Solve it, don’t swipe it
The alarm goes off for good when you solve a challenge: sums in three levels of difficulty, as many in a row as you choose. There is no button that simply makes it stop.
Alarm clock for Android
The alarm that doesn’t stop until you’re actually awake
Wakzuno keeps ringing until you solve a challenge. Tapping does nothing; thinking does. By the time your phone is quiet you are awake, and you are never shown an advert at that moment.

What Wakzuno does
One idea, carried through properly: an alarm clock has not finished its job until the person it woke is actually awake.
It comes back within a minute
Ignore it, swipe the notification away, close the app, walk off. Within a minute it rings again, and it keeps coming back until the challenge is solved.
Nothing sells to you at 06:30
No advert appears on the alarm screen or during a challenge. Ever. That is a promise, not a setting you have to go and find.
Offline, and no account
Nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to. Your alarms stay on your phone, and they still ring in aeroplane mode.
As many alarms as you need
Set as many as you like, each with its own days of the week, its own name and its own sound. Skip a single morning without deleting the alarm you rely on.
Your own sounds
Alarm tones made for the app, or any audio file from your phone. Set the volume per alarm, and let it rise gradually if you would rather not be startled.
Snooze, on your terms
Choose how long a snooze lasts and how many you are allowed, including none at all. Set the limit while you are awake enough to mean it.
Dutch and English
The whole app is available in both languages, fully translated. It follows the language of your phone, and you can pick the other one in settings.
It tells you when it can’t wake you
Settings shows which permissions an alarm needs and which ones are missing, so “why didn’t it go off?” has an answer you can see and fix. Your alarms are still set after you restart your phone.
The one promise
No adverts on the alarm screen or during a challenge. Ever. Waking up is the moment a person is least able to agree to anything, and an alarm clock that sells you something right then is not an alarm clock, it is a billboard with a snooze button.
Wakzuno is free, and free users do see adverts, on the alarm list and in settings, the two calm screens where they can do no harm. A subscription removes them everywhere. What never changes either way is the wake moment itself: no advert, no offer, no upsell while you are still trying to open your eyes.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what people ask before installing an alarm clock they intend to depend on.
What makes Wakzuno different from other alarm clock apps?
You cannot turn Wakzuno off by tapping a button. The alarm stops only when you solve a challenge, and if you ignore it, swipe it away or close the app, it comes back within a minute and keeps coming back until you solve it. So you are genuinely awake by the time your phone is quiet, instead of half asleep and switching it off without remembering.
Does Wakzuno show adverts while the alarm is ringing?
No, and it never will. There is no advertising on the alarm screen or during a challenge. Adverts appear only on the alarm list and the settings screen, and a subscription removes them everywhere.
Does Wakzuno work without an internet connection?
Yes. There is no account and nothing to sign in to. Your alarms are kept on your own phone and ring whether or not you are online.
What kind of challenges does Wakzuno use?
Sums, in three levels of difficulty. You decide how hard they are and how many you have to get right in a row before the alarm stops.
Is Wakzuno available for iPhone?
No. Wakzuno is an app for Android phones and tablets.
Is Wakzuno free?
Yes. Wakzuno is free and every alarm feature works without paying. Free users see adverts on the alarm list and the settings screen, never while an alarm is ringing, and a subscription removes advertising entirely.
Which languages does Wakzuno speak?
Dutch and English, both fully translated. The app follows the language of your phone, and you can pick the other one in settings at any time.
Why does Wakzuno ask for battery and alarm permissions?
To save battery, Android is allowed to hold back apps that are not on screen, which for an alarm clock means ringing late or not at all. Wakzuno asks to be left out of battery saving and to be allowed to ring on the exact minute. Settings explains each permission in plain words and shows you which ones are still missing.
