About this app

The alarm rings even when your child's phone is on silent.

Wake your child from your phone. WakeKids is a remote alarm clock for families: you set the alarm on your device, it rings on your child's phone, and the app shows when the wake screen is acknowledged.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pair once. Scan a QR code on your child's phone. It takes under a minute.
2. Set the alarm from your phone. Build a school-morning schedule, or send a one-off wake-up whenever you need one.
3. See the app response. Your child taps the wake screen and you get a notification. If the app receives no response, you get an alert instead. A tap confirms screen interaction, not that the child is awake.

BUILT FOR SCHOOL MORNINGS

- The alarm can open full screen on your child's phone, including while locked, when Android, manufacturer and device permission settings allow it.
- Works for heavy sleepers and for teens who turn their own alarm off and go back to sleep.
- A server-authorized backup alarm is designed to run on the child's device if the network later drops; families must test this on their own devices.
- App acknowledgements tell you when the child interacted with the wake screen, without pretending to prove they are awake.
- No-response alerts tell you when the app has not received that interaction, while there is still time to use a backup routine.
- Activity history shows what happened on each morning.

WHAT WAKEKIDS DOES NOT DO

WakeKids does not follow where your child is, filter what they browse, block their apps, or read their messages. It is an alarm clock that does one thing: it sends a wake-up alarm and reports whether the wake screen was acknowledged.

FREE AND WAKEKIDS PLUS

WakeKids is free to start. Connect one child and send 3 wake-ups per month, which is enough to set everything up and see it work on real school mornings.

WakeKids Plus removes the monthly wake-attempt limit and unlocks recurring weekly schedules. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available, and the full localized price and billing period are shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled separately in Google Play.

PRIVACY, BECAUSE THIS INVOLVES A CHILD

- No ads, and no third-party advertising SDKs.
- We never sell or share your family's data.
- We do not collect location, contacts, photos, microphone audio, browsing history, or message content.
- The camera is used only to scan the pairing QR code. No images are stored or uploaded.
- Core Firestore data and Cloud Functions are configured in Frankfurt. RevenueCat, Netlify, and Google or Apple push infrastructure may process limited data outside the EEA under applicable safeguards.
- Alarm history expires automatically after 180 days.
- You can delete the parent account and active WakeKids records in the app. Child technical identity, provider backups and store transaction records may require separate handling described in the Privacy Policy. Account deletion does not cancel a store subscription.

PLEASE READ

WakeKids is a convenience tool, not a life-critical safety device. It depends on your child's phone, its battery, its notification settings, and a network connection. Please do not rely on it alone in situations where waking up on time is critical.

What’s new

Bug fixes and improvements:

- The alarm no longer stops if you swipe away the notification — it keeps ringing until your child responds.
- Fixed an issue where disconnecting a child could show an error even though it worked.
- Turning on notifications now asks you directly in the app instead of sending you to Settings.
- Added a way to send the app directly to your child from the pairing screen.
