Tired of alarms you can silence in your sleep? Proof Wake makes that impossible. Instead of a snooze button, Proof Wake gives you a photo challenge. When your alarm rings, you have to point your camera at a real object — a coffee mug, your shoes, a spoon, whatever the app asks for — and our on-device AI checks that you actually found it. No object, no silence. You're physically up, moving, and using your eyes before the alarm ever stops. Swiping a screen doesn't wake your brain up.

Could you build this?
Yes The alarm, snooze-blocking and photo challenge flow are standard mobile work. The object check can use an off-the-shelf on-device image classifier such as Core ML or ML Kit.
