Wakebound

Wakebound is for people who sleep through ordinary alarms or turn them off without getting out of bed. Put a barcode somewhere you have to walk to. When the alarm rings, scan that exact barcode to stop the alarm. You can add a second barcode, a short focus check, or a later wake check if you want more structure. Set up tomorrow's alarm, protect a nap, or preview a mission before you go to sleep. If you miss a wake-up, recovery alarms can help you get back on track. If the barcode is unavailable, there is an emergency option. Pick the look you prefer in Settings. Daybreak Glass is light and calm. Night Signal is darker and more focused. Classic Wakebound styles are still available too. Wakebound does not need an account and does not show ads. There is no tracking or analytics. Your barcode data, alarms, and wake history stay on your iPhone. Camera frames are processed on the device and are not saved or uploaded. Wakebound is a productivity and wellness utility, not a medical device. Alarm behavior can still depend on your device, permissions, system settings, and iOS. For anything important, keep a second trusted alarm.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wakebound at none against Awake's 6. Wakebound also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
