📋 1. Introduction
Welcome to WakeAct ("the App," "we," "our," or "us"), an alarm clock app with puzzle-based wake-up verification, sleep tracking, and gamification, created by Honorius M. Neogy. By downloading, installing, or using WakeAct, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
WakeAct is designed to help you wake up on time by requiring you to solve puzzles before your alarm can be dismissed. The App includes sleep tracking via Apple HealthKit, streak-based gamification with XP and achievements, and optional app blocking to prevent phone use until you have completed your morning puzzles.
👤 2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use WakeAct. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
🛡️
Children's Protection
WakeAct does not collect personal information from any user. No accounts are required, and no data is transmitted. The App is safe for users of all ages.
⏰ 3. The App
WakeAct allows you to set alarms that require solving puzzles to dismiss. Features include:
Configurable alarm times, days, sounds, and snooze settings
Multiple puzzle types with adjustable difficulty levels
Puzzle completion tracking to verify you are awake
Optional app blocking until puzzles are completed
You are responsible for ensuring your device settings (Do Not Disturb, volume, etc.) allow alarms to function properly. WakeAct is not liable for missed alarms due to device configuration.
With your permission, WakeAct reads sleep analysis and heart rate data from Apple HealthKit to provide sleep quality insights. All data is processed on your device and never transmitted.
WakeAct includes gamification features to motivate consistent wake-up habits:
Streaks: Track consecutive days of on-time wake-ups
XP & Levels: Earn experience points for completing puzzles and maintaining streaks
Achievements: Unlock badges and milestones
All gamification data is stored locally on your device and optionally synced via iCloud.
WakeAct can optionally block access to designated apps until you complete your morning puzzles. This feature uses Apple's Screen Time API and requires your explicit authorization. App blocking preferences are stored on your device only.
📥 4. Data Collection & Privacy
🔐
WakeAct has no servers, no accounts, and no tracking.
All data is stored locally on your device using SwiftData. Optional iCloud sync uses your private Apple iCloud container. We never see, access, or transmit your data.
Data stored on your device includes:
Alarm settings and configurations
Puzzle completion history and performance
Streak counts, XP, levels, and achievements
Sleep insights derived from HealthKit (if permitted)
App blocking preferences
For complete privacy details, please see our Privacy Policy.
❤️ 5. HealthKit Data
📱
Read-only, on-device, never shared
WakeAct requests read-only access to Apple HealthKit for sleep analysis and heart rate data. This data is processed entirely on your device. It is never transmitted to any server, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.
Health data read from HealthKit is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising. You can revoke HealthKit permissions at any time through your device settings.
🆓 6. Pricing

🏥 8. Health & Wellness Disclaimer
⚠️
WakeAct is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Sleep tracking features and insights are for personal informational use only and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
Sleep Data Accuracy
Sleep data from Apple HealthKit is provided by your device's sensors. We do not guarantee accuracy, and you should not rely solely on this data for health decisions.
Alarm Reliability
While WakeAct is designed to be a reliable alarm, you should not rely solely on any single alarm app for critical wake-up needs (e.g., medical appointments, flights).

📦 10. Data Portability & Deletion
📤
Your data is yours
All data is stored on your device. Delete the App to remove all local data. If you use iCloud sync, manage that data through your Apple ID settings. We have no server-side data to delete because we have no servers.
WakeAct is fully functional offline. No internet connection is required for any feature except optional iCloud sync.
⚖️ 11. Limitation of Liability & Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, WakeAct and its creator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, missed alarms, or damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
