Wakeline: Alarm Clock Missions

Wakeline is an alarm clock that stops when you're out of bed.

Pick something outside your bedroom, like the coffee bag in the kitchen. When the alarm goes off, walk there and scan it. Scanned means you're up. Then Wakeline walks you through the rest of your morning, one stop at a time.

HOW IT WORKS • Set a time and a route of up to three stops: Kitchen, Bathroom, Door. • Stop 1 is always a scan: any barcode or QR code you picked. Register two or three items so running out of coffee never locks you out. • No barcode handy? Print a QR sticker from the app and put it on the fridge. • When it rings, the lock screen tells you where to go: "Next stop: Kitchen". Tap Scan to Stop, walk there, scan, and the sound stops. • Pressed Stop instead? It rings again a minute later, up to the number of times you choose, until you reach stop 1. • The next stops can be a scan, a number of steps, or a tap. • Optional still-up check: a few minutes after you finish, it rings once more and asks for one more scan or a short walk. It stays off unless you turn it on. • Can't find the item? Walk 80 steps in two goes instead, up to three times a month.

IT RINGS WHEN IT SHOULD Wakeline uses AlarmKit, the system alarm service in iOS. It rings with your phone on silent, in a Focus, after a restart, and when the app isn't open. Nothing runs in the background overnight. • "Ready for tonight" checks the alarm permission, that the week's alarms are scheduled and that your sound is there, and tells you how to fix anything that isn't. • Skip tomorrow, or pause everything while you travel. • Snooze is off by default. If you want it, turn on a snooze window of 5 to 30 minutes.

ALSO • 15 alarm sounds, from a soft dawn to the loudest bell. Or record your own, or pick a file from Files. • Rotating shifts, and days off from your holidays calendar. • This morning at a glance, and a week of how fast you got up. • Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets. • Three looks: Sky, Transit and Sticker. The app icon can change with them. • In English and Simplified Chinese.

THE PRICE, UP FRONT • Everything is free for your first 7 days. The trial is a free in-app purchase called "7-day Trial": nothing is charged and there's nothing to cancel. • After that, the free version keeps working: one alarm, a one-stop scan route, and the Sky look. • One purchase unlocks everything for good: unlimited alarms, three-stop routes, steps, the still-up check, shifts and holidays, the week view, all sounds and looks. • Family Sharing is on: you and up to five family members get it. • No subscription, no ads.

PRIVACY No account, no ads, no analytics. The camera only reads the code's number or text; no photo is taken or kept. Everything stays on your iPhone.

The Stop button on the alarm always works. Wakeline doesn't stop you from turning it off; it just makes getting up the quickest way to get some quiet.
