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.
