Wake Info is a jailbreak tweak that can speak customized status reports every time you dismiss or snooze an iOS alarm. There’s nothing like a robot voice telling you how many unread emails are waiting to get you out of bed in the morning. The tweak will read up to three informational messages including real data.
Once installed, under Settings -> Wake Info different messages can be set to play depending on whether the alarm is dismissed or snoozed. Besides text, variables are entered to form the complete message, such as the date or time.
Other variables include day of the week, temperature, city, and the battery charge percentage. Wake Info can even give you the number of unread emails, messages or missed calls on your iOS device. For those who like to sleep with Airplane Mode switched on, the tweak includes a toggle to automatically restore radio operation when turning off the alarm.
Another interesting feature is the ability to automatically open a website in Safari, which is great for iOS users who tend to visit the same site every morning for news and info. Wake Info does not require Siri, and the voice can be set to any of the built-in text to speech dialects.
Wake Info is available on Cydia from the BigBoss repo free of charge. Check here for instructions on how to jailbreak iOS 6.x with evasi0n. You can also find out how to purchase and install Cydia tweaks with this guide.
