The problem

Tired of resetting your alarms every single week? Set the rotation once — and forget about it.

Shifts 2/2, 3/3, 4/2 or 24/48 mean every Sunday you have to remember: is it a work week? Did I turn on Monday's alarm? WakeLoop removes this routine completely — and shows your next wake-up right on the home screen.

Features

Everything a shift worker needs

A smart alarm clock for people who live on a rotating schedule — plus the little things that make mornings easier.

Set it once — forget the routine

Describe your work/rest cycle and the start date. WakeLoop calculates every wake-up day for you and stops ringing when the rotation ends.

Shared Calendar

All your alarms in a single visual window: pick any day and see exactly when it will ring. Added in the latest update.

Home screen widget

See your next wake-up at a glance, set a Quick Nap ("Siesta") in one tap, and customise the clock: size, colours, opacity, bold font.

Weather on the widget

The Moto Clock widget shows the weather for your city — detected automatically by IP or searched manually. Free, no API keys.

Gentle & smart ringing

Auto-snooze, auto-decrease snooze, auto-dismiss, volume crescendo, gentle wake-up and even a pattern to dismiss — you choose how hard the alarm should push.

Wake-ups you can rely on

Exact alarms via AlarmManager, automatic re-scheduling after reboot, app update, time or timezone change, plus background re-checks and a battery monitor.

Timer and stopwatch included

A full-featured timer and a lap stopwatch with background notifications live right inside the app — no need for a second one.

Themes, backgrounds, languages

Light and dark themes, procedural backgrounds and a friendly UI. Interface available in English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Polish and Portuguese.

Schedule modes

Seven ways to describe your schedule

From a single ring to a full rotating cycle with several times per day — pick the mode that matches your rota.

Mode 1

One-time

The alarm goes off only once.

Mode 2

Days of week

Repeat on selected days (e.g. weekdays only).

Mode 3

Shift (2/2, 3/3)

For simple schedules: set days on / days off and the cycle start date.

Mode 4

Weekly cycles

For schedules that change every week: 2, 3 or 4 weeks with a different set of days.

Mode 5

Shift (Individual)

Like a shift, but a different wake-up time for every working day of the cycle.

Mode 6

Rotating (2/2/2/2)

For complex rotation cycles: 2 days — 2 off — 2 nights — 2 off.

Mode 7

By days (Schedule)

Pick exact trigger dates for each shift with a visual calendar.

Plus

Several times per day

Calendar mode, multi-time days of week and multi-time shift — up to 12 trigger times.

Preview

Setup in seconds

Your rota, translated into wake-up days

Pick a mode, enter days on / days off, choose the cycle start date — and the calendar instantly shows every day the alarm will ring.

  • Nothing to do every night. The alarm stays on and follows the rotation by itself.
  • Different times per week. Give week 1 and week 2 their own wake-up times.
  • Labels, ringtones, vibration and full advanced settings for every alarm.
Home screen widget

Your next wake-up, always on screen

A glanceable widget with the next alarm, the weather and a one-tap Quick Nap. Choose the size, colours, transparency and font weight — it stays readable on any home screen.

  • Next wake-up time plus a live countdown to it.
  • Weather for your city — detected by IP or picked manually.
  • Quick Nap — a short nap straight from the widget.

How it works

Three steps to a quiet routine

Describe your rotation

Choose a mode, days on / days off or a week pattern, and the date the cycle starts.

Check the calendar

WakeLoop highlights every upcoming wake-up day — make sure the schedule matches your rota and save.

Just wake up

The app keeps the alarm in sync on its own — after reboots, updates and time changes.

FAQ

Good to know

Will the alarm ring after a reboot?

Yes. WakeLoop re-schedules every alarm after a reboot, an app update, a time or timezone change, and background workers re-check upcoming alarms periodically.

Does it need the internet?

No. Alarms, schedules and history are stored on your device. The internet is only used for the optional weather on the widget and for update checks.

Do I need an account or a subscription?

Neither. Install it, set the rotation and go. The app is free and contains ads.

Which schedules are supported?

One-time, days of week, shift 2/2 and 3/3, weekly cycles (2–4 weeks), individual shift times, rotating 2/2/2/2 and calendar-based schedules — plus several trigger times per day.

Where can I download it?

On Google Play worldwide and on RuStore for Russia. Both links are in the section below.
