UpMode: Alarm Clock to Wake Up

UpMode isn't another alarm clock. It's a system that gets you out of bed.

Most alarms are easy to ignore: one tap and you're back asleep. UpMode keeps ringing until you've completed a morning mission, something you can only do once you're actually up.

PICK YOUR MISSION
• Spin the wheel, then find what it lands on
• Solve a math puzzle
• Do squats or jumping jacks, counted by your camera on your phone
• Walk 30 steps
• Scan a code you've stuck in the kitchen
• Photograph your bathroom, or your made bed
• Memorize a pattern, or type a sentence
Chain up to three missions per alarm for the mornings that need it.

AN ALARM THAT MEANS IT
UpMode rings through the silent switch and Do Not Disturb. Opening a mission doesn't stop the sound, finishing it does. If you swipe the alarm away and drift off, it rings again a few minutes later, and keeps coming back for up to half an hour.

BUILD THE HABIT
Every won morning extends your streak. A Morning Card celebrates each one with a line written for you and your goal. Your stats show when you actually got up versus when you meant to: the number every other alarm hides from you.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Camera missions run entirely on your phone. No video is ever saved, and nothing is uploaded. No account required.

UpMode needs iOS 26.1 or later. It's built on Apple's AlarmKit, the only way an app can ring reliably through silent mode.
