Flight Wake

Features
Read full description

Sleep through your flight. Wake the moment the plane begins its descent. Flight Wake watches your iPhone's on-device sensors for the unmistakable pattern of descent, then fires a system alarm that breaks through Silent and Focus — even with your phone locked. No internet. No GPS. No data leaves your device. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Start any time before, during, or after takeoff. • Lock your phone and rest. Flight Wake monitors quietly in the background. • When descent is detected, the alarm fires — reliably, even on Silent, in airplane mode, with the screen off. WORKS OFFLINE, EVERY TIME Detection runs entirely on your iPhone. No Wi-Fi, no cellular, no GPS required. The same wake-up works on a red-eye over the Atlantic, a long-haul to Asia, or a quick hop between cities. TUNE IT TO YOUR FLIGHT • Three sensitivity profiles — Standard, Sensitive, or Relaxed — for early, balanced, or late wake-ups. • Wake delay: fire the moment descent is detected, or add a few extra minutes to sleep in. • Snooze: 1 to 15 minutes if you want a little more time before stepping off. PRE-FLIGHT CHECK A built-in checklist confirms everything is ready before takeoff: sensors active, permissions granted, alarm armed, battery healthy. Catch problems on the ground, not at 35,000 feet. MADE FOR REAL TRAVEL • Long-haul flights: sleep without missing the announcement. • Red-eye returns: land refreshed instead of groggy. • Business trips: turn the cruise into actual rest, not a series of catnaps. • Frequent flyers: arm it and forget it — Flight Wake handles the rest. FREE TO USE The core descent-triggered alarm is free, forever. No ads. No trials. No accounts. Start sleeping through flights today. FLIGHT WAKE PRO — ONE-TIME UNLOCK Unlock everything for a single $4.99 purchase. No subscription, no recurring charges. Pro adds: • Sensitive and Relaxed sensitivity profiles for earlier or later wake-ups. • Vibration-only alarm — a quieter, haptic wake-up for sleeping next to others. • Custom wake delays: +5, +10, +15, or +20 minutes after descent is detected. • Custom snooze durations: 1, 3, 10, or 15 minutes. Restore your purchase any time on any device signed in with the same Apple ID. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No tracking of your location or flights. • No accounts. • Everything — settings, sensor readings, alarm history — stays on your phone. BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED FOR iPHONE Built for iOS 26 with smooth animations, refined haptics, and an interface designed to feel calm in dim cabin lights. No clutter, no distractions. Land rested. Flight Wake gets you there. Terms of use: https://gelatka.dev/apps/flight-wake/terms/
