The classic
Face Splash
Walk to the sink and splash cold water on your face. The camera watches for the real thing — sheen, glints, droplets — and only then goes quiet.
Your alarm keeps ringing until you splash cold water on your face — verified live by your camera. No snooze. No going back to bed. Just you, awake, winning the morning.
Pick the time, repeat days, and a sound loud enough to mean it.
Face splash, hot shower, or the legendary cold shower.
Right through Silent, Focus, and Do Not Disturb. There is no snooze.
Cold water, real splash. Your camera verifies it live — nothing is stored.
Confetti, a freshness score, and a streak that grows every day.
Every mission ends the same way: you, out of bed, wide awake.
Walk to the sink and splash cold water on your face. The camera watches for the real thing — sheen, glints, droplets — and only then goes quiet.
Snap a photo of your running shower to silence the alarm, then confirm with a fresh post-shower selfie. Warm, awake, done.
For the ones building real discipline. Same proof flow, several degrees braver. You will not need coffee.
SplashUp uses the iPhone's system alarm engine, so it breaks through Silent, Focus, and Do Not Disturb.
Ignore it and it comes back — again and again — until you're demonstrably out of bed.
A calm night-ocean Live Activity counts down to your wake-up, right on the Lock Screen.
Verification happens live on your device. No photos stored, no face recognition, no cloud. Ever.
There's an emergency exit — but it takes 3 minutes, a long press, and your streak. The only way out is through.
Built-in troubleshooting verifies permissions, volume, and scheduling — with one-tap fixes and a test alarm.
Every verified wake-up feeds your streak. Every skipped one breaks it. SplashUp tracks your wake speed, freshness scores, total splashes, and consistency — and mints a collectible illustrated wake receipt for every morning you win.
★★★★★"I used to snooze for 45 minutes every day. Now I'm at the sink before I'm even conscious enough to argue with myself. 30-day streak and counting."
★★★★★"The cold water thing sounds insane until you try it. You're just… awake. Instantly. My 6 AM gym sessions actually happen now."
★★★★★"It rang through Do Not Disturb when three other alarm apps didn't. The streak guilt is real — I refuse to lose it to a warm bed."
No. Verification runs live on your device and compares your own face before and after the splash — looking for water sheen and droplets, never identity. Nothing is saved, nothing leaves your phone, and there's no face recognition.
Yes. SplashUp schedules real system alarms that break through Silent, Focus, and Do Not Disturb — the same way the built-in Clock app does. Backup re-rings keep coming if you try to ignore it.
There's an emergency exit — but it's earned, not free. It unlocks after 3 minutes and needs a deliberate press-and-hold, and using it breaks your streak. If you're driving, a quick instant exit keeps you safe.
An honest two-handed splash does it. The camera measures the change in your skin — sheen, fresh glints, softened texture. A damp fingertip won't fool it; the sink is right there.
No tapping needed mid-mission. Prop your phone by the sink, splash, and look at the camera. It verifies hands-free and the alarm stops on its own.
SplashUp starts with a free trial so your first won mornings cost nothing. After that it's a small subscription — less than the coffee you'll no longer need to wake up.
Set one alarm tonight. Splash once tomorrow. See who you are by Friday.
