About

Smart Wake Alarm doesn't just ring at a fixed time — it watches for the moment you're already closest to waking up, and gently nudges you then instead. Set a target wake time and a window (e.g. 30 minutes). During that window, the app watches your wrist movement and heart rate for the light-sleep signals that show up between deep-sleep cycles. The moment it spots one, it wakes you — quietly, right on your wrist. If it never finds a clean window, your original wake time still fires as a guaranteed fallback, so you're never late. FEATURES • Light-sleep detection window — wakes you at the best moment near your target time, not always the worst one • Silent, haptic-only wake — no sound needed to avoid waking a partner (plus 10 built-in alarm melodies if you do want sound) • Escalating wake pattern — vibration (and tone, if enabled) build in intensity until you respond • Smart snooze — snooze length adapts to how much time is actually left before the hard cutoff • Power nap mode — same light-sleep engine, sized down for a 5–40 minute nap • Morning feedback + history — rate how you felt after waking, and look back at when and why each alarm fired HOW IT WORKS Smart Wake Alarm uses your watch's own step/motion data and heart rate history — already logged by the watch — to spot the brief movement and heart-rate upticks that typically mark lighter sleep. No extra sensors, no phone required, everything runs on-device. A NOTE ON ACCURACY This is a heuristic, not a clinical sleep stage classifier — think of it as a smarter alarm window, not a medical device. It's not intended to diagnose or treat any sleep condition. IMPORTANT The app has to be open!!!!!!!!
