How it works

Three steps.
No excuses.

Wakey closes every escape route. The only way out is through the mission.

01

Register a mission object

Choose any object in your home: your coffee maker, bathroom mirror, front door, or fridge. Wakey stores it as your mission target.

02

Alarm fires at your set time

Your alarm goes off loud, even on silent. You cannot dismiss it, swipe it away, or turn off your phone to escape. The mission screen takes over.

03

Take the photo to dismiss

Walk to your mission object and photograph it. Wakey verifies the match on-device using Apple Vision. Match confirmed. Alarm dismissed. You're awake.

wake you up.
