A harder-to-ignore alarm for iPhone

Your alarm should make you move.

Wakebound replaces the half-asleep snooze decision with a physical mission: leave bed, reach your barcode, scan it, and stay awake.

The wake mission

Designed for the version of you that says “five more minutes.”

Every part of Wakebound exists to turn waking up from a choice into a sequence you can actually finish.

01

Movement, not willpower.

Put a real barcode by the sink, coffee, or front door. Finishing means physically getting there.

02

The first ring is not the whole plan.

Recovery alarms are armed ahead of time, so sleepy autopilot cannot quietly end the mission.

03

Prove you stayed awake.

A later wake check catches the dangerous moment when you are tempted to crawl back into bed.

Power Nap

A nap that ends where you planned.

Choose a duration and a saved barcode. Wakebound arms a one-time alarm with recovery protection, then keeps the countdown visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Bathroom barcode to finish

GlanceableEven while locked
The difference is what happens next

Silencing one ring does not erase the plan.

Wakebound schedules its recovery path before you sleep. The mission stays due until the required barcode flow is complete.
