Best hotel morning wakeup call of my life. Me, “Is it 7 Already?” Hotel operator, “Yes dear, I’m afraid it is.” You just don’t get that kind of sympathy from your alarm clock. Your alarm clock doesn’t care. With the app Wakie installed however, you can get a compassionate person to help you start your day.

Wakie is an alarm service. It works pretty much the same way that it does in a hotel. You pick your wake up time but instead of music or some jarring tone, you get a phone call from a stranger to say good morning, let’s get started on this day, shall we?

The phone calls are anonymous and only last for 60 seconds. At the end of a full minute, if you haven’t disconnected first, the call automatically ends. You can also be a stranger making the wakeup call. Pay it forward. The community has a large user base in 80 countries so, no matter where you live, this app may still work for you. Wakie is a free app available in the Play, App, and Windows stores.
