About WakeTok
Wake what you saved — A local-first vertical scrolling app for rediscovering your own photo and video library. Years of photos and videos can sit in your library, rarely seen again. WakeTok brings them back: swipe up and down through them full screen, one at a time, Live Photos included. On your device. No account. Nothing uploaded to WakeTok. CHOOSE WHAT TO BROWSE, AND IN WHAT ORDER • Browse your whole library, only photos, or only videos — there is no limit on how many items you can browse. • Or build a pool from the albums you choose and browse just those. Save the pool and come back to it whenever you like. • Choose the order: Shuffle, Newest → Oldest, or Oldest → Newest. Shuffle your whole library and you will come across photos and videos you'd forgotten were there. Reach the end and WakeTok starts a fresh round. ORGANISE, SHARE OR DELETE AS YOU GO • Swipe left to add what you are looking at to the WakeTok album in Photos — a bookmark for later. Nothing is moved or copied. • Add to Favourites, or add to one of your own albums. • Share through the iOS share sheet. • Delete with the usual iOS confirmation; items go to Recently Deleted. MADE FOR YOUR LIBRARY • Live Photos, videos and animated GIFs play full screen. Tap a video to pause or resume, scrub to any moment, and long-press a Live Photo to replay it. • Pinch to zoom into a photo. • See when each item is from: 3 months ago, 11 years ago. • Works with iCloud Photos. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-in. • No ads, no analytics, no tracking. • Nothing is uploaded to WakeTok. • WakeTok stores your pools and settings on your iPhone.
