SureWake

For when the built-in alarm isn't enough. Rings even if the app is closed, rings again if you doze off. Free to try for 14 days, then a one-time unlock. No subscription.

For when the built-in alarm isn't enough.

SureWake is built on iOS 26's AlarmKit — the same system-level alarm engine the Clock app uses. Your alarm is scheduled by iOS itself, so it rings even if SureWake is closed, force-quit, or hasn't been opened in days. No background tricks, no battery drain.

WHY IT RINGS • Scheduled by the system, not by the app. If the Clock app would ring, SureWake rings. • Backup rings are booked in advance. When your alarm goes off, up to two backups are already waiting in the system. Dismiss and doze off, and it rings again — with a stronger tone. • A Reliability page shows you exactly what's scheduled. You don't have to trust us; you can check.

WAKE-UP CHECK Stopping the alarm isn't the same as being awake. After you stop it, SureWake gives you a few minutes to confirm you're up — or the backup rings. Pick how you confirm: • Tap — one big button. • Arithmetic — three quick problems. • Type — copy a sentence, no paste, no autocorrect. • Shake — fifteen good shakes and you're done. A countdown lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island so you always know how long you have. Every method has an honest exit: if you're truly up, say so.

YOUR MORNINGS, KEPT Every confirmed wake-up is a real system event, not a manual check-in. SureWake keeps a streak, your time-to-rise, and a calendar of your mornings. No badges, no points, no guilt notifications — just your own data, given back to you.

SUNRISE ON YOUR TIMELINE See where sunrise falls relative to your alarm, computed offline from your time zone — no location permission needed. Allow your location once for a closer estimate.

WHAT YOU'RE PAYING FOR Everything is free for 14 days. After that, one purchase unlocks it for good. Mostly, you're paying for things that aren't there. • No subscription. One purchase, yours forever. • No account. Nothing to sign up for. • No network of its own. SureWake itself never goes online; the only network activity is Apple's own purchase flow and rating prompt. • No ads, no analytics, no tracking. • No pets, no coins, no leaderboards.

HONEST LIMITS • The ringing screen is iOS's own. We can't change how it looks, and the volume buttons will stop it — that's exactly why Wake-Up Check exists. • Alarm tones come from SureWake's built-in set (eight tones, three intensities). iOS doesn't allow importing your own music into system alarms. • Requires iOS 26.1 or later.

SureWake is made by one person who overslept too many times. If it ever fails to ring, we want to know — support is a real inbox, and it gets read.
