Everything you need to write about RemWake. For interviews, review builds, or anything not covered here, email team@remwake.com. I answer personally and quickly.
RemWake is a smart alarm for iPhone and Apple Watch that wakes you during light sleep within a window you choose, so mornings start clear-headed instead of groggy. Built on Apple's AlarmKit, RemWake pairs on-watch sleep sensing with a guaranteed deadline alarm that rings even in Silent mode. All processing happens on-device: no accounts, no servers, no data collection. RemWake was built by solo developer Jamie [LASTNAME] and is available on the App Store with a 7-night free trial ($39.99/year).
Apple Watch tracks sleep stages in detail, but Apple's own alarm still rings at a fixed time; there is no smart wake anywhere in the system. RemWake fills that gap. It senses light sleep overnight through heart rate and motion, wakes you at a good moment inside your window, and falls back to a guaranteed alarm at your deadline if no such moment appears.
The reason timing matters is sleep inertia: the grogginess after waking, which typically lasts 15–60 minutes and depends heavily on which sleep stage the alarm interrupts. In one study, people woken from deep sleep showed around a 41% drop in performance, while those woken from light sleep performed about as well as people who were already awake.
Why Apple tracks sleep but won't smart-wake you, and how third-party apps work around the fact that Apple's on-watch sleep classifier is a private system process no app can read in real time.
A health-adjacent app whose App Store privacy label is completely empty. No account, no server, nothing transmitted.
Silent wrist-only wake, where haptics wake one person and the other sleeps through it.
