Adaptive sleep technology

Reclaim your morning.

Quality over quantity

Earn the time back.

Most alarms make you sleep until they say so. Aubade flips the question: are you actually still sleeping for a reason?

Set a recovery target. If your body hits it early, Aubade can wake you up to 30 minutes ahead of schedule — within rules you control. The result: better recovery and reclaimed time.

For founders, athletes, and parents — minutes matter.

The problem

Sleep tools report. They don't decide.

Three categories of sleep technology exist today. None of them act on the data at the moment it matters most.

01 — Traditional alarms

Wake you blindly

A fixed time, regardless of sleep stage, recovery, or whether you'd benefit from another twenty minutes.

02 — Sleep trackers

Report after the fact

They tell you how you slept once you're already awake. The data has no influence on the wake itself.

03 — Smart alarms

Try, but stay passive

A light-sleep window is a start. But they don't weigh recovery, sleep debt, or the projected value of more rest.

Aubade closes the loop. It turns passive sleep tracking into an active wake decision.

The wake decision engine

Every minute is a decision.

Aubade continuously evaluates your sleep state against the rules you set. Here's a real night of decisions.

Wake gently
The wake itself

Surfacing, not startling.

Waking up should feel like coming to the surface — not being pulled out of the water. Aubade's wake sequence escalates only as needed, and only as far as needed.

Choose your style: gentle for normal mornings, balanced for most, or immediate for the days reliability matters more than comfort.

01

Soft haptic

A gentle wrist tap on Apple Watch — felt only by you.

02

Low ambient tone

Begins at the edge of hearing. No sudden onset.

03

Gradual rise

Volume and intensity increase over 60–90 seconds.

04

Full alarm — only if needed

The traditional alarm becomes a fallback, not the default.

Features

Built around how you actually sleep.

Real rules, real exceptions, real schedules. The kind of control most alarms refuse to give you.

Recovery-based wake

Set a target recovery score. Aubade waits until you reach it — within the window you allow.

Early wake permission

"Wake me up to 30 minutes early if my recovery is already above 94." Take time back when you've earned it.

Hard cutoff respect

Your latest wake time is sacred. Aubade will never miss it — no matter what your recovery looks like.

Light sleep priority

Aubade favors waking you during lighter sleep stages — when grogginess is lowest.

Explained decisions

Every morning, Aubade tells you why it woke you when it did. No black box.

Learns over time

How you actually felt at wake refines your personal model. The score that matters is yours.

Morning explanation

Never wake wondering why.

The first thing you see is the reason. Transparency builds trust — and a better wake model over time.
