Wake up at the perfect time - every time. Easy Wake uses your Apple Watch to gently wake you during your lightest sleep phase, so you feel refreshed and ready to start your day. Easy Wake analyses your sleep patterns and wakes you up to 30 minutes before your set alarm time - when your body is naturally ready. Do you always hit stop on your alarm and go back to sleep? Use Challenge Wake - turning off your alarm will require a challenge that gets the blood pumping, or the cogs turning! No more half asleep stop button taps! Use Pulse Wake to gently nudge you into a lighter sleep stage just before your alarm to feel even more refreshed! Just ask Siri. Easy Wake handles the same phrases as any clock app - "set an alarm for 7 AM", "snooze my gym alarm", "start a 10 minute timer". Your alarms are searchable too, so Siri knows which one you mean. Quickly change your weekly routine with 1 tap. Create Sleep Schedule Groups for a working week and holidays! View in depth insights on your sleep phases and consistency. Use Intelligent Insights to receive recommendation on how to improve your sleep quality. Customise every alarm for every occasion, there’s a setting for everyone whether you’re looking to wake up at sunrise, wake up refreshed, or fancy a lie in. Trigger a Scene in the Apple Home app. Create Location Based Alarms to wake up on the move. Sleeping on the train, no problem. Set an alarm for your station and be alerted when you arrive. No jarring sounds. No groggy mornings. Just better sleep, and smarter mornings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

SleepTap

# SleepTap SleepTap helps you manage sleep, wake timing, and daytime energy so you can stay sharp throughout the day. A key feature is its support for Rooster Time, which lets SleepTap preview your wake time, use that wake target in smart alarm planning, and keep iPhone and Apple Watch wake context better aligned. SleepTap also brings together Apple Watch smart alarms, Smart Stack widgets, workout tracking, sunlight reminders, nap reminders, late-night logging and alerts, wake-up reminders, and a sleep score in one app. SleepTap is available on both iPhone and Apple Watch. The iPhone app includes all core features, while the Watch app gives you a faster way to check sleep progress, smart alarm sessions, wake context, and Smart Stack widgets when you're on the move. The first time you open SleepTap, a setup wizard guides you through the essential data sources and permissions. You can run it again later whenever you need to update your setup. SleepTap is currently free while I gather feedback and continue improving the app. In the future, it may become a paid product, mainly because the weather API has free-usage limits and higher usage incurs costs. I also plan to add in-app purchases in a future release. http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
