A wake-up alarm for iPhone
Your alarm won't stop until you say it.
Read a prayer, a Stoic passage or a tongue twister out loud. Your iPhone listens on-device, and the alarm only goes quiet once you've actually said it.

Pick your wake-up
Choose a mode when you set up the app. Each morning brings a new line to read.
Wake up with a philosopher
"In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present: I am rising to the work of a human being."Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5.1
A daily passage from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca or Epictetus. Read it, and carry it into the day.
Say it perfectly or it keeps ringing
"Six sleek swans swam swiftly southwards."
Nothing wakes your brain like tripping over your own tongue. Nail it to shut it off.
How it works
- 1
Pick a mode
Prayer, Stoic or Tongue Twister. Then set your alarm like any other.
- 2
The alarm rings
When morning comes, it rings, and it keeps ringing.
- 3
Read it out loud
Today's line appears on screen. Sit up and say it, word by word.
- 4
You're up
Your iPhone hears you say it, and the alarm goes quiet. Good morning.
You can't just tap snooze
Half asleep, your thumb finds the snooze button without your brain ever showing up. Say It to Wake asks for your voice instead. Reading a full line out loud means you're sitting up, eyes open and thinking.
By the time the alarm stops, you're awake. And the first thing in your head isn't your inbox. It's a prayer, a bit of wisdom, or a laugh at your own tongue.
- Voice verified, not tap to dismiss
- Speech processed on your iPhone
- A fresh line every morning
- Three modes, one alarm
