A softer start, without giving up reliability.
Wonderwake is made for people who dislike harsh alarms but still need to get up on time. The first cue stays calm; the wake-up becomes more assertive only when it needs to.
- Your chosen gentle sound begins quietly instead of arriving at full intensity.
- The volume rises through a wake-up window you can adjust.
- If you keep sleeping, Wonderwake can escalate to a Nudge and native iPhone backup.

A gentle alarm with stronger layers behind it.
Wonderwake separates the way waking begins from the protection you need if the first sound is not enough.
- Gentle begins with your chosen sound and rises over your selected wake-up window.
- Nudge can add a stronger Wonderwake sound if you keep sleeping.
- With permission, Wonderwake schedules a native iPhone alarm that remains independent if the app is interrupted.

What makes Wonderwake different from the iPhone alarm?
Wonderwake is designed around a wake sequence instead of one immediate alert: a gentle sound that rises over time, an optional Nudge, and a native iPhone alarm backup when it is available and authorized.
You can choose Wonderwake sounds, import compatible audio or downloaded music, and pair the alarm with compatible lights through Apple Home.

FAQ
Gentle iPhone alarm FAQ
What is Wonderwake?
Wonderwake is a gentle alarm clock for iPhone. It starts with a softer sound, raises the volume gradually, and can add stronger backup layers if you keep sleeping.
How does the gentle wake-up work?
You choose a sound and a wake-up window. Wonderwake begins quietly and raises the volume through that window instead of starting at full intensity.
What happens if I do not wake up?
If you do not stop Gentle, Wonderwake can play a stronger Nudge when Stronger alarm is enabled. On iOS 26.1 or later, an authorized, separately scheduled native iPhone alarm can then take over. See how alarm backup works.
Can heavy sleepers use Wonderwake?
Wonderwake is designed for heavy sleepers who want a gentle start without trusting one soft sound. Gradual volume is followed by a louder Nudge and optional automatic iPhone alarm backup, giving deep sleepers several chances to wake up.
Is Wonderwake free?
Wonderwake is free for the first 7 days. The free trial lets you try the gentle iPhone alarm before choosing paid monthly, yearly, or lifetime access. Current local pricing is shown before purchase.
Can I use my own sounds or Apple Music as an alarm?
Yes. You can import your own audio and compatible downloaded tracks from Apple Music or your music library. Your custom alarm sound uses the same gradual volume rise as Wonderwake sounds, so it starts softly and becomes clearer through your selected wake-up window.
Can Wonderwake control sunrise lights?
Yes. Wonderwake can run a sunrise with compatible lights through Apple Home. Philips Hue works when its Bridge and lights are already added to the Home app.
Does Wonderwake track sleep, sleep phases, and circadian rhythm?
With permission, Wonderwake uses recent Apple Health sleep records or iPhone motion-based estimates. Phone inactivity is not proof of sleep. Missing records, device use and irregular schedules can affect the result. Sleep stages supplied by Apple Health are source estimates, not measurements made by Wonderwake. In development: expanded sleep tracking, history and routine insights. Availability depends on the released app version, device and permissions. Upcoming features are not included in the current offer until released.
Does Wonderwake have a sleep timer or sleep cycle mode?
Yes. Nap mode works as a sleep timer: choose a duration or set a target time. Wonderwake shows how many estimated 90-minute sleep cycles fit your timer and whether your chosen wake time falls near a cycle boundary, then uses the same layered alarm reliability when the timer ends. A 90-minute cycle is a planning convention, not a measured sleep stage. Actual sleep cycles vary. A timer cannot identify a biologically ideal moment to wake you.
Does Wonderwake have an Apple Watch app?
Wonderwake does not have a standalone Apple Watch app, so the reliable alarm runs on iPhone. Depending on Apple's settings, the Watch may mirror the native iPhone backup with sound or vibration when Push Alerts from iPhone is enabled.
Is Wonderwake available on Android?
Not yet. You can join the free Wonderwake Android early-access list now. We will send an invitation when the first Android release is ready.
Make tomorrow
a little gentler.
