About this app

Transform your Wear OS watch into a smart alarm clock that lets you wake up well.
Wake up alert and in the right mood!

Can’t remember the last time you woke up fresh and energised? Are you stuck in an endless cycle of sleeping through or ignoring your alarm clock?

Based on maximising the science of sleep, Wake Up Well has been designed to wake you up at the optimal time. Unlike the traditional alarm clock, which works to wake you up at a specific time, Wake Up Well wakes you up gently with vibrations at the optimal time – when you’re rested, relaxed and in REM or Rapid Eye Movement sleep.

What is REM?
REM Sleep was identified by sleep researchers as a phase in sleep in which a person sleeps lightly. It occurs throughout various times during sleep; one of the last instances it occurs is close to morning. It is said that during REM, the brain activity behaves similar to the brain activity during hours you are awake.

How it works
Wake Up Well detects the optimal time to wake you up. When using alarm clocks, most people’s bodies are not yet prepared or still in deep sleep. Notice that when you wake via your alarm clock’s command you’re often groggy, have a cloudy mind and lacking in energy? That’s because your body is still in deep sleep. With Wake Up Well, you’re gently awoken during REM – when your brain is more active and your body is naturally ‘waking up’.

Wake Up Well detects your slight movements during REM and in the ‘wake up window’ you set. It is during this time Wake Up Well monitors when to wake you up.

Start the day with more energy with Wake Up Well.

To set an alarm first open Wake Up Well on your watch. Touch "New alarm", then scroll to the time you need to wake up. This is the latest time the alarm will go off.
Swipe to the right for options. The wake up window will determine the earliest time the alarm will wake you up - based on your sleep pattern. After setting your wake up window swipe to the right again and touch the days you want the same alarm to repeat. If you want just a single use alarm do not touch any days. Once you have finished setting your alarm, swipe left to return to the original screen and swipe again to receive a confirmation window.

Use the ‘Wake Up Well’ Complication on new Watch Faces to show the next alarm time.

Please see the FAQ if you use a Samsung watch and have troubles with granting the permission.

The app is extremely clunky and very limited. It only vibrates the watch to wake you up. The tiny vibrations aren't enough to make sure I get up. If you set an alarm then delete it, that alarm will still try to wake you up. That just happened to me this past morning. Trying to stop an alarm is difficult and interferes with swipe gestures. Overall the app is very frustrating.

This app worked perfect for me, well, almost. Unfortunately, through no fault of this app, Wear OS 4 removes the ability for apps to draw over other apps, because Google is an awful awful company. As a result, this app can no longer display the screen for dismissing the alarm in the morning. I'm not sure a workaround is even possible for this. I hate Google, and this might be my final straw towards never buying a Wear OS device again. Anyways, this app is great, and the alarm still works.

I have the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle HR watch. Using the default settings, the app requires significant movement to trigger the alarm. Thankfully the dev replied to my review w/ instructions on adjusting sensitivity since this ability wasn't intuitive. I changed it to the highest sensitivity (+4) and it worked fine. It's easy to set an alarm nightly. I receive watch reminders to set an alarm. If you find this inconvenient, pay a few bucks to support the dev's work and get recurring alarms.

Many thanks Sarah for your review, I appreciate it. Please let me know on android@pete.ch if you have an idea how to make the sensitivity setting more intuitive. Cheers
