Turn off your alarm by actually getting up. WakeProof is an alarm clock for heavy sleepers. When it rings, a tap is not enough: you complete a mission first. Solve a puzzle, do squats, scan a code in the kitchen or brush your teeth. By the time the alarm stops, you are awake. GET OUT OF BED • QR / Barcode: scan a code you registered in another room • Photo Match: find the spot you registered and take a photo of it • Object Hunt: find a real object, recognized by on-device AI • Drink Water: show a glass of water to the camera • Brush Your Teeth and Wash Your Face: your iPhone hears the brushing or the running tap • Open the Curtains: the camera checks for daylight MOVE • Steps: walk until the count is done • Squats, Push-ups and Jumping Jacks: the camera counts every rep, no faking it WAKE YOUR BRAIN • Math, Color Tiles and Sliding Puzzle Most missions let you choose easy, medium or hard. Want just a loud alarm on a weekend? Pick No mission and one tap stops it. TRY IT BEFORE YOU RELY ON IT The Challenges tab shows every mission and how it works, and lets you practice it, so the first time you meet a mission is not at 6 AM. WAKE-UP CHECK Finished the mission and crawled back under the covers? Turn on Wake-up Check and WakeProof rings again 10 minutes later unless you confirm you are up. A REAL ALARM CLOCK One-time or repeating alarms, labels, snooze settings and 8 alarm sounds, from Siren to Birdsong. Alarms ring even in silent mode, and a Home Screen widget shows your next alarm. FAJR ALARM An optional alarm that follows your local Fajr time through the year. Choose your location, calculation method and a time adjustment. It runs separately from your regular alarms. SEE YOUR MORNINGS Current and best streak, success rate, average mission time, snoozes and your recent wake-ups.
