Optional friction for harder mornings

Wake missions for iPhone alarms

Wake missions add a deliberate proof step before dismissal when a standard Stop control is too easy.

Missions are optional. The goal is not to make every alarm difficult; it is to give harder mornings a dismissal flow that requires intention while leaving ordinary alarm setup clear.

Mental missions

Math, Memory, Typing, Tap, Symbol, and 2048 add cognitive friction without relying on movement.

Movement missions

Walk, Shake, and Squat can require physical proof when motion-based interruption fits the morning.

Place-based missions

Scan, QR Code, and Photo Match can make reaching a chosen object or location part of dismissal.

Profile-aware setup

Wake Profiles provide a starting point while individual mission and pressure choices remain editable.

Choose the kind of proof

Mental missions interrupt autopilot with a task. Movement missions are useful when standing up or moving is the intended proof. Place-based missions can connect dismissal to an object or location outside immediate reach.

Permission restraint

Camera, motion, photo, and scan permissions should be requested only when the selected mission needs them. They are not blanket requirements for creating or using every alarm.

Plan for safety: Choose missions you can complete in the environment where the alarm will ring. Avoid movement or place-based tasks that create a fall, driving, or other physical risk.

Best fit

Wake missions fit people who need more than sound and a standard dismissal control, but still want the underlying alarm state and permissions explained clearly.

Turn dismissal into proof.

Start with the simplest mission that reliably interrupts your usual snooze pattern.
