complete a challenge or the alarm doesn't stop. closing the app, swiping away, or sliding to stop? that just sets another alarm. it's that simple.
how it works:
1) set an alarm with one or more challenges
2) alarm goes off
3) complete the challenge to silence it
4) start your day with a win instead of a snooze
14 challenges built to actually get you up:
• flappy pigeon: clear a random number of pipes
• dino run: survive the jungle by dodging obstacles
• cyber-knight: defeat the cyber-wizard
• fruit shinobi: slice the fruit mid-air, spare the bombs
• tennis: win the morning rally against a live rival
• affirmation: read aloud the given affirmation
• math: solve a set of problems
• barcode hunt: hunt down and scan a barcode
• snap the sky: capture the sky
• make bed: tidy up your bed
• object hunt: hunt down a random item
• photo booth: take 3 pics feeling yourself
• push-ups: complete a random set of push-ups
• squats: complete a random set of squats
no cheating, no shortcuts:
• lock in mode prevents deleting the app while an alarm is going off
• the alarm doesn't stop until the challenge is done, no exceptions
• AI verifies your photo challenges
climb the league:
• every wake-up banks XP, dismiss fast and keep a streak for bonus XP
• climb from bronze all the way to diamond
• each week your group settles who moves up and who slips back: top 10 promote, bottom 5 drop
• race real early risers worldwide and watch your world rank climb
WAKE UP with friends:
• see when friends crush their morning challenges
• comment on each other's WAKE UPs
• keep streaks going together
sleep tracking that actually helps:
• syncs with apple health for sleep duration, bedtime, and wake time
• see your sleep score every morning
• track consistency week over week
• earn badges for showing up
alarm sounds you'll actually get up to:
- vine boom, brain rot, and more
- upload your own MP3 if none of them hit
free vs premium:
WAKE UP is free to download. start with 2 challenges (snap the sky + squats) and the classic alarm sounds. no paywall to use it.
premium unlocks everything else: all 14 challenges, every alarm sound, custom sounds, sleep insights, streak history, and more. cancel anytime.

Simple concept that works. You have to complete a challenge to turn off the alarm so it actually gets you out of bed instead of hitting snooze. I love it!!
Great but needs work
Monnarch
This is actually a great app, it sends encouragement reminders, and when you don’t do the challenge it pesters you with alarms, it’s effective but it doesn’t recognize me. I chose the pushups and squats challenge and it can’t recognize me completing them, i tried many camera angles to capture my full body but it just doesn’t register anything so now i can’t turn the alarm off🫠 i was a bit over eager and probably should’ve did the trial first because now i won’t get a refund but i have to delete the app to turn off this alarm permanently.
life saver

I have such a hard time waking up in the morning and this has been a life saver to force me out of bed. super loud and persistent but that’s the whole point cuz it makes me annoyed enough to where it works and i’m up! I actually do enjoy the mini games and picture hunting even if it sucks to wake up. in my opinion the subscription is worth it since i’m finally getting to work and class on time! apple alarms just weren’t cutting it lowk.
Costs money

Why does an alarm app cost money I rather have some adds then have to pay
Developer Response
hey! i’m running this completely solo and i’m still in school, so making it free just isn’t viable. i actually tried having a free tier for the first month of launch, but it got costly pretty fast. it’s also worth noting that this isn’t just a simple alarm app… there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes, like the games, social features, and the LLMs powering some of the challenges.
120FPS support on compatible devices and improved alarm triggering.
