Waykup · from Strata Studio
Beat the dealer.
Beat the snooze.
Waykup is an alarm clock with a card game built in. When it rings you sit down at the table and play. Win, and the day can start.
Inside the app
Six screens.
One morning, beaten.
Scroll through a morning with Waykup: set the alarm, wake up to the table, play your way out of bed.
A big, quiet clock and your alarms as cards, each one saying when it rings next. Your streak for the week sits underneath.
Pick the time, the days, the game and the sound. There is no snooze, and a second check-in after you win makes sure you are really up.
The alarm rings until you play. One button takes you to the table, and there is an emergency stop for the day you truly need it.
Place your bet, hit or stand. Win enough hands and the alarm stops. Lose, and you play again.
The alarm is off and the morning is yours. Waykup tallies the hands you played, your streak and the chips you earned.
Wake on time and climb: ranks, a daily streak, your win rate per game and a week at a glance. In the League you play bots and climb with trophies.
The rules
How a morning goes.
An alarm you can't wave away. Four steps, no snooze button anywhere.
- It rings. Sound, vibration, and a button that says Play. That is the only way to the off switch.
- You play. A few hands at the wake-up table. Place your bet, hit or stand, beat the dealer.
- You win, it stops. Win enough hands and the alarm is done. Lose, and the next hand is already dealt.
- You check in. Turn on the second run and Waykup asks you to confirm you're up a few minutes later. Miss it, and the alarm rings again.
Chips are points inside the app, used only to keep score. They cannot be cashed out and there are no payouts.
More than blackjack
Pick your way
to wake up.
Blackjack is the classic. Memory and Higher / Lower give a half-asleep brain something else to chew on. Choose the game per alarm.
