Most alarm clocks offer only a beep or a random melody. Wakefy wakes you up with the music you actually love. PICK ANY SONG Connect your streaming service or Apple Music and choose the track you want to start your day with — a favorite song, a saved track, something from your playlist, or a calm mix for a gentle wake-up. Find the song you want, preview it, and make sure it’s the one you want to hear in the morning. SMART WAKE Tell Wakefy when you need to wake up, and it will help you choose the best moment within your sleep cycles. Wake up between cycles instead of during deep sleep. The volume increases gradually, so your music starts softly and naturally. AN ALARM YOU CAN RELY ON Wakefy uses the system alarm service, so your alarm goes off even when the app is closed, your phone is on silent, or Focus mode is enabled. If streaming music is unavailable at wake-up time, Wakefy automatically plays a saved clip of your chosen track or a backup melody — so you’ll never miss your alarm because of a connection issue. RIGHT ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Live Activity shows the cover art of the upcoming track and counts down to your wake-up time. Stop the alarm or snooze it without opening the app. MORE FEATURES INSIDE • Repeat by weekday, one-time alarms, and custom labels • The option to completely disable snooze • Gentle built-in melodies for those who prefer not to use streaming REQUIREMENTS Playing full tracks requires the Spotify app with a Spotify Premium subscription or an Apple Music subscription. Without either, Wakefy uses a saved clip of your chosen song or a built-in melody.
