How Wakeprint compares with mission alarms and sleep trackers
The short answer
Wakeprint is an alarm app for iPhone that learns which sounds work for you and picks your next one. It doesn’t track your sleep.
You never have to solve a puzzle to stop the alarm. If you get used to a sound, Wakeprint gives another sound a turn. Turn on Wake Rescue, and a second alarm with a different sound rings a few minutes after you stop the alarm on the Lock Screen, unless you tap “I’m up”.
Not a mission alarm
Mission and challenge alarms ask you to do something before the alarm stops: solve a math problem, take a photo, scan a code, shake the phone or walk. Some also ring again after you stop them, until you confirm you’re up.
Wakeprint never makes you do a task to stop the alarm. It works on the sound: it learns which sounds work for you and picks your next one. Turn on Wake Rescue, and a second alarm with a different sound rings a few minutes after you stop the alarm on the Lock Screen, unless you tap “I’m up”. Wake Rescue is free. With Wakeprint Pro, it can ring again every 5, 10 or 15 minutes until you tap “I’m up”, for up to an hour, and Voice Verification can ask you to say your wake phrase, or type it, before Wake Rescue is canceled.
A mission alarm fits you better if you need a task you can’t skip before the alarm stops.
Not a sleep tracker
Apps made for sleep follow your night with the microphone, the phone’s motion or a watch, and many of them ring at a moment they choose before your alarm time.
Wakeprint doesn’t track your sleep. It doesn’t listen or record while you sleep, and there’s nothing to wear. Your alarm rings at the time you set; what Wakeprint picks is the sound. Each sound gets its own Wakescore, from 0 to 100. It’s not a sleep score.
An app made for sleep, or an Apple Watch, fits you better if you want data about your nights, such as how long you slept.
Compared with the Clock app on iPhone
Like the Clock app on iPhone, your Wakeprint alarms ring through Silent Mode and Focus once you allow alarm access. Wakeprint also picks your sound each morning, gives each sound its own Wakescore, and adds Wake Rescue and a Morning Note read aloud right after you stop the alarm.
If the Clock app already works for your mornings, keep it. It’s free and built in.
Wakeprint may suit you if
- you feel you’ve gotten used to your alarm sound
- you stop the alarm and fall back asleep
- you set several alarms in a row: with Wakeprint Pro, Wake Rescue can ring again until you tap “I’m up”, for up to an hour, so you can set fewer alarms
- you want an alarm with no puzzle, no sleep tracking, no account and no ads
Something else fits you better if
- you want data about your nights, such as how long you slept or whether you snore
- you need a task you can’t skip before the alarm stops
- your iPhone can’t run iOS 26, or you use Android
- you want a sunrise light
- you need results from the first morning: each sound needs a few mornings first
