All 19 WakeOps missions
A mission is what the alarm asks of you before it stops. WakeOps has 19, in four families. Pick the lightest one you can't finish lying down, and move up when your thumb learns it.
Find
The camera has to see something you can only reach by getting up.
Move
Counted by the camera or the motion sensor. These end with you on your feet.
Think
Screen only: quiet, works in the dark, and needs no permission.
Voice
Said out loud, judged on your iPhone in English. Nothing is recorded.
Start gently
Where to begin before you need something harder.
Which mission should you pick?
Not the hardest one. The one you can't complete without leaving the situation you get stuck in. Pick by where it leaves you.
| Mission | What it needs | Where it leaves you | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item search | The camera, some light, and the items in your pool | Out of the bedroom, usually at a sink or the fridge | Getting up and drifting back to bed, or a routine gone stale |
| Color search | The camera, a lit room, and something in the color drawn | Up and searching the room, often the next one too | A quick hunt with no list to set up and nothing to print |
| Photo | Camera access and a target you chose in advance | At your target, usually the bathroom or kitchen | Getting out of bed being the hard part |
| Dance | The front camera, room to move, and your whole body in view | On your feet in the middle of the room, heart rate up | Mornings that need energy rather than more thinking |
| Squats | Camera access and room to stand in front of it | On your feet, a few steps from the bed | People who get up, then get back in |
| Push-ups | Camera access and room to get on the floor | On the floor, breathing harder | Mornings when you barely wake up at all |
| Yoga | The front camera, a propped-up phone, and some floor space | Standing or on the floor, stretched | Stiff mornings, and a gentler start than counting reps |
| Steps | Motion & Fitness access, and actually walking | Out of the bedroom, wherever your steps end | Getting up and then going straight back to sleep |
| Math | Attention and the screen. No permissions | In bed, but awake enough to have solved something | A shared room, a hotel, a morning with no floor space |
| Type it out | A screen and a keyboard. No permissions, no light, no noise | In bed, but awake enough to spell a whole sentence | Dark or shared bedrooms where light and noise are out |
| Word scramble | Reading and a little patience. Screen only | In bed, but reading rather than reacting | A shared room where moving around isn't an option |
| Memory | A few seconds of attention. Screen only | In bed, having actually paid attention | A gentle start that still needs you awake |
| Color tap | Color vision and attention. Screen only | In bed, having overridden a reflex | People who can do easy sums on autopilot |
| Odd shape | Open eyes and a careful look. Screen only | In bed, eyes properly focused | Anyone who reads and calculates on autopilot |
| Quick reaction | Quick taps, not thought. Screen only | In bed, awake enough to be fast | People who solve easy puzzles on autopilot |
| Maze | A steady hand and both eyes. Screen only | In bed, but sitting up and looking | The half-asleep one-thumb swipe |
| Voice missions | The microphone and speech recognition, in English | Wherever you are, but talking out loud | People who sleep alone and wake up slowly |
| Simple | One 2-second press. Screen only | Exactly where you were | Your first week, before something harder |
