How does the gentle wake-up work?
Pick a sound and how early it should start. Wonderwake begins quietly before your alarm time and slowly gets louder, so you wake up without the jolt. See how to set up a gradual alarm.
What happens if I do not wake up?
At your alarm time, a stronger sound takes over. If you still sleep through, your iPhone’s own alarm rings, even in Silent mode and even if Wonderwake was closed. See how alarm backup works.
Can heavy sleepers use Wonderwake?
Yes. Wonderwake starts gently, but it never relies on one soft sound. A louder alarm and your iPhone’s own alarm follow if you keep sleeping, so deep sleepers get several chances to wake up.
Is Wonderwake free?
You can try Wonderwake for free. After the free trial, choose monthly, yearly or lifetime access. You’ll see the price in your currency before you buy.
Can I use my own sounds or Apple Music as an alarm?
Yes. Wake up to your own audio or songs you’ve downloaded from Apple Music. They start softly and get louder gradually, just like Wonderwake’s own sounds.
Can Wonderwake control sunrise lights?
Yes. Before your alarm, Wonderwake can slowly brighten your smart lights, like a sunrise in your bedroom. It works with lights in Apple Home, including Philips Hue.
Does Wonderwake track sleep, sleep phases, and circadian rhythm?
Yes. Wonderwake shows when you fell asleep, how long you slept and how much sleep you owe, plus a daily rhythm of when you’re likely to feel focused or tired. It works with Apple Health and Apple Watch, or with just your iPhone. Sleep data is an estimate, not medical advice.
Does Wonderwake have a sleep timer or sleep cycle mode?
Yes. Nap mode works as a sleep timer: choose how long, or when to wake up. Wonderwake shows how many 90-minute sleep cycles fit and wakes you with the same gentle alarm and backup.
Does Wonderwake have an Apple Watch app?
Yes. WonderWatch is our free Apple Watch app, with no ads and no account. It wakes you silently with wrist taps that start far apart and come closer together, and it works without your iPhone. Get WonderWatch on the App Store.
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.
