WakeGuard: Unskippable Alarm
Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The alarm you can't skip: solve math, shake or walk to turn it off. 21 wake-up missions, streaks, sleep sounds and a wake-up check. Yearly Premium: 7 days free.
WakeGuard has one job: actually waking you up.
Most alarms are easy to silence half-asleep. WakeGuard isn't. To dismiss the alarm, you complete a real wake-up challenge — no shortcut, no cheating.
— HOW IT WORKS —
1. Set an alarm and pick a wake-up challenge.
2. When it rings, complete the challenge to dismiss it. That's the only way to stop it.
3. Premium unlocks a small number of free snoozes per morning, if you genuinely need a few more minutes — no cost, no catch, just a cap so it doesn't turn into an hour of dozing.
— 20 WAKE-UP CHALLENGES —
Free forever: Math and Shake.
Premium unlocks 18 more:
▸ Brain: Memory, Anagram, Mini Sudoku, Stroop, Typing
▸ Body: Steps, Squats, Push-Ups, Jumping Jacks, Reach Up High
▸ Prove you are out of bed: Selfie with eyes open, QR Scan, Photo Match, Daylight check
▸ Mind: Voice Vow, Deep Breathing, Gratitude, Daily Intentions
— STREAKS & STATS —
Every on-time morning grows your streak. Hit milestones at 3, 7, 30 and 100 days, see your weekly wake pattern. Share milestone cards when you are proud of them.
— PREMIUM —
▸ All 20 wake-up challenges
▸ A handful of free snoozes per morning, capped so you do not oversleep
▸ Sleep Sounds library: rain, ocean, forest, fireplace, white/pink/brown noise with sleep timer
▸ Wake-Up Check: verifies you are still awake two minutes after dismissing
▸ Backup Alarm: a second safety-net alarm
▸ Extra Loud Mode: volume ramps up if you do not respond
▸ Spoken alarm labels
— RELIABILITY —
WakeGuard uses protected background audio so your alarm keeps ringing loudly even when the phone is locked or in silent mode. A notification fallback covers you if the system closes the app.
— FAIR & SIMPLE —
▸ No ads. No dark patterns.
▸ The full wake-up flow works for free, forever: completing a challenge always dismisses the alarm at no cost.
▸ The free tier is challenge-only, on purpose — that is what makes it work.
Most alarm apps try to shout you awake. WakeGuard makes waking up unavoidable.
Wake up as the person you decided to be last night.
