Instead of the tone you have snoozed a thousand times, you wake up to a song you actually chose, from the music library you already listen to every day. - Wake up to your own music from Spotify, Apple Music, or a built-in iOS tone - Rings through silent mode, through Focus, even after you force-quit the app - A free Spotify account is enough. No subscription needed - No account, no ads, nothing to sign up for [Download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wakeify-music-alarm-clock/id6775059385) [See how it works](https://wakeify.app/#how) Free, no ads, no sign-up. Works with a free Spotify account. [Read the FAQ](https://wakeify.app/faq). - Spotify - Apple Music - Built-in iOS tones ## How do I choose the song my alarm plays? Open an alarm in Wakeify, tap the Sound row, and search Apple Music, Spotify or the built-in iOS tones. Pick a song, an album, an artist or a playlist. For anything other than a single song, Wakeify picks one track from your selection, and picks a different one the next time you save the alarm. Wakeify searches the **full Apple Music and Spotify catalogues** from inside the app, so a track does not have to be in your library first. Tap the play button next to any result to hear exactly what your alarm will sound like before you commit to it. Prefer something neutral? The **Tones** tab has the built-in iOS alarm sounds, and it works with no music account connected at all. ## Does Wakeify fade the music in instead of blasting it? Yes. Every music alarm in Wakeify rises from silence over five seconds, so you wake up to the song instead of being hit by it. Full Song mode is the one exception: a Full Song alarm starts at your ringer volume. The fade is a detail, not the pitch. The pitch is what plays: a track you picked yourself, quiet at first so the song is what registers rather than the volume, and it keeps going until you get up and stop it. More on the trade-offs in [Full Song mode](https://wakeify.app/support#full-song). 6:30AM Your song, not a ringtone · Volume from zero · Snooze 1 to 30 minutes ## Will the alarm still ring if Wakeify is closed? Yes. Your alarm still rings through silent mode and through a sleep Focus, even after you force-quit the app. You do not have to keep Wakeify open overnight, and you do not have to leave the ringer on. Once the alarm is saved it rings whether or not Wakeify is running, whether or not Spotify is open, and whether or not you are online that morning. Nothing to leave running, nothing to remember at bedtime, no ringer switch to check. Full troubleshooting: [reliability and permissions](https://wakeify.app/support#reliability). ## Is Wakeify hard to set up? No. Wakeify uses the same time wheel, the same repeat days and the same list of toggles as the Clock app already on your iPhone. The only new row is the one where you choose a song. Setting your first music alarm takes about a minute. Label your alarms, set snooze anywhere from one to thirty minutes, switch to a 24-hour clock, and repeat on whichever days you like. Wakeify runs on iPhone and iPad, in dark mode and light, and uses a sidebar layout on iPad rather than a stretched phone screen. ## How do I set a Spotify song as my iPhone alarm? Install Wakeify from the App Store, connect Spotify or Apple Music, add an alarm, then tap the Sound row and search for a track. Save it, and your iPhone rings with that song from the next alarm on. The whole thing takes about a minute. ### Install Wakeify from the App Store Wakeify is free and runs on both iPhone and iPad. ### Connect Spotify or Apple Music Sign in to Spotify, allow Apple Music, or skip both and use the built-in iOS tones. A free Spotify account is enough. ### Add an alarm and pick a song Set the time and repeat days as usual, then open the Sound row and search for whatever you want to hear at 6:30 in the morning. ### Save the alarm Tap Save. From that moment on your iPhone rings with your song, through silent mode and through Focus. ## Wakeify facts and requirements - **Name**: Wakeify: Music Alarm Clock - **Platform**: iPhone and iPad.

