A 9:00 meeting is not a 9:00 alarm. SyncWake reads your calendar, adds travel time and how long you need to get ready, and sets a reliable alarm for you. Move the event and the alarm moves with it. It can also: - Use AI to suggest event preparation steps - Prompt you to charge your phone before events out of home - Prompt you to stop doom-scrolling social media before an event
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built this for myself and then decided to share it.
SyncWake keeps your alarms in sync with your calendars. If the event has a
location, it works backwards from the start time — travel time plus however
long you need to get ready — and rings then, not at the time on the invite.
A few things I care about:
It's completely private. No accounts, no sign-up. The calendar connection is
100% on-device.
The alarms are real alarms. Apple shipped AlarmKit in iOS 26, which is what
finally made a trustworthy third-party alarm possible on iPhone.
It also warns you to charge before you leave — so you don't head out to an
event with a phone that won't survive the trip.
There are AI-suggested preparation lists — the app reads the event context and
suggests what to bring or do, shown to you at alarm time.
Both apps started in React Native and I rewrote them fully native. An alarm has
to be as refined as the OS's own, otherwise you can't trust it — and if you
can't trust it, you keep setting a backup alarm and the app is pointless.
I was forced to make it subscription based, with a 7-day trial. This app is built for you to never open it so there is no way for me to make a profit with Ads.
Let me know your thoughts on it !
