HardWake: Heavy Sleeper Alarm

Don't just wake up. Prove you're awake.

HardWake is an alarm clock for heavy sleepers and anyone who turns off alarms half-asleep. Give yourself a task before dismissal: solve a math problem, shake your phone, or repeat a color sequence. Build a wake-up routine that asks for more than a sleepy tap.

START WITH THREE FREE CHALLENGES

• Math alarm: solve problems before dismissing your alarm.
• Shake: move your phone to complete the challenge.
• Memory: repeat a color sequence to focus your attention.
• Easy and Normal difficulty included.

Set unlimited one-time or repeating alarms on the days you choose. Pick your alarm sound, gradual volume fade-in, and vibration pattern. Turn snooze off, limit it to three times, or require a challenge before snoozing.

Practice your selected challenges silently before bed. Check your local wake history, day streaks, and wake summary. Light, dark, and system themes, TalkBack support, and a reduce-motion option are included. Tahajjud alarms use Fajr times calculated on your phone.

BUILD A MORE DEMANDING ROUTINE WITH HARDWAKE PRO

• QR code alarm and Barcode challenge: register a code, then scan it to dismiss the alarm. Put that code away from your bed to give yourself a reason to get up.
• Walking alarm: take steps with your phone to complete the challenge. Requires a compatible step sensor and activity recognition permission.
• Challenge Chain: combine up to 5 challenges in one alarm and complete them in sequence.
• Typing and Pattern challenges for more variety.
• Hard and Brutal difficulty, adaptive difficulty, and different challenges on different days.
• Wake-up checks after dismissal. If you miss a check, the alarm rings again; optionally repeat your challenge.
• Next Alarm and Wake Record home-screen widgets, plus advanced wake statistics and trends.

QR and barcode challenges require camera permission. Pro features are optional; Math, Shake, Memory, and core alarm scheduling remain free.

CHECK YOUR ALARM READINESS

Review alarm, notification, full-screen, and battery settings in HardWake. Schedule an alarm test to check sound, vibration, and challenges on your device.

HardWake uses Android alarm scheduling, restores schedules after a restart, and includes recovery for interrupted alarm sessions. Alarm behavior still depends on your device, volume, permissions, and battery restrictions. Alarms cannot ring while your phone is powered off. Reopen HardWake after force-stopping it.

LOCAL FIRST, WITH NO ADS OR TRACKING SDKs

No HardWake account is required. Alarms, wake history, settings, and Tahajjud coordinates are stored locally and are not uploaded to ObayLabs. Android backup and device transfer may copy local data according to your system settings.

QR and barcode scanning happens on your device. HardWake stores a salted code fingerprint and your label, not photos or the code's contents.

Pro purchases use Google Play Billing. Purchase tokens and product IDs are sent to a secure verification service; alarm, wake-history, location, and challenge data are not included. Alarm features work offline; purchases and verification need a connection.

HardWake Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Google Play displays local prices and any eligible offers before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through Google Play.
