privacy: https://okiyo.app/privacy
