Features
Read full description

BeWake is an alarm app that gives you a simple mission when it is time to get up: scan a real item to stop the in-app ringing. Choose a wake item, set your alarm, and BeWake will ask you to verify that item with the camera when the alarm is due. The goal is to help you physically get moving instead of dismissing an alarm from bed. BeWake also includes optional Feed sharing for completed wake sessions. Sharing is private by default and fully optional, with report, block, delete, and account deletion controls available in the app. Camera access is used only when you open the scanner for wake-item verification. Notifications are used for alarms and optional social activity.
