9 alarms, still asleep
Seven alarms every night as insurance. Nine snoozes every morning as reality. The math has never once worked out.
Made in Hong Kong · The alarm that roasts you awake
No mission,
no mercy.
WakeUpLa is the alarm that won't stop until you finish a wake-up mission — then roasts you for surviving it.
Not up? Not off.

Do the mission or it keeps ringing
look at you. up. actual applause 👏
Sound familiar?
Late. Again.
“Sorry, traffic.” Be honest — the worst congestion in Hong Kong is the three steps between your bed and the bathroom.
“Five more minutes”
Five minutes becomes another five. You open your eyes and somehow it's 10:30.
How it works. Three steps.
The alarm rings
Loud. Even on silent. Built on Apple's AlarmKit, it's a real system alarm — it shows on your Lock Screen and cuts straight through Focus modes.
Do the mission to silence it
Tap “Do it” — photograph the thing, do the push-ups, solve the math. Finish, and only then does it go quiet.
Collect your roast + streak
Complete the mission and you get a roast (or some backhanded praise) on screen, and today goes on your streak.
7 missions. One of them will get you up.
From moving your body to waking your brain — pick whatever actually works on you.
Stack up to 3 missions on one alarm
Photo hunt 影相搵嘢
Before bed, pick one household object. When the alarm rings, photograph that exact thing. AI vision checks the photo — and roasts you if you try to fake it.

Push-ups 掌上壓
Prop the phone about a metre in front of you — the front camera counts your reps on-device.
Squats 深蹲
Same camera rep-counting, squat edition. Blood moving, brain booting.
Shake Fing 電話
Shake the phone hard (default 30 times). The motion sensor counts; your arm decides when you're awake.
Math 計數
Solve arithmetic problems (default 3). Can't add? You're not awake yet. Keep going.
Read aloud 大聲讀
Hold the mic button and read 3 positive affirmations out loud. Speech recognition, in the language you picked in the app, checks you actually said them.
Scan code 掃碼
Register any barcode or QR at home (the toothpaste tube works). At ring time, physically walk over and scan it.
Anti-cheat system
Planning to cheat? It planned first.
iOS forces a system Stop button onto every alarm — so this app was designed assuming you'll press it.
Punishment re-alarm
Stop the alarm without finishing the mission? A punishment alarm fires 15 seconds later. There is no snoozing your way out of this.
- You hit Stop
- 15 seconds later
- Punishment alarm rings
Wake-up check 起身確認
About 15 minutes after you finish the mission, a surprise check-in fires. Ignore it (you went back to bed, didn't you?) and a punishment alarm rings about 19 minutes later. Confirm you're up and it disarms.
One-off skip 放我一馬
For genuinely lazy mornings, you can skip the next ring — once. The weekly schedule resumes after. Mercy exists; it's just rationed.
The roast wall
Straight from the app's English roast bank, word for word. Deadpan on purpose.
look at you. up. actual applause 👏
fine. you didn't die in that bed today.
that's not it. not even close.
wrong. did you shoot that with your eyes shut? 😑
still in bed? that mattress isn't your friend.
had enough sleep? the world isn't waiting.
barely acceptable. same again tomorrow.
Your mornings, on the record
It doesn't just roast and run — every morning is logged.
12day streak
Streaks + streak freeze 🧊
Consecutive wake-ups build your streak. Up to 2 missed days a week are auto-frozen, so one bad night doesn't nuke it.

Wake-up charts
See your own patterns: which mornings you fought hardest, at a glance.
Wake records
What time you woke, how long you struggled, how the missions went — day by day, no excuses.
Apple Health (optional)
Read-only access to your sleep data, so stats reflect your real average sleep. It never leaves your phone.
Pricing
HK$24 a month on the yearly plan — the price of one iced lemon tea. Still cheaper than being late again.

Start free trial
The 3-day free trial applies to the yearly plan only; the monthly plan has no trial and is charged at confirmation of purchase. Yearly and monthly are auto-renewing subscriptions billed to your Apple ID, and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, with renewal charged within 24 hours of that date. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and never auto-renews. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store subscription settings. Terms & Conditions · Privacy Policy
Fine, ask away
My phone is on silent / in a Focus mode. Will the alarm still ring?
Yes. WakeUpLa is built on Apple's AlarmKit, so alarms are real system alarms: they ring loudly through silent mode and Focus, and show on the Lock Screen like the built-in alarm.
Where do my mission photos go?
The photo is sent over an encrypted connection for a one-time AI check (did you photograph the right thing?), then discarded. We never store it and never use it for ads. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Is the app listening to me?
No. The mic records only while you physically hold the read-aloud button, and the audio is processed by Apple's speech recognition in the language you chose in the app. The app stores no recordings.
What about my sleep data?
The Apple Health connection is optional and read-only: it only reads your sleep analysis for stats, and the data never leaves your phone.
What if I genuinely want to sleep in?
Use 「放我一馬」 (one-off skip): skip the next ring — once. The weekly schedule then resumes as normal.
How do I cancel the subscription?
iPhone Settings → tap your name at the top → Subscriptions → WakeUpLa → Cancel Subscription. You keep access until the end of the current billing period. On the Lifetime plan there is nothing to cancel in the first place.
Is the Lifetime plan really one payment?
Yes. HK$688 charged once through the App Store — no subscription, no auto-renew, every Premium feature unlocked for good. If you'd rather try before you commit, take the yearly plan: the 3-day free trial comes with it.
Does the monthly plan come with a free trial?
No. The 3-day free trial is on the yearly plan only. Monthly charges HK$38 at confirmation of purchase and renews every month until you cancel.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone, iOS 26.5 or later. AlarmKit is what makes silent-proof system alarms possible.
Can I use it in English?
Yes. The whole app runs in English, Cantonese, Taiwan Mandarin or Simplified Chinese — switch any time in Settings. Each language's roasts are written natively, not translated 😌
Still scrolling? Your alarm won't fix itself.
Try it free for 3 days; cancel if it's not for you.
I solemnly swear: starting tomorrow, no more snoozing.
Signed: you, allegedly