Install Wakeify from the App Store, connect your Spotify account, then add an alarm and tap the Sound row to search Spotify for a track. Pick it, save the alarm, and that song is what your iPhone plays at your wake-up time. ### Can you set a song as your alarm on iPhone? Yes. A music alarm app such as Wakeify lets you set any song, album, artist or playlist from Spotify or Apple Music as the alarm sound. Pick it in the app, save the alarm, and that is what your iPhone plays at your wake-up time. ### Is there an app that plays Spotify as an alarm on iPhone? Yes. Wakeify is a free iPhone app that plays a Spotify track as your alarm. Connect Spotify, search the catalogue inside Wakeify, and pick any song, album, artist or playlist. A free Spotify account is enough, and the alarm rings even with Spotify closed and your phone offline. ### How do I use Apple Music as an alarm clock on iPhone? Open Wakeify, allow Apple Music access, add an alarm, and tap the Sound row to search the Apple Music catalogue. Wakeify sets the track as your alarm sound without adding it to your library. Full Song mode plays the complete track instead, and needs an Apple Music subscription. ### What should I look for in a music alarm clock app for iPhone? Check three things: whether the alarm still fires when the app is force-quit, whether it supports the music service you actually use, and whether it charges a subscription. Wakeify covers Spotify and Apple Music, is free with no ads, and rings through silent mode and Focus. ### Can I wake up to my own playlist instead of one song? Yes. Wakeify accepts a song, an album, an artist or a playlist as the alarm sound. For anything other than a single song, Wakeify picks one track from your selection, and saving the alarm again picks a different one, so the same chorus does not wake you every morning. ## Spotify, Apple Music and what actually plays ### Why does my Spotify alarm play a short excerpt? A Spotify alarm plays a short excerpt of your track, looping with a smooth fade until you stop it, so it never runs out before you are up. If you want the complete track instead, Full Song mode plays a whole Apple Music song and needs an Apple Music subscription. ### Can an iPhone alarm play a full song instead of a ringtone? Yes, with limits. Wakeify's Full Song mode plays a complete Apple Music track at your alarm time, and it needs an Apple Music subscription, an internet connection, and Wakeify still running in the background. Every other alarm plays a short excerpt that loops until you stop it. ### Do I need Spotify Premium to use Wakeify? No. A Spotify alarm works with a free Spotify account, and so does searching Spotify inside Wakeify. There is nothing to subscribe to. Only Full Song mode, which plays the complete track, needs a subscription, and that mode is offered on Apple Music. ### Which music services does Wakeify work with? Wakeify works with Apple Music, Spotify and the built-in iOS alarm tones. Connect one service, both, or neither, because the tones need no account at all. Wakeify searches the full Apple Music and Spotify catalogues from inside the app, so a track does not have to be in your library. ### Does Wakeify need an internet connection to ring? No. A normal Wakeify alarm rings in airplane mode. You need a connection while you are searching for music and saving the alarm, and after that the alarm is self-contained. Only Full Song mode, which plays the complete track, needs a connection at wake-up time. ## Reliability, silent mode and Focus ### Will my Wakeify alarm still go off if the app is closed? Yes. Your song still plays even if you force-quit Wakeify the night before. The alarm rings whether or not Wakeify is running, whether or not Spotify is open, and whether or not you are online, and it sounds through silent mode and through a sleep Focus. ### Does Wakeify break through silent mode and Focus? Yes to both. A Wakeify alarm sounds through silent mode and through a sleep Focus, the same way your iPhone's own alarms do. You do not have to leave the ringer on or keep Wakeify open overnight, and muting the phone at bedtime does not mute the morning. ### My Wakeify alarm did not go off. What should I check? Check that the alarm's toggle is on, that Wakeify has alarm permission in iOS Settings, that Wakeify is allowed in your sleep Focus, and that the ringer volume is up, because alarms use ringer volume, not media volume. Re-saving the alarm fixes most one-off oddities. ### Does Wakeify drain the battery overnight? A little. While an alarm is switched on and Wakeify is still open in the background, it uses a small amount of power overnight. If that matters to you, force-quit Wakeify before bed. The alarm still rings with your song, so nothing is lost by closing the app. ## Heavy sleepers and dismissing the alarm ### Is Wakeify a good alarm for people who sleep through their alarm? Partly. A Wakeify alarm sounds through silent mode and Focus and keeps going until you