Wake Up Right is an alarm clock for people who keep snoozing into their phones.
Instead of dismissing your alarm and disappearing into TikTok, X or YouTube for an hour, you have to actually do your morning before your phone lets you scroll. Pick the apps you want blocked, set how long the lockdown lasts, and Wake Up Right keeps them locked until you've worked through your morning plan or the timer runs out.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Wake-up challenges that take effort
Solve a maths problem, scan a QR code stuck to your bathroom mirror, or shake your phone — not just a sleepy swipe.
• Phone lockdown after the alarm
Pick the apps you want blocked. They stay locked until you tick off your morning tasks. Try to open one and you're sent straight back to your routine.
• Day plans, not to-do lists
Build a morning plan once: a few key tasks, reasons to get up, an optional motivational video. The plan reveals itself the moment you dismiss the alarm.
• Streak tracking
See how many mornings in a row you actually got up on time. A 30-day heatmap shows the pattern at a glance.
• Honest about what it is
This is a self-restriction tool. You set the rules, and you can always escape with the emergency unlock. It is not a parental-control app or device-admin enforcer.

PRIVACY
Wake Up Right runs entirely on your device. No accounts, no telemetry, no syncing. Your alarms, day plans and wake history never leave your phone.
The only network use is loading any YouTube videos you yourself paste into a day plan, and serving ads in the Free version. We don't collect location, contacts, audio, photos or files.

PERMISSIONS WE ASK FOR
• Alarms & reminders — to fire your alarm at the exact time you set
• Display over other apps — to show the lockdown screen instead of blocked apps
• Usage access — to detect when a blocked app comes to the foreground
• Accessibility (optional) — for faster blocked-app detection during lockdown. No screen contents are read
• Do Not Disturb access (optional, Pro) — to silence other apps during lockdown
• Camera — only for the optional QR-code dismiss challenge
• Ignore battery optimisation — so your alarm fires reliably after a long overnight idle
• Notifications — for bedtime reminders and the ongoing lockdown notification
We never ask for your location, contacts or microphone.
