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.

About

Wakebound

Features
Read full description

Wakebound is for people who sleep through ordinary alarms or turn them off without getting out of bed. Put a barcode somewhere you have to walk to. When the alarm rings, scan that exact barcode to stop the alarm. You can add a second barcode, a short focus check, or a later wake check if you want more structure. Set up tomorrow's alarm, protect a nap, or preview a mission before you go to sleep. If you miss a wake-up, recovery alarms can help you get back on track. If the barcode is unavailable, there is an emergency option. Pick the look you prefer in Settings. Daybreak Glass is light and calm. Night Signal is darker and more focused. Classic Wakebound styles are still available too. Wakebound does not need an account and does not show ads. There is no tracking or analytics. Your barcode data, alarms, and wake history stay on your iPhone. Camera frames are processed on the device and are not saved or uploaded. Wakebound is a productivity and wellness utility, not a medical device. Alarm behavior can still depend on your device, permissions, system settings, and iOS. For anything important, keep a second trusted alarm.
