Every feature exists for one reason: getting you out of bed and keeping you there.
The alarm fires. You walk. It stops. No snooze button exists — the only off switch is your legs. Wokko counts steps using your phone's accelerometer with cadence detection, so arm-flicking in bed doesn't count. You have to actually walk.
The default is 30 steps — enough to get you out of the bedroom and moving. Going through a rough patch? Lower the goal. Building momentum? Push it higher. The goal is yours to set, and you can change it anytime from the alarm screen.
Every successful walk-to-dismiss adds to your streak and your lifetime step total. After 30 days, that number becomes something you protect. The streak-at-risk notification fires at 9 PM if you have no alarm set for tomorrow — a gentle nudge before it's too late.
A record of every morning you successfully dismissed. Not a judgment — just a log. Some people find seeing a full week of checkmarks more motivating than any reminder. Your wake history lives on your device and goes back as far as you've been using the app.
ADHD brains dismiss alarms without being conscious they did it. Cognitive tasks — math problems, QR codes — get solved on autopilot. Walking is different: it works around executive function and activates the vestibular system before your brain decides whether to cooperate. The streak gives your dopamine-wired brain a visible reward worth protecting.
Your step data, alarm settings, streak count, and wake history never leave your phone. Wokko doesn't need a login, doesn't use GPS, and doesn't upload your steps anywhere. Delete the app and everything goes with it. We collect anonymous crash reports and usage analytics — never step counts, names, or location. Full details in our privacy policy.