stop it, even with the app force-quit. The first seconds are deliberately quiet, though, so heavy sleepers should pick a track with a loud opening or a built-in tone, and keep snooze on. ### Does Wakeify make you solve puzzles to turn the alarm off? No. Wakeify has no maths problems, no puzzles, no photo missions and no shake-to-dismiss. Stopping a Wakeify alarm takes one tap. If the only thing that gets you out of bed is a forced task, a mission-style alarm app is a better fit than Wakeify. ## Price, privacy and devices ### How much does Wakeify cost? Wakeify is free. Every feature is unlocked: unlimited alarms, repeating schedules, both music services and Full Song mode. There is no paywall in the app, no subscription prompt and no advertising. A Spotify alarm needs nothing more than a free Spotify account. ### Does Wakeify need an account, and what data does it collect? Wakeify has no account and no server of its own. Your alarms, the audio they use and your preferences stay on your device. The only data that leaves your iPhone is anonymous usage and crash statistics, never song names or alarm times, and you can switch those off in Settings. ### Which devices and iOS versions does Wakeify run on? Wakeify runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 26 or later, and uses a sidebar layout on iPad rather than a stretched phone screen. Every alarm sounds through silent mode and Focus. There is no Android version of Wakeify. ### Can I change the snooze length in Wakeify? Yes. Every Wakeify alarm has its own snooze switch and a snooze length from 1 to 30 minutes, defaulting to 9. The built-in iOS Clock app tops out at 15 minutes, so Wakeify gives you twice the range on a groggy morning. ### What languages is Wakeify available in? Wakeify is translated into English, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Turkish and Hindi. To change the one it shows, open Wakeify's Settings, then Display, then Language, and pick from the list. ### Who makes Wakeify? Wakeify is made by Yuval Fatal, an independent developer, and is published on the App Store under his name. Wakeify is not affiliated with Apple or Spotify. Support email goes straight to the developer at support@wakeify.app, so nothing sits in a ticket queue. ## Question not answered here? [Wakeify support](https://wakeify.app/support) has the longer troubleshooting answers, or write to the developer directly. Alarm problems get answered first. [Email support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app?subject=Wakeify%20question) ============================================================================== PAGE: Wakeify Support URL: https://wakeify.app/support ============================================================================== # Wakeify support Wakeify is a free music alarm clock app for iPhone and iPad that wakes you up to any song, album, artist or playlist from Spotify or Apple Music. This page is troubleshooting: what to check when something has gone wrong, written from how Wakeify actually behaves including the parts with trade-offs. For short answers to general questions, read the [Wakeify FAQ](https://wakeify.app/faq) instead. Last updated 2 August 2026. [Email support](mailto:support@wakeify.app?subject=Wakeify%20support) For a bug report, say what you expected and what happened instead, and include your iPhone model. It saves a round trip. ## Getting started ### Which music services does Wakeify work with? Wakeify works with Apple Music, Spotify and the built-in iOS alarm tones. Connect one service, both, or neither, because the tones need no account at all. Wakeify searches the full Apple Music and Spotify catalogues from inside the app, so a track does not have to be in your library. Connect a service from the first-run setup, or later in Wakeify → Settings → Music Services. ### Do I need Spotify Premium to use Wakeify? No. A Spotify alarm works with a free Spotify account, and so does searching Spotify inside Wakeify. There is nothing to subscribe to. Only Full Song mode, which plays the complete track, needs a subscription, and that mode is offered on Apple Music. So the only subscription that changes anything in Wakeify is an Apple Music one, and only for [Full Song mode](https://wakeify.app/support#full-song). ### How do I pick a song for a Wakeify alarm? Add or edit an alarm in Wakeify and tap the Sound row. Switch between the Apple Music, Spotify and Tones tabs at the top, search, and tap the orange play button on any row to hear what the alarm will sound