Features & Capabilities

Wake up and actually stay up. Redesigned missions, live rep-counting workouts, and real friends, leagues and community to keep you accountable every single morning.

The alarm app that won't let you doomscroll.

wakn up forces you to complete a real wake-up mission before your alarm stops — then locks social media and distracting apps until you've earned them. No snooze button. No scrolling in bed. No more wasted mornings.

Built for heavy sleepers, people with phone addiction, and anyone serious about building a morning routine that actually sticks.

WAKE UP WITH MISSIONS The only way to dismiss your alarm is to complete a challenge. No tap-and-sleep shortcuts.

Math & memory challenges Push-ups & physical fitness missions Barcode scan — place it in another room so you have to get up Room exit — your alarm won't stop until you leave your bedroom Pattern recognition & reaction speed tests Voice alarm creation — say "set alarm for 6am with push-ups and block Instagram" and it's done Custom difficulty from manageable to brutal

SOCIAL MEDIA & APP BLOCKER The moment your alarm fires, wakn up locks your chosen apps.

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat — all blocked until your mission is complete. No willpower required. You physically cannot open them until you've earned it.

This is the only alarm clock that stops morning doomscrolling at the source.

BUILT FOR HEAVY SLEEPERS If you sleep through regular alarms, tap snooze without waking up, or disable alarms in your sleep — wakn up is built for you. Dismissing it requires real physical and mental effort. You cannot passively tap it away.

Choose sounds designed to cut through deep sleep, or set escalating volume that gets louder until you're up.

MORNING STREAK & HABIT TRACKER Every morning you complete builds your streak. Every miss breaks it.

Daily streak with milestone achievements at 7, 14, 30 and 100 days Morning score based on how fast you wake and complete missions Points system with streak multipliers Full history of your wake times and discipline scores

The longer your streak, the harder it becomes to quit.

STOP DOOMSCROLLING IN THE MORNING Most people reach for their phone within 30 seconds of waking up. That dopamine hit from social media sets the tone for the entire day.

wakn up breaks that habit by making your mission the first thing you do — not your feed. By the time apps unlock, you're already up, moving, and in control.

LIVE ACTIVITY Track your step count, push-up progress, or time remaining directly on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Updates in real time — no need to open the app.

WHO IT'S FOR

Heavy sleepers who can't wake up with normal alarms Anyone trying to stop hitting snooze People building a 5am or early morning routine Students, entrepreneurs, and gym-goers Anyone dealing with phone addiction or screen time problems People who want to stop doomscrolling first thing in the morning Anyone who wants to wake up with purpose instead of habit

WHY IT WORKS Most alarms rely on sound alone. wakn up relies on psychology. You cannot passively dismiss effort. The moment your brain engages with a mission, sleep is no longer an option. Combine that with immediate app blocking and your morning is controlled before your old habits take over.

This is not an alarm clock. It's a morning operating system.

User Reviews

Was looking for an alarm similar to Alarmy that didn’t drain my battery so much and have unnecessary bells and whistles. The two main issues in this app are that the math problems aren’t customizable enough (and are pretty easy to just do 3) and the alarm can be snoozed and doesn’t turn back on. Also the way the app tries to make you rate 5 stars before you’ve even used it is shady.

Was looking for something similar to Alarmy but with less bloat, downloaded this to try and it forces you to collect provide a bunch of personal information and just really heavily bloated with extra button clicks. After 5 minutes of clicking through the bloating (which is all very clearly written and designed by ai), you prompted to leave a review with no obvious way of skipping it. After skipping or leaving a review, you’re them prompted to “sign up for a free trial” and there’s no free version
