Make tomorrow morning harder to negotiate away. Awakey is a proof-based commitment alarm for the mornings that matter: your workout, commute, class, study session, school run, or any early start you planned the night before. Set a recurring alarm. Choose one wake-up mission. Complete it on time to record a kept commitment. An alarm can be stopped. Your plan can still be kept or missed. ONE ALARM. ONE CLEAR ACTION. Choose the wake-up mission that gives your morning a real start: - Scan a preselected QR code or barcode - Solve three math problems - Recall a short number sequence - Complete a push-up target with on-device counting YOUR PLAN, PROTECTED Four hours before an alarm, its time, schedule, and wake-up mission lock in. No moving the goalpost when you are half-awake. BUILD AN AWAKEY STREAK Every scheduled morning has a clear result: commitment kept or commitment missed. Track your current Awakey streak and review your local history to see the mornings you followed through on. BUILT FOR RECURRING MORNINGS Awakey is designed for the commitments you want to protect every week, not one-off reminders.
