Forget annoying alarm clocks and that chirpy “Rise and shine” from Mom. Now you can be jarred from your delicious slumber by phone calls from random strangers around the globe.
Wakie is a free and easy app for all smartphones. Set your alarm and get a phone call from another Wakie user.
Wakies are people that wake others. Sleepies are ones who are woken up. Wakies are enouraged to sing songs, recite poems, tell jokes and be pleasant. Sleepies are encouraged to play nice and not grunt.
The call lasts 60 seconds max. No awkward goodbyes. No deep conversations. If no wakies are available, no problem. A robot will call and wish you a happy day. For more: wakie.com.
