Wake Missions for an Intentional Morning

Stopping the ring is always possible: the system alarm has a Stop button. The wake mission is a separate step that asks for conscious engagement to settle the alarm.

Interactive Sandbox • Wake With a Mission

No More Mindless Snoozing

Stopping the ring is always possible. The app asks you to complete a mental or physical wake mission to settle the alarm; ringing stops before the in-app mission begins.

Mental Math Equations

Try a short arithmetic challenge as part of your morning routine. You can always stop the ring; completing the mission settles the alarm.

Reframe your morning mindset immediately. Type positive, grounded affirmations before looking at stressful work notifications or news headlines.

Physical Displacement

Physical QR Code Scan

Place a printed code on your bathroom mirror or espresso maker. Stopping the ring is always possible; the app asks you to scan the code to complete your mission and settle the alarm.

Built on Apple's AlarmKit Framework

Designed to Alert Through Silent & Focus Modes

Take a Break uses AlarmKit wake alarms with Alarms permission in iOS Settings. They ring through Silent mode and Focus. Keep your device charged and check the volume. You can always stop the ring; reminder notifications are separate.

Make your next morning your most productive yet.