like before you choose it. You can pick a **song, an album, an artist or a playlist**. For anything other than a single song, Wakeify picks one track from it, and saving the alarm again picks a different one, which is useful if you have started sleeping through a particular chorus. ### Can I use my own audio file as a Wakeify alarm? Not at the moment. Wakeify alarm sounds come from the Apple Music catalogue, the Spotify catalogue, or the built-in iOS tones. Importing a local audio file is a reasonable request, so if you want it, say so by email and it goes on the list. ## Music and playback ### What is the difference between a normal Wakeify alarm and Full Song mode? A normal Wakeify alarm plays a short excerpt of your track with a five-second fade-in, looping until you stop it. Full Song mode plays the entire Apple Music track instead, which needs a subscription, an internet connection, and Wakeify still running in the background. A normal alarm works with your music app closed, with no internet connection, and with [Wakeify itself force-quit](https://wakeify.app/support#app-closed). **Full Song mode** is the better experience when it works, and it has real conditions attached: - It needs an **active Apple Music subscription**. - Wakeify **and** the Music app have to still be open in the background. Force-quit either one and the alarm falls back to the short excerpt. - It needs an internet connection at wake-up time. - **There is no fade-in.** A Full Song alarm starts at your ringer volume instead of rising from silence. - Snooze still works, but on Wakeify's own screen rather than the usual alarm screen, and only if Snooze is switched on for that alarm. - It does not appear on Apple Watch. The toggle sits under the Sound row when you have chosen an Apple Music track, with the same warning printed beneath it. If you want an alarm you never have to think about, leave it off. If you want the whole song and you keep your apps open, turn it on. Spotify alarms always play the short excerpt, because the Full Song toggle is only offered for Apple Music. ### Why does my Wakeify alarm only play part of the song? Because a normal Wakeify alarm plays a short excerpt of your track rather than the whole thing, looping with a smooth fade until you stop it. It keeps going for as long as you need it to, and it works with no internet connection at all. That is the trade Wakeify makes: a shorter piece of the song in exchange for an alarm that always fires. In practice the loop sounds like the song continuing rather than stopping. [Full Song mode](https://wakeify.app/support#full-song) plays the whole Apple Music track instead, with the conditions listed above. ### Does Wakeify need an internet connection? No. A normal Wakeify alarm rings in airplane mode. You need a connection while you are searching for music and saving the alarm, and after that the alarm is self-contained. Only Full Song mode, which plays the complete track, needs a connection at wake-up time. ### Is Wakeify a good alarm clock for heavy sleepers? Partly. A Wakeify alarm sounds through silent mode and Focus and keeps going until you stop it, even with the app force-quit. The first seconds are deliberately quiet, though, so heavy sleepers should pick a track with a loud opening or a built-in tone, and keep snooze on. Wakeify has no puzzles, no maths problems and no shake-to-dismiss. If the only thing that gets you out of bed is being forced to scan a barcode in the bathroom, a mission-style alarm app will serve you better. ## Reliability and permissions ### Will my alarm still go off if I close the Wakeify app? Yes. Your song still plays even if you force-quit Wakeify the night before. The alarm rings whether or not Wakeify is running, whether or not Spotify is open, and whether or not you are online, and it sounds through silent mode and through a sleep Focus. Once you save an alarm, **closing the app cannot stop it**. That holds even if iOS quietly shuts Wakeify down overnight to reclaim memory, which it is entitled to do at any time. What you do lose by force-quitting is [Full Song mode](https://wakeify.app/support#full-song), which needs the app alive, and Wakeify's own in-app ringing screen. ### Why does Wakeify ask for permission to sound alarms? Because that permission is what lets a sound reach you through a locked phone. It is what allows your alarm to cut through silent mode and through a sleep Focus, exactly as your iPhone's own alarms do, and no alarm app can wake you without it. If you decline the prompt entirely, iOS has no way to make a noise at your alarm time. Wakeify cannot work around that, and nor can any other alarm app. If you tapped "Don't Allow" by reflex, you can fix it in **iOS Settings → Wakeify** by turning the permission back on. ### Why do I have to allow Wakeify through Focus or Do Not Disturb? A sleep Focus exists to silence your phone overnight, which is the exact window your alarm has to work in. Adding Wakeify to the Focus's allowed apps tells iOS that this one is not to be silenced. Wakeify walks you through it during setup, and it takes about thirty seconds to do later. 