How it works
Record, seal, and schedule
Capture up to two minutes — your face, your voice, the whole feeling — wrap it in a Cover, and choose the exact moment it opens. Every Wakie you send or receive waits in your Corral until then.
- RecordCapture up to two minutes — your face, your voice, the whole feeling.
- CoverWrap it in an animated Cover that fits the moment, and leave a note.
- ScheduleChoose the exact moment it opens, in their time zone. Then let the anticipation build.

The WakieUp Train
Everyone adds their message to yours
A birthday on the way? Start a Wakie Train. One by one, friends and family each climb aboard — a great message from Grandpa, your favorite Auntie, a hello from your older sister. Then, with everyone on board, the messages are delivered as one.
Grandpa
Your favorite Auntie
Your older sister
The whole family
Each WakieUp+ rider can attach a gift to their message.

Daily self-Wakies
Leave a message for your future self, to motivate the person you are becoming.
Trusted & verified
You’ll never hear from a stranger
You will never receive a Wakie from anyone you haven’t expressly connected with. Connections are mutual and verified through a text-only challenge chat before anyone can send you a thing — and parents control exactly who can connect with their children.
Mutual, verified connections. Both people opt in before anything is sent.
Challenge-chat verification. A text-only check confirms who someone is first.
Parents in control. Guardians approve every connection to a child’s account.
Live camera filters
Add a little fun with live camera effects while you record. Launching soon as a WakieUp+ perk.

Private by default
Every Wakie is private between you and the people you send it to. If a recipient wants to share theirs, that choice is always, only, theirs.
