About

Wake with Bible

Features
Read full description

WAKE with the Bible is the Christian alarm clock. Instead of a buzzer, your alarm opens with Scripture, devotional teaching and worship music, so the first voice of your day is God's Word. HOW YOUR MORNING SOUNDS Music rises gently, then a devotional or a Bible chapter is read over a quiet musical bed. No jolt, no buzzer. A morning that starts your mind before your feet touch the floor. THE BIBLE, READ TO YOU • Every chapter of all 66 books, narrated in your choice of voice • Pick up where you left off, and let one chapter roll into the next • Your Bible Journey shows the chapters you have finished DEVOTIONALS WORTH WAKING FOR • Short devotionals pairing a passage with a word to carry into the day • Browse by theme: trust, hope, peace, grace and more • Carry This Today, one line each morning to hold onto WORSHIP AND MUSIC • Original worship songs and instrumentals, with lyrics on screen • Moods for how you want to wake: Praise, Peace, Hope, Trust, Grace • A fresh Today's Playlist every morning BUILT AS A REAL ALARM • Real system alarms on supported iOS versions • Works offline once content is downloaded • Sleep timer with a gentle fade for drifting off at night NOT ONLY FOR MORNINGS Set WAKE for any moment: first light, a lunch break, the drive home, or the quiet before sleep. The Word finds you right on time. GIFT WAKE+ Send WAKE+ as an e-gift card, three months or one year, with a personal note. Gifts never renew. FREE AND WAKE+ WAKE is free to use every day: one alarm, a daily selection, the Gospel of John and the Psalms in full with their devotionals, and five worship songs. WAKE+ unlocks the full library: every book, every devotional, every song and unlimited alarms. Monthly or annual. Prices are shown in the app; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and are managed through your App Store account.
