About

WakeWake

Read full description

Most alarms ask you to make a decision the moment you're least able to make it. WakeWake doesn't. It keeps ringing until you've done something that proves you're actually awake. HOW IT WORKS Pick a Wake Task when you set your alarm. In the morning, the alarm won't stop until you finish it. No snooze button, no swipe to dismiss, no bargaining with yourself at 6am. SIX WAYS TO PROVE YOU'RE UP • Squats — get moving before your brain talks you out of it • Push-ups — same idea, more commitment • Find the Sky — get to a window and show WakeWake real daylight • Make the Bed — the one task that's still done an hour later • Math — solve problems that need genuine attention • Number Lock — spin a combination you can't fumble half-asleep Squats, push-ups, sky and bed are checked visually. Math and Number Lock need no camera at all, so there's always a task that works in the dark or in a shared room. BUILT ON APPLE'S ALARM SYSTEM WakeWake uses AlarmKit, so your alarm behaves like the real thing: it sounds through Silent mode and Focus, appears full-screen on the Lock Screen, and shows up in the Dynamic Island. This isn't a notification pretending to be an alarm. YOUR WAKE PROFILE A short set of questions at the start works out how you actually sleep — and which task is likely to work for you rather than which one sounds impressive. You can change it whenever you like. MORNINGS THAT ADD UP Track your streak, see how your wake-ups genuinely trend over time, and keep a history of the mornings you finished. Numbers are only ever shown once there's real data behind them. SET AS MANY ALARMS AS YOU NEED Different mornings need different things. Every alarm gets its own time, days, sound, task and difficulty — Light, Standard or Strong. SUBSCRIPTION WakeWake Premium unlocks alarm creation and every Wake Task. • Yearly — $24.99 per year, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers • Monthly — $7.99 per month Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends. Your subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Terms of Use: https://wakewake.randomhit.site/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://wakewake.randomhit.site/privacy/ A NOTE ON THE CAMERA Camera-based tasks send a few frames to our server for one-time verification and are processed in memory — never stored, by us or anyone else. You can skip the camera entirely by choosing Math or Number Lock. WakeWake is an alarm and habit app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
