MathWake is the alarm clock that will not let you sleep in. The alarm keeps ringing until you solve a mission — a math problem, a typing task, a barcode scan — so you are actually awake when it stops. Built for heavy sleepers, chronic snoozers and anyone who has ever slept through a normal alarm. WHY IT WORKS A normal alarm asks you to tap a button. MathWake asks you to think. You cannot silence a mission alarm from the lock screen: if you stop it without solving the mission, it rings again a few minutes later and keeps going until you finish. Snoozing in your sleep is no longer an option. 8 WAKE-UP MISSIONS • Math — solve equations at the difficulty you choose, from easy addition to hard multiplication • Missing Symbol — pick the operator that makes the equation true • Typing — type the phrase on screen, letter for letter • Color Tiles — a memory game that forces your eyes open • Shake — shake your phone a set number of times • Object Hunt — find a real object (your toothbrush, the kettle) with the camera • Barcode — scan a barcode in another room to stop the alarm • Classic — a simple stop button for the mornings that don't need a fight Set how many problems you want and how hard they should be. LOUD. IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. • Rings even when your phone is on silent • Volume rises gradually, so it starts gentle and ends unmissable • Strong vibration for deep sleepers • 78 alarm sounds in 7 categories: calm, energetic, funny, emergency-loud, techno and classic • Shake to snooze, and a wake-up check that asks if you are really up SLEEP TRACKER Put your phone on the bed and MathWake tracks movement and sound through the night. Wake up to a report with your sleep score out of 100, time to fall asleep, time awake, deep sleep, bedtime consistency and noisy (snore-likely) minutes. See how your sleep changes from night to night. HABIT ALARMS AND MORE • Habit alarms — repeating reminders to drink water, take medication, stretch or study, with their own sounds • Quick alarm — a nap or a short break in two taps • Timer and stopwatch • Streaks and wake-up statistics: alarms set, snoozes, on-time wake-ups and average wake time • Repeat by weekday, custom labels, per-alarm missions and sounds WHO IT IS FOR • Heavy sleepers who sleep through regular alarms • Students with early classes and exams • Shift workers and early commuters • Anyone building a consistent morning routine MATHWAKE PREMIUM MathWake is a subscription app. Premium unlocks every mission, every sound, the sleep tracker and habit alarms.

AlphaScout: Plan light, weather, and locations for every shoot AlphaScout is a photographer’s companion for scouting places and reading conditions at a glance. Whether you’re on location or planning ahead, the app combines sun and moon intelligence, weather forecasts, and a personal catalog of saved spots, so you can spend less time guessing and more time composing. YOUR DASHBOARD AT A GLANCE The Dashboard shows where you’re scouting (from GPS or a saved spot), coordinates, and a Shoot Score, a quick read on how favourable conditions look for photography right now, based on the weather and sun data for that place. A summary card includes rating, sky condition, golden hour timing, sunrise and sunset, cloud cover, rain, wind and temperature (metric and imperial together), and moon phase with illumination. Pull down to refresh. Short tips help you decide what to shoot next. SUN & MOON See sunrise, sunset, golden and blue hour windows, plus moon phase, illumination, moonrise, and moonset for the selected location. Footers include light reference facts about Earth to the Moon and Earth to the Sun distances. WEATHER A full-screen weather experience with animations that reflect the current condition (clear, cloudy, or rainy). View current values, today’s summary, and a six day outlook. Temperature and wind show dual units. Pull down to refresh. Pollen appears when the weather source provides it. PLACES THAT MATTER Use the location menu to pick Current Location or any saved spot, Dashboard, Sun & Moon, and Weather all stay in sync. Save new spots from the map: search by address or place name, tap the map to refine the pin, add a name, visit date, optional photo from the library or camera, and notes (up to 256 characters). Open your saved list from the toolbar, tap a row to jump there, swipe to delete, or long press for a full screen preview with photo, dates, coordinates, and full notes.
