Never miss a day

What's inside

The pieces that make a Wakie more than a video.

The Corral

Every Wakie you receive waits in your Corral until it can be opened.

When a Wakie arrives, it lands in your Corral as a sealed Cover. You can see it is there. You cannot peek. The wait is the fun.

Covers WakieUp+

Wrap it in an animated Cover that fits the moment.

Playful, seasonal, or heartfelt. There are more Covers than you could send in a year, and new ones arrive over the air.

Every Cover, including the seasonal collections, is WakieUp+.

A fanned hand of clay Cover tiles held like playing cards

Live filters WakieUp+

Viking. Hipster Sloth. Glitter.

Live camera filters, burned right into your recording while you film. They are live now, and there are a lot more where those came from.

Filters are a WakieUp+ perk.

The WakieUp Train

Everyone adds their message to yours.

Start a Train and friends and family each climb aboard with a Wakie of their own. They play back to back for the recipient, the whole ride in one go.

Each WakieUp+ rider can attach a gift.

Gifts WakieUp+

Attach a real gift, revealed at open.

A gift card, a prepaid card, a link, or a promise. It stays sealed with the Wakie and appears the moment they open it.

Gift sending is a WakieUp+ perk.

A pile of clay gifts: a wrapped box, cards, a chain, and a sealed note

Time Capsules

Send it up to twenty years ahead.

A Wakie can travel up to two years. A Time Capsule goes further: a message to your future self, up to twenty years away, filled with whatever matters now and sealed until milestones that do not have names yet.

Time Capsules are $9.99 each, separate from WakieUp+.

Receiving

The other half is the arrival.

Ask for a reaction.

Ask for a recorded reaction when you send. When they open your Wakie, they can film their face and send it back to you.

Ask for one.

Hoping to be remembered? Send a Wakie Request to your people, and the replies stack up in your Corral.

Connect in a scan.

Scan a QR code or send an invitation. Both people say yes before a Wakie can travel between them.

Trusted and verified

Only people you choose.

Nobody can send you a Wakie until you accept them as a connection. Connect by scanning a QR code in person, with an invite only the right person can use, or by finding people you already know. Join a Club and you will hear from it too, because you chose to. Parents approve connections for children in their Family.

Child safety

Built to protect children

Mutual connections and guardian approvals keep strangers out. Behind that, WakieUp takes the strongest possible stance on child safety.

Active scanning
Every image we receive is automatically checked against known child sexual abuse material.
Immediate reporting
Confirmed material is reported to NCMEC the moment it is detected.
Evidence preserved
We preserve what investigators need to act, in line with the law.
Zero tolerance
No warnings, no second chances. Offending accounts are shut down.

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.

So… who could you send a Wakie to, today?

Free for everyone.
