Awake’s new app requires heavy sleepers to complete tasks in order to turn off the alarm

A new iOS app called Awake, specially designed for heavy sleep who must complete the tasks to stop their warning, was launched on Monday. The app is only available for users with the iOS 26 update, which is also released on Monday.

Unlike the traditional watches of the warning that can be silenced with a simple click, it aims to wake up to the inclusion of the brains of users actively to ensure that they are completely waking up. Once the alarm affects, users must complete a series of interactive tasks to stop them.

These tasks include a variety of challenges, such as iPhone rotation, completing a set of payments, tackling mathematics problems, puzzles, or even language lessons. By combining physical and mental activities, Awake aims to help break the nap cycle and encourage a more active start today.

While there are other similar applications, such as alert, challenges, and Mathe Alarm, among other things, they are distinguished by providing additional features. One of these is the “morning briefing”, which provides a summary dedicated to the information the user chooses the night before, including weather forecast and events from the calendar.

There is also a mass integration, which prevents users from accessing social media as soon as you wake up. The future feature will allow people to listen to new podcasts once their eyes are opened.

In addition, Awake includes sleeping layout function that helps improve sleep quality by allowing users to enter the required amount of sleep and the time for a preferred waking up. Then he calculates the best time to go to bed.

Leo Mehlig, an Indie developer behind the famous Daily Planner app, says he has developed awake in response to the high order of vocalist users. Mehlig jumped on the idea after the Apple iOS 26 announced, which provided developers with access to a new warning framework to create alarm apps and a time device with features such as alerts on the full screen.

“I felt that there should be something better than the standard stimulant for people who are struggling to wake up in the morning,” Techcrunch told Techcrunch. “So we always had [planned for it]But we mainly calm down. Then when I saw [Apple] Keynote, I saw the alarm set, you like, “Well, we now need to build this.”

Awake is available for free, with a distinct subscription option for $ 1.75 per month or $ 19.99 a year, which opens additional tasks such as waking up to run the light, wipe the fast response code, and walking a certain number of steps. Even one task requires users to read a talisman.

Looking at the future, Mehlig imagines the integration of an feature called “Wake Up Check”, which will achieve dual if people are really awake after completing the task. Using a step meter, the application will follow the movement of users after the task; If no movement is discovered, he will send a notification. If the user does not respond within a few minutes, the application will lead to another warning to ensure that it does not sleep.
