HOW IT RINGS • iOS 26 and later: allow alarms when asked and FanWake rings like the Clock app, on the lock screen, even on silent and in Focus. Open it while it rings and the color flash starts, with your challenge if you set one. • iOS 17 to 25: a time-sensitive notification that repeats every 30 seconds for about five minutes, even in Focus. On silent, your iPhone only vibrates. Tap it and the flash starts. • For the full light without touching your phone, leave FanWake open on its bedside clock, on the charger. At alarm time the flash takes the screen, with sound even on silent. • Snooze rings again even when FanWake is closed. Alarms keep their time when you travel. WHEN THE FLASH STARTS • Your two colors fill the screen: Slow, Medium, Fast or Accelerating (the last two with Pro) • The flashlight blinks with every change (iPhone; on or off for each alarm) • A buzz on every change • Sound that builds over 30 seconds: Classic, Digital, Gentle or Random PROVE YOU'RE AWAKE • Math: solve a sum • Shake: shake the phone 15 times • Typing: type a short phrase (Pro) • Memory: match 6 pairs of colors (Pro) • Or no challenge: Stop ends it On iOS 26 the lock screen always shows Stop. On an alarm with a challenge, Stop brings it back two minutes later, up to 10 times, until you finish the challenge in FanWake. YOUR COLORS • 24 color pairs, 26 ready-made themes, or any two colors you like (Pro) • Make and edit your own themes: 5 saved free, unlimited with Pro • Your next alarm, in its own colors, is the home screen.

Let light start your morning. If a sudden alarm feels like a rough way to start the day, try a little light. FlashWake gradually brightens your iPhone or iPad screen at the time you choose. Add sound when you want it. Set your time. Leave the app open. Save an alarm and the app switches to a dark waiting screen. At your alarm time, the screen starts dim and reaches your chosen brightness over 10 seconds. It does not begin brightening before the scheduled time. Find your light Choose warm sunlight or white, adjust the brightness, and preview it before you settle in. On devices with a camera flashlight, you can use that too. Make room for your routine Set a one-time alarm or repeat it on selected weekdays. Include or skip individual dates, or skip public holidays in South Korea and the United States. Need a few more minutes? Snooze for 5 or 10 minutes. No account needed No sign-up, ads, or subscription. Your alarms and settings stay on your device and are not sent to a developer-operated server. Before you use FlashWake • Screen light and the camera flashlight work while the app remains open in the foreground. Locking your device or switching apps interrupts them. • FlashWake cannot unlock your device or automatically light up the locked screen. For a sound alarm while locked, turn on sound and allow system alarm access. • Sound is off by default. New alarms are set to reach full brightness, with the flashlight enabled on supported devices. Preview the light and adjust these settings to suit you. • Responses to light vary by person and surroundings. FlashWake is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat sleep conditions. • Requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later. Holiday skipping uses the 2026–2027 calendars included in the app. Tomorrow morning, start with your kind of light.
