What missions does ByeBed offer?

Last updated: May 26, 2026

ByeBed includes 12 wake-up missions: math (typed keypad), push-ups (counted by Apple Vision body pose), photo of the sky, photo of a made bed, photo of a random object, shake (accelerometer), drawing (trace a shape), maze navigation, memory pairs, memory sequence (Simon Says), Snake, and Flappy Bird.

The full mission menu (12 total)

ByeBed groups its 12 missions into four categories. Each can be set to easy, medium, or hard difficulty.

Cognitive (3 missions)

• Math. Typed answer on a numeric keypad. No multiple choice. Difficulty scales to multiplication 12×12.
• Memory Cards. Match pairs of hidden cards. Pure working memory.
• Memory Sequence (Simon Says). Repeat a growing sequence of colors or symbols.

Physical (2 missions)

• Push-ups. 5, 10, or 20 reps counted by the front camera via Apple Vision body pose detection. 100% on-device.
• Shake. Vigorously shake the phone for a set duration. Accelerometer-based.

Photo / vision (3 missions)

• Photo of the sky. On-device recognition verifies the sky is in frame. Forces you to a window or outside.
• Photo of a made bed. On-device recognition checks the bed is made — forcing the morning habit itself.
• Photo of a random object. The app names an object (e.g., "kettle", "toothbrush") and verifies you photographed it.

Mini-games & fine motor (4 missions)

• Drawing. Trace a requested shape with your finger. Fine motor control plus visual attention.
• Maze. Navigate a small maze from start to finish.
• Snake. Classic Snake mini-game to a target score.
• Flappy Bird. Classic Flappy Bird mini-game to a target score.

Why varied missions

Different missions activate different brain systems. Photo and drawing missions activate visual processing; push-ups activate motor and cardiovascular systems; math activates working memory; mini-games activate hand-eye coordination. Varying them prevents adaptation — your brain doesn't learn to autopilot through one mission type.

Pick what matches you

Math-averse? Use the photo or push-up missions. Want a gentler wake? Shake or Snake. Need maximum challenge? Hard difficulty math, 20 push-ups, or Memory Sequence on hard.
