Wake Wise
Wake Wise is an app that recommends ideal bedtimes for your babies by incorporating wake windows, helping to prevent overtiredness and bring peace back to parents’ lives. With the premium plan, a smart notification system and live activities remind you when it’s time to put your baby to sleep.
