Earn your wake-up.

Waky's alarm doesn't stop when you tap it. It stops when you finish a mission — mental math, a typed code, push-ups, or a photo of your made bed. Miss the morning and your streak is gone.

Stop is a snooze. Only a finished mission ends the morning.

Set it. Sleep. Earn it.

Three steps, and only one of them happens while you're conscious.

  1. 1

    Pick your time and your mission

    Set the alarm, then choose what it will take to switch it off: mental math, a code you can't guess, push-ups the camera counts, or a photo you have to get up to take.

  2. 2

    It rings until the mission is done

    Tap stop and it comes back in seconds. Ignore it and it comes back anyway. The mission is the off switch, and nothing else ends the morning.

  3. 3

    Your streak keeps the score

    Every earned wake-up adds a day. Miss one and the count goes back to zero — which is the entire point. Skipping has to cost something.

    Waky achievements, with earned and locked milestones

Three rules, and they're the whole product.

Take any one away and Waky is just another alarm with a snooze button.

The mission is the off switch

No slide-to-dismiss and back to sleep. Finish the task, or keep hearing about it.

It comes back

Stopping buys you seconds, not minutes. The alarm returns until the mission is actually finished.

The streak has to sting

A run of earned mornings you can lose in a single one. That's what gets you up on the days motivation doesn't.

The streak

Ten rungs, climbed one morning at a time.

Every earned wake-up moves you up the ladder. These are the same tiers you unlock in the app.

    14 mornings

  6. 21

  7. 30

  9. 60

  10. 100

    One hundred

    100 mornings

Miss a morning and your streak goes back to zero. A tier you've unlocked stays unlocked.

Waky counting push-ups with the camera

Pick your mission

Eight ways to prove you're actually awake.

Mental math, for people who can't fake arithmetic at six in the morning. A typed code, for the ones who would solve the math in their sleep. A shake that doesn't stop until you're on your feet. Push-ups and squats, counted by the camera. Or a photo — your made bed, the sky outside, or an object you have to cross the room to find.

Difficulty is set per alarm — a harder mission for the mornings that actually matter, something gentler for the weekend.

When it counts

It rings whether or not the internet does.

Every alarm is scheduled on the device itself. A dead connection, hotel Wi-Fi that never loads, or a plane at thirty thousand feet changes nothing about 6:30am.

Your streak syncs whenever there's a signal. The ringing never waits for one.

Built around how mornings actually go

Small decisions that matter at the exact moment you're least reasonable.

iPhone and Android

The same alarm, the same missions and the same streak on both. Neither one is the afterthought.

Streaks and achievements

Milestones for the runs you build, so the habit has something to show for itself besides being awake.

No ads

An ad in an alarm clock is a punishment for waking up. Waky is paid for instead, and that's the whole deal.

Yours, on your device

Alarms live on the phone. The server exists to sync your streak between devices, never to make the alarm ring.

Free forever for one alarm and the basic missions.

Frequently asked

If your question is not here, email support@workyloop.com.

Can I just dodge it?

Honestly, yes — on iPhone the system's own Stop button can't be removed by any app, and we aren't going to pretend otherwise. What Waky does is make dodging expensive: the alarm comes back, and a skipped morning ends your streak. It makes snoozing hard, never impossible.

Which missions can I use?

Eight. Mental math, a typed code and a shake; push-ups and squats, counted by the camera; and three photo missions — your made bed, the sky outside, or an object you have to go and find. Each has its own difficulty setting, and you pick one per alarm.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Alarms are scheduled by your phone, not by our servers, so airplane mode and dead Wi-Fi make no difference. Your streak catches up the next time you're online.

What happens if I miss one?

Your streak resets to zero. There's no mercy rule yet — freezes and repairs are something we're considering, but for now the count means exactly what it says.

Will it wake me if my phone is on silent?

On iPhone, Silent Mode cuts the alarm short, and no app is allowed to detect that switch — so we can't even warn you inside the app. If you sleep with the ringer off, test it before you trust any alarm with an early flight.

Is there a free version?

Yes — one alarm and the math, typing and shake missions, free, with no ads and no trial clock running out. Paying unlocks unlimited alarms and the rest of the missions.

iPhone or Android?

Android is out now on Google Play. The iPhone version is with Apple for review, and needs iOS 26 or later, because Waky uses Apple's current alarm system to ring the way an alarm is supposed to.

Why the name?

Because it's what the app is for, said the way you would say it before coffee.
