Jump, shake, and prove you're awake

Wake up. Prove it. Stay up.

HardWake Alarm helps stop half-asleep dismissals by requiring movement missions before your alarm fully stops.

The 6 AM problem

Normal alarms are too easy to silence.

When you're half-asleep, dismissing an alarm takes one tap of muscle memory - and you're back under the covers before your brain catches up.

  • One-tap snooze turns off the alarm before you're actually awake.
  • Autopilot wins. You won't even remember turning it off.
  • The fix isn't louder. It's getting your body moving.
How it works

Four simple steps to a real wake-up.

Set it once at night. In the morning, HardWake makes sure you're actually on your feet.

1

Set your alarm

Pick a time, label, and repeat days - just like a normal alarm.

2

Choose a mission

Decide how you'll prove you're awake: shake, step, or jump.

3

Complete movement proof

The alarm only fully stops once you finish the movement mission.

4

Optional Awake Check

A follow-up check helps you confirm you stayed up - not back in bed.

Mission modes

Pick the proof that fits your morning.

Three movement missions, from a gentle nudge to a full wake-up.

EASY

Shake Mode

Give your phone a steady shake for a few seconds. Light, quick, and great for everyday mornings.

MEDIUM

Step Mode

Stand up and step in place. Getting vertical and moving makes it far harder to drift back to sleep.

HARD

Jump Mode

The strongest wake-up: a short burst of jumping. There's no faster way to shake off grogginess.

Jump Mode is off by default and requires a one-time safety opt-in. Only enable it if you have a clear, safe space.

FAQ

Good questions, answered.

Does HardWake replace my phone alarm?
Yes - you set your wake-up alarms inside HardWake instead of your default clock app. It adds a movement mission on top of a normal alarm so it doesn't fully stop until you've proven you're awake.
Why does it need permissions?
Alarms rely on phone settings like exact alarm timing and full-screen alerts. HardWake guides you through the phone settings that help alarms appear clearly and on time, and explains what each one does before you enable it.
Is Jump Mode safe?
Jump Mode is turned off by default and only becomes available after a one-time opt-in. Use it only if you have a clear, safe space and feel comfortable doing it. Prefer Shake or Step Mode any time you're not sure.
Is there a free version?
HardWake is currently subscription-first. Eligible store accounts can try the full app with a 7-day trial before the subscription renews. The store shows the current price, renewal terms, and cancellation details before purchase.
Does it work when my phone is locked?
HardWake is designed to show a full-screen alarm over the lock screen where your phone allows it. The in-app Reliability Check helps you turn on the settings that make this work as smoothly as possible on your device.

Stop dismissing alarms half-asleep.
