About
Rude Awakening

The problem

Most alarm apps solve half the equation. They either help you fall asleep or drag you out of bed — never both. And the ones that try to wake you up? They're boring enough to ignore. A gentle chime at 6 AM is just background noise for a seasoned snooze-button athlete.

Our solution

Rude Awakening is two apps in one. At night, premium sleep sounds — rain, white noise, ocean waves — lull you to sleep on a fade timer. In the morning, a cast of comedy alarm characters starts polite and escalates to absurd. The longer you snooze, the worse it gets.

Drill Sergeant starts with a calm "Good morning, recruit" and ends up screaming about push-ups. Passive-Aggressive Roommate leaves notes about your life choices. Your Mom just wants to know why you never call.

What makes us different

• Escalating comedy alarms — 6 characters with 5 intensity levels each. You'll get out of bed just to shut them up.
• Premium sleep sounds — Curated ambient audio with smart fade timers and mix-and-match layering.
• Smart calendar integration — The evening briefing reads tomorrow's schedule and suggests the perfect alarm time.
• Gamification that works — Streaks, ranks, and credits reward you for actually waking up. It turns discipline into a game.

Our mission

We believe mornings don't have to be miserable. A good night's sleep and a laugh-out-loud alarm can genuinely change how your day starts. Rude Awakening exists to make getting out of bed the funniest part of your day.
