SunWake
AppFounded JUN 2026
SunWake is a mobile alarm app you can't snooze: the alarm only stops when you complete a real wake-up challenge — scanning a specific object, solving a math problem, and more. Fully built and working product with a clean brand and the sunwake.app domain. It's pre-launch with no active user base yet — I'm selling because I'm moving on to another project, so this is a chance to pick up a finished product and run the launch yourself.
The 30-second read
- Asking $3K for a mobile app throwing off roughly $84 in profit per year — full payback in about 35.7 years if today's numbers hold.
- Runs at $7 MRR with a 100% margin — meaning most of the top-line drops through as owner earnings once hosting and tools are paid.
- Priced at 3.1× revenue multiple — in the normal range for a small SaaS.

Deal shape
This is a under $10K micro-deal in the mobile app category with a slower payback (35.7 years) — the case here is growth, not immediate ROI and unusually clean margins (100%), which is what you expect from a code-first, low-support product.

What to check before buying SunWake
- FlagShort operating historyThe business was founded 3 months ago. Recurring revenue at that age is impressive but unproven — retention curves haven't had time to settle.
- WatchLow ARPU (~$4)Sub-$5 ARPU means high churn sensitivity and heavy support load per dollar. Fine, but plan for it.
- CheckVerify Stripe / payment providerEvery dollar of claimed revenue should be visible in the connected payment dashboard on a screen-share. Don't rely on screenshots alone.
