【Your AI quota, ready before you wake】 Today's AI services run on a 5-hour usage window, counted from your first message of the day. Speak up only at 8:00 and your whole golden morning is locked into one cycle — your quota won't reset until the afternoon. AI Wake does it differently: before you get up (3 hours early by default, adjustable), it automatically says good morning to your AI so the 5-hour cycle starts sooner. Wake at 8:00 and your quota resets at 10:00 — your prime hours, handed back to you. Set your wake time. It handles the rest. ■ Two ways to wake ・Shortcut mode: no server, works for everyone, triggered on-device by iOS Shortcuts — completely free. ・Cloud mode: sent by an always-on server, unaffected by a locked or powered-off phone — the most reliable. ■ All-Day Relay (Cloud only) The morning wake isn't the only one. Within the hours you choose, the server fires a fresh wake every 5 hours so your quota cycle never stalls — there's always headroom when you need it. Set fixed hours, or run around the clock. ■ Wake Log Every successful wake is recorded. A GitHub-style heatmap shows your streak at a glance — the payoff of opening your quota early, day after day. ■ We take your trust seriously Cloud mode needs your AI access token, and we treat it as a password-grade asset: ・Encrypted in transit, end to end (HTTPS) ・Stored on the server with AES-256-GCM — only ciphertext hits the disk, plaintext never lands there and never enters any log ・Decrypted in memory only for the few seconds the wake runs, then discarded ・The backend source is public — audit it yourself, or even run it on your own host, so your token never touches ours The app includes a full "Security & Transparency" page that honestly discloses even our current limitations. ■ About subscriptions The app is free, and Shortcut mode is completely free to use. Cloud mode (with All-Day Relay and zero maintenance) is a monthly subscription with a 2-week free trial; cancel anytime in system settings before it renews. — AI Wake is an independent, third-party app, not affiliated with any AI provider. Using the wake feature requires your own active subscription. Terms of Use (EULA): https://aiwake.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://aiwake.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Rounds at every 2 days against AI Wake's weekly. Rounds also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
