After you buy

01 · Download

You get Wakey-x.y.z.dmg by email (from Polar, the checkout we use). It also stays on your receipt if you need it again.

02 · Install

Open it, drag Wakey to Applications, and launch it from there. The first run walks you through what is on your desk. When macOS asks about Automation (Finder, Chrome, System Events) or Accessibility, click Allow. That is the only setup.

03 · Requirements

Requires an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) on macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. Nothing else to install: Wakey is a signed, notarized app that ships everything it needs.
