Alarms go off at a fixed time. SmartWake goes off at the right moment.
Set the latest time you must be up and a window of up to 30 minutes. During that window, your Apple Watch reads your movement and heart rate. The moment you drift into light sleep, it wakes you with a silent tap on your wrist. If that moment never comes, it wakes you at your set time. Never later.
WHY IT WORKS
Waking from light sleep is easier than being pulled out of deep sleep. You get up with less struggle, from the same amount of sleep.
HOW IT WORKS
- Pick your latest wake-up time and a window (10–30 minutes).
- Wear your watch to sleep. SmartWake monitors movement and heart rate during the window only.
- A quiet, repeating tap wakes you at the best moment — silent, so it never wakes your partner.
- A backup alert always fires at your latest time. You will not oversleep.
- Once armed, everything runs on the watch. Your iPhone can stay in another room.
ON YOUR IPHONE
- Set up the alarm and review your sleep statistics.
- Arm and disarm with Siri Shortcuts.
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus a Control Center toggle.
- A Live Activity with Dynamic Island support shows the alarm while it's armed.
ON YOUR WATCH
- Smart Stack and watch-face widgets take you straight to the alarm.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No servers, no account, no ads, no analytics. Your heart rate is read on the watch and used there to time your alarm. Alarm data and statistics stay on your devices.
DETAILS
- Requires an Apple Watch (Series 4 or later) for the alarm itself. watchOS 10.6 and iOS 18.6 or later.
- Uses Apple Health (read-only) for heart rate. Revoke access anytime in the Health app.
- Monitoring runs only during your wake window, so battery impact stays small.
- Available in 22 languages.
SmartWake does one thing: it finds the best moment to wake you, and it never misses your deadline.
