An alarm that knows where you're going.
Traditional alarms track time. WakeBear tracks your journey.
Time-Based vs Location-Based
| Time-based alarm | WakeBear location alarm | |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Fixed clock time | Proximity to destination |
| Accuracy on delays | Fails if trip runs late/early | Adjusts automatically |
| Setup | Manual guesswork of duration | Just pick a destination |
| Best for | Fixed schedules | Real-world travel |
How the Alarm Radius Works
When you share your destination, WakeBear interprets your route and sets an alert radius calibrated to your trip — tighter margins for short hops, wider margins for long-distance rides. As you move, the system recalculates in real time, so the alarm fires at the right moment instead of a rigid, pre-set distance.
Designed for Everyday Use
- No manual configuration of meters or coordinates.
- No need to understand GPS or geofencing to use it.
- You choose the intent ("wake me up near my stop") — WakeBear handles the rest.
- Works as a background alarm, so you can lock your phone and rest.

A Note on Precision
WakeBear's architecture prioritizes the best available signal on your device and uses local calculations to sustain tracking even when connectivity fluctuates — inside tunnels, on underground metro lines, or in areas with weak coverage. In extreme scenarios, precision can degrade depending on signal quality and trip conditions.
FAQ
Is this the same as a regular reminder app?▼
No. Generic reminder apps trigger on arrival at a saved point, but they're not built around the specific behavior of commuting, sleeping, or getting distracted during a trip.
Can I use it for something other than transit?▼
WakeBear is optimized for public transit use cases specifically, unlike broader geofencing apps built for errands or general tasks.
