WAKE UP needs your brain and body online before the sound stops. MADE FOR YOU IF • you stack alarms 5 minutes apart and still oversleep • you snooze on autopilot and don't even remember doing it • you've deleted other alarm apps because they were too easy to beat • you work early shifts, open the gym, or have an 8am class • you want a morning routine that survives past week one HOW IT WORKS 1) set an alarm with one or more challenges 2) alarm goes off 3) complete the challenge to silence it 4) start your day with a win instead of a snooze 15 CHALLENGES BUILT TO ACTUALLY GET YOU UP • flappy pigeon: clear a random number of pipes • bunny dash: hop across roads, rivers and railways • dino run: survive the jungle by dodging obstacles • shadow slayer: defeat kage • fruit shinobi: slice the fruit mid-air, spare the bombs • tennis: win the morning rally against a live rival • math: solve a set of problems • barcode hunt: hunt down and scan a barcode • snap the sky: capture the sky • make bed: tidy up your bed • object hunt: hunt down a random item • photo booth: take 3 pics feeling yourself • push-ups: complete a random set of push-ups • squats: complete a random set of squats • dance: dance until the hidden timer runs out stack more than one on a single alarm for a rough morning, or let random pick for you.
