How it works

SoftWakeup is a wake-up alarm — currently a mobile app for Android. It sits before the alarm in your morning, not against it.

1. The soft wake-up begins. Well before the firm alarm, gentle audio starts playing — quietly, without repeating, requiring nothing from you.
2. You drift, you surface. No button to press, no decision to make half-asleep. Your body learns that morning is approaching.
3. The firm alarm, transformed. When it finally rings, you are already halfway awake — so it no longer feels like a siren.
4. Snooze, redesigned. Even the snooze is part of the plan: the wake-up returns at a gentle cadence, a little firmer each time, until you are up.
