About

Fajrunaa

Read full description

Fajrunaa is an alarm built for one mission: getting you out of bed for the Fajr prayer. No more alarms that fail to ring one time in ten, or that you snooze away too easily. WHY FAJRUNAA • The alarm won't turn off with a swipe. You complete a challenge that gets you on your feet and wakes your brain up. • Choose your ringtone — and the sound stays audible even if your phone was on silent. • Prayer times calculated precisely for your city, using the calculation method you choose. ANTI-SNOOZE CHALLENGES Film an object in your home (sink, rug…), scan a code, recite a du'a. Until the challenge is done, the alarm keeps going. REGULAR ALARMS TOO Beyond Fajr, create your own alarms (work, other prayers) with the same challenges and more. YOUR PRIVACY Camera and microphone analysis runs entirely on your device. Nothing is recorded or sent. No account: your alarms stay on your phone. SUBSCRIPTIONS Fajrunaa offers auto-renewable subscriptions (monthly, yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

About

WakeKey

Read full description

Your alarm can wake you. WakeKey gets you out of bed by turning an everyday barcode into your morning key. Choose a toothpaste tube, coffee bag, shampoo bottle, vitamins, or another item outside your bedroom. When the alarm rings, walk to it and scan. No QR code to print. No puzzle you can finish under the covers. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WAKE PLAN • Get Up — one scan away from bed. Included free. • Stay Up — scan once, then complete a second check after a delay you choose. • Wake Route — move through two or three places in your morning routine. READY BEFORE BED WakeKey prepares backup protection before you go to sleep. Reliability Center shows what is ready: alarm permission, scheduled protection, your WakeKeys, camera access, time settings, and battery guidance. If an item is unavailable or will not scan, Recovery gives you a safe way forward. Emergency Cancel is always available. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking. No sleep tracking or microphone recording. Camera frames and raw barcode values are never stored. Matching happens locally on your iPhone using a protected fingerprint. BUILT FOR REAL MORNINGS • Repeating and one-time alarms. • Temporary travel WakeKeys. • Local or fixed time zones. • Private morning history without streaks or shame. Get Up, one active alarm, one active WakeKey with unlimited replacement, backup protection, Reliability Center, Recovery, Emergency Cancel, and recent history are free. WakeKey Pro adds Stay Up, Wake Route, multiple alarms and WakeKeys, Quiet Start, and full history. Choose monthly, annual, or Lifetime access. Eligible users can start with a seven-day trial. IMPORTANT WakeKey cannot ring if your iPhone is powered off or fully discharged. For safety-critical events, use an independent backup.
