I’ve never been a morning person. For as long as I can remember, waking up early felt impossible—forcing myself awake just left me groggy and uncomfortable. I wanted to feel truly refreshed in the mornings, but nothing seemed to work.
Then I learned about sleep cycles: if you wake up at the right point in your cycle, you feel alert instead of groggy. I tried manually timing alarms around my sleep cycles, and it worked… most of the time. But doing it every night was a hassle, so I started looking for an app to automate it.
The apps I found either had too many extra features I didn’t need or locked the main functionality behind a subscription. That’s when I thought, “Why not make one myself?” I’m not an iOS developer, but I know about programming, so I bought a $99 Apple Developer account and started building.
After some trial and error, I made Sleke: simple, minimal, and focused purely on sleep cycles. Now, most mornings, I wake up feeling genuinely refreshed.
I’m sharing it on the App Store so anyone struggling with mornings can try it. You get 7 free sleep sessions, and the premium version is a one-time purchase—no subscriptions, no extra fluff. I built it for myself, but if it can help anyone else wake up better, that would be amazing.

Just checked my Apple Watch after using Sleke, and it shows my "Sleep Duration" has gone down. Previously, it was around 9 hours.
But I’m loving it. I'm staying productive longer than ever, and waking up feeling completely refreshed every morning!
