WakeySync

Sync your Mac's clock to a Soundcore Wakey alarm clock — the missing macOS companion app.

The Soundcore Wakey (Anker A3300) auto-syncs its displayed time when you connect it to the iPhone Soundcore app. There is no equivalent on macOS, so the clock drifts and there is no built-in way to set it from a Mac. WakeySync is a small, free, open-source Mac app that does exactly that: one click and your Wakey shows the right time.

Unofficial. Not affiliated with Anker or Soundcore. See TRADEMARKS.md.

Features

• One-click "Sync current time" from a tiny native macOS window
• Set a specific time manually (Advanced)
• Works over Bluetooth LE — no pairing required, no extra software
• No account, no cloud, no telemetry by default
• Open source, MIT licensed

Requirements

• macOS 13 (Ventura) or later
• Bluetooth enabled on your Mac
• A Soundcore Wakey (Anker model A3300) powered on and within Bluetooth range

Install

Option A — Download the prebuilt app (easiest)

1. Grab the latest WakeySync.app.zip from the Releases page.
2. Unzip it and drag WakeySync.app into /Applications.
3. First launch: right-click the app and choose Open to bypass Gatekeeper (the app is not yet notarized).
4. Approve the Bluetooth permission prompt.

Option B — Build from source

git clone https://github.com/mthnmhn/wakeysync.git
cd wakeysync
./scripts/run_app.sh

This builds the app into WakeySync.app and opens it.

Use

1. Make sure the Wakey is powered on and near the Mac.
2. Open WakeySync and click Sync current time.
3. The app scans for the Wakey, sends the time-sync command, and reports success.

If macOS asks for Bluetooth access, click Allow. If access was denied earlier, enable it in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth.

How it works

The iPhone Soundcore app sends a Bluetooth LE command (0x8101) carrying the current local time to a specific GATT characteristic on the Wakey. WakeySync replays that same command from the Mac.

• docs/PLAN.md — original plan and approach

CLI (advanced)

The repo also ships a small CLI, wakeyctl, used during development for packet building and BLE diagnostics:

swift build

See wakeyctl help for the full command list.

Privacy

WakeySync does not collect any data by default. See PRIVACY.md for details. If opt-in usage analytics are added in a future release, they will be clearly disclosed and disabled by default until explicitly enabled.

Contributing

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome — especially reports from different Wakey firmware versions. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
