## Description

Alarms that are harder to miss and easier to complete. Try native iOS 26 alarms, the new Shake mission, refreshed UI, and smoother rituals.

How Doodlewake works:
1. Set your alarm and choose a wake-up ritual.
2. When it rings, complete the ritual to dismiss it.
3. By the time you're done, you're already up and moving.

100% AD-FREE
No ads, not when you download, not after an update, not ever. Doodlewake will never interrupt your morning with an advertisement.

WAKE-UP RITUALS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Scan: Register a barcode or QR code away from your bed, like toothpaste or a cereal box The alarm won't stop until you get up and scan it.
Steps: Set a number of steps before the alarm turns off. Movement wakes up your body.
Math: Solve math problems at your chosen difficulty to wake up your brain.
Shake: Shake your phone to prove you're awake. Fast, simple, no cheating.

Prefer no ritual? Set your alarm with no challenge and keep it simple.

BUILT FOR HEAVY SLEEPERS
If you're someone who turns off the alarm in your sleep or hits snooze five times, Doodlewake's rituals are designed specifically for you.

LOCK YOUR ALARM
Commit to waking up before you fall asleep. Lock an alarm and it can't be turned off or edited until it rings. No backing out.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN
No sleep tracker. No social feeds. No notification spam. Just the essential alarm clock features you actually need, nothing more.

PRIVACY FIRST

## Review summary

Users praise the app for its innovative, customizable wake-up flow and privacy focus, plus a clean design and responsive development. However, recurring issues with alarm reliability and bugs around the QR/barcode dismissal create frustration, along with usability gaps like no snooze and unclear device settings. A subset notes limited music service integration. Overall, strong concept and updates are often offset by reliability and friction in the barcode-based off mechanism.

### Pros

- Innovative wake-up flow with barcode/QR dismissal and math challenges
- Attractive, well-designed UI that's easy to use
- Privacy-first: does not track personal data
- Active developer support and regular feature updates

### Cons

- Alarm reliability issues: scheduled alarms sometimes don’t ring or stop unexpectedly
- Barcode/QR dismissal bugs add friction (sound cutoffs, flashlight issues)
- UX gaps: no snooze and unclear focus mode/ringer settings
- Music integration limitation: cannot link Spotify (support materializes mainly around Apple Music)
