I no longer have an alarm for every minute on two devices. Thank you.” - Smarrsi04 “I love this app so much. I use to snooze my alarm like 5 times every morning and only have 10 minutes to get ready and almost be late. This alarm wakes me up the first time by making me solve math equations and it won’t go off until I solve them all and if I get one wrong I have to do another equation. And if you usually sleep through your alarm then there are quite a few really annoying loud alarm sounds that wake you up immediately. And it also tells you when to go to bed and it’ll keep bugging you until you do. If things can’t already get better you can make a morning routine checklist and it shows you your list of things to do as soon as you turn off your alarm. This app has definitely solved all my problems of getting enough sleep and waking up on time. Whoever’s idea it was to make this app you are so amazing and creative and thanks you for this app.” - 5 star Taylor Swift “I am one heavy sleeper: I’ve tried many things to wake me up in the morning and have failed many times. This is effective and I am upset I did not get it any sooner. One of the most important apps in my phone.” - Pink (: *** We Want to Hear From You! *** Let us know how you're enjoying Mathe Alarm Clock, or give us your suggestions: support.mathe-alarm-clock@tooltaps.com ----- ¹ Procedural Ringtones require iOS 13 or later

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mathe Alarm Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MathWake sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mathe Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mathe Alarm Clock has 8.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Mathe Alarm Clock's written reviews are positive against 100% of MathWake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mathe Alarm Clock ships an update every 5 weeks, MathWake every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
