About RemWake
Most mornings you stir a few times before your alarm goes off. A normal alarm doesn't care. It rings on the minute, and if it catches you at the wrong point you feel it all day. RemWake gets a window instead. You set the time you have to be up and how early it's allowed to wake you, and it spends that window waiting for one of those moments. Catch one and getting up is easy. Some nights there isn't one, and then it just rings at your set time. You won't oversleep. WITH AN APPLE WATCH Your watch sleeps until the window opens, then wakes up and reads wrist movement and heart rate for up to half an hour before your set time. It wakes you with a buzz rather than a noise, so nobody else in the room hears it. Nothing runs the rest of the night, so it barely touches your battery. WITH YOUR IPHONE Put it on the mattress and it reads movement all night, however long your window is. OR RUN BOTH This is the good one. Your iPhone watches the whole window and your Watch takes over for the last half hour, so you get a long window and still get woken by a buzz on your wrist instead of a noise. They talk to each other, so you only get woken once. IT LEARNS FROM YOUR OWN SLEEP If you've worn a watch to bed, RemWake reads your sleep history out of Apple Health and works out how often you actually stir before your alarm. It'll tell you straight what a given window is worth for you. Some nights you don't stir at all, and on those it just wakes you at your set time. SLEEP SOUNDS Rain, ocean, white noise, brown noise, with volume control. One plays for as long as your iPhone is tracking — that's what keeps it awake to sense the night. Tracking on Apple Watch instead is completely silent. WHAT YOU GET IN THE MORNING Your heart rate across the whole night, how restful it was, how long you were in bed, and the exact moment RemWake picked to wake you. There's no account and nothing to sign up for. Your sleep data stays on your phone. You can share anonymous data to help improve the wake detection if you want to, but it's off until you turn it on. FREE AND PREMIUM Free gets you the smart alarm on either device, last night in full detail, and the rain sound. Premium adds your whole history, Trends, the other three sounds, 60 and 90 minute windows, and CSV export. $7.99 a month with a week free. $69.99 a year with a month free. Or pay $249.99 once and it's yours. RemWake isn't a medical device and won't diagnose anything. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated September 1, 2026
The Apple Watch alarm now always rings. On nights where you never stirred inside the wake window, the Watch could hand your wake-up to the iPhone and stay silent — and watchOS would then warn that RemWake had failed to play a scheduled alarm. Fixed: the Watch rings at your set time no matter what, and the first alarm to fire still silences the other, so you're never woken twice. Also in this update: • A single decisive movement can now fire the smart alarm, instead of always needing a sustained stir. • First-launch permission prompts no longer stack on top of each other.
