## Description

The alarm that only stops when you find checkmate. One small win before your feet touch the floor — 2,050 offline puzzles, four difficulties, zero ads.

Wake up with chess.

MateWake is the alarm clock that only goes quiet when you solve a chess puzzle. Find the checkmate, stop the ring, and start the day with your brain already moving.

HOW IT WORKS

A real iPhone system alarm rings — loud, even in silent mode. Instead of a snooze reflex, you get a position: mate in 1, 2, 3, or 4. Play the winning moves and the morning is yours.

CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE

Gentle — mate in 1. Quick and kind.
Normal — mate in 2. The perfect morning puzzle.
Focused — mate in 2–3. A sharper start.
Hardcore — mate in 4. Serious calculation.

Or build a custom mix. Change it whenever your mornings change.

KIND WHEN YOU'RE STUCK

Half-asleep and blanking? Ask for a hint, watch the mate and replay it yourself, or step down to an easier puzzle. Either way, you still finish on a winning move.

MADE FOR SLEEPY MORNINGS

2,050 curated checkmate puzzles, stored on your iPhone — works fully offline
Five original wake-up melodies
Snooze your way: no snooze, one 9-minute grace period, or earn each snooze with a puzzle
Snooze countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
Streaks and solve-time stats to watch yourself sharpen
Beautiful in light and dark mode

HONEST AND FREE

No ads. No subscriptions. No account. No tracking — MateWake collects nothing, and everything stays on your device.

A note from the maker: I'm Alessio, a chess player who wanted the first decision of the day to be a good one. MateWake is my small answer. If it earns a place in your morning, I'd love to hear about it.

One honest caveat: MateWake relies on iOS to ring and can't wake a phone that's powered off or out of battery. For anything you truly can't miss, keep a backup alarm.

Puzzles derived from the Lichess Puzzle Database, released under CC0. Requires iOS 26 or later.
