Alarm clock meets app blocker. Do pushups to dismiss your alarm, then earn your screen time throughout the day. Track it all with your Discipline Score.
Wake & Earn is an alarm clock app and a screen blocker app all in one.
Set your alarm. Wake up. Complete a quick task to dismiss it. Your distracting apps stay locked through the morning buffer feature. At night, apps lock automatically again, so you wind down and get to bed on time. Earn screen time throughout the day with timer tasks of your choice or with exercise (pushups, walking).
Wake & Earn requires a subscription to access all features. Free 3-day trial available with the annual plan.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your alarm and pick a dismiss task: Solve a math problem, do pushups, shake your phone, or type a phrase.
2. When the alarm goes off, complete the task to dismiss it. Dismissing the alarm earns you 5 minutes of screen time.
3. If you have the morning buffer enabled, your apps stay blocked for 15 minutes to 2 hours after waking up.
4. Every minute of productive activity earns you two minutes of screen time (walking is 1,000 steps = 1 minute of screen time).
5. Earn screen time minutes throughout the day by reading, meditating, walking, doing pushups, or completing any custom task you set.
6. At bedtime, you can choose to have apps auto-lock again. Set a wind-down notification to remind you before it kicks in.
7. Track your progress through the alarm dismissal streak and the discipline score
YOU CHOOSE THE RULES
Pick which apps get blocked. Adjust everything in Settings. Messages, Phone, Maps, and other essentials are never touched. You can unlock apps at any time. You're always in control, but the discipline is up to you.