1. Open **iOS Settings → Focus**. 2. Pick the mode you sleep with (Sleep, Do Not Disturb, or your own). 3. Tap **Apps → Add App** and choose **Wakeify**. 4. Turn on **Time Sensitive Notifications**. A Wakeify alarm sounds through a Focus regardless. This step closes the remaining gap, and it is what lets Wakeify's own screens reach you if you use [Full Song mode](https://wakeify.app/support#full-song). ### My Wakeify alarm did not go off. What should I check? Check that the alarm's toggle is on, that Wakeify has alarm permission in iOS Settings, that Wakeify is allowed in your sleep Focus, and that the ringer volume is up, because alarms use ringer volume, not media volume. Re-saving the alarm fixes most one-off oddities. In order, the full checklist: 1. **Is the alarm actually on?** The toggle on its row should be green. A one-time alarm switches itself off after it fires. 2. **Permission.** iOS Settings → Wakeify → make sure Wakeify is allowed to sound alarms and alert you. 3. **Focus.** Add Wakeify to your sleep Focus as described above. 4. **Volume.** Alarms use the ringer volume. Turn off *Change with Buttons* in iOS Settings → Sounds & Haptics so a stray volume press during the day cannot silence the morning. 5. **Wrong sound?** Hearing the default tone usually means Wakeify could not use what you picked: choose a specific song rather than an artist or playlist, and save again. 6. **Re-save it.** Opening the alarm and tapping Save sets it up again from scratch, which clears most one-off problems. 7. **Time zone.** Alarms fire at the wall-clock time on the device. If you travelled overnight, the time moved with you. Still wrong? Email [support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app?subject=Wakeify%20alarm%20did%20not%20fire) with your iPhone model and what the alarm was set to. Alarm failures are the one bug class worth interrupting me for. ### Does Wakeify drain my battery overnight? A little. While an alarm is switched on and Wakeify is still open in the background, the app uses a small amount of power overnight so that it is ready at wake-up time. It is a small draw, but it is not nothing. **If overnight battery matters more to you than that, force-quit Wakeify before bed.** The alarm still rings with your song, so nothing is lost by closing the app. Turning Full Song off does not stop it on its own. Having an alarm switched on is what does. ## Privacy, accounts and data ### How do I disconnect Spotify or Apple Music from Wakeify? Open Wakeify, go to Settings, find the Music Services section and tap Disconnect next to the service. For Spotify that deletes the stored login straight away. For Apple Music you can also turn access off in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security, Media & Apple Music. To be thorough, remove Wakeify from your [Spotify apps page](https://www.spotify.com/account/apps/) as well. Existing alarms keep working, but you will not be able to search that service until you reconnect. ### How do I delete my Wakeify data? Delete the app. There is no Wakeify account and no Wakeify server, so everything Wakeify holds lives on your device: your alarms, their sounds, your preferences and your Spotify login all go when the app does. Nothing is left behind on a server somewhere. Before deleting you can disconnect Spotify and switch off Share Usage Analytics in Settings. The only data that ever leaves your phone is anonymous usage and crash statistics, and it is not linked to you, so there is no account of yours to erase. The full detail is in the [privacy policy](https://wakeify.app/privacy). ### How do I turn off usage analytics in Wakeify? Open Wakeify, go to Settings, then Privacy, and switch off Share Usage Analytics. It takes effect immediately, it stops the collection entirely rather than just the app's own recording, and nothing in Wakeify stops working when it is off. The choice is remembered. What is being collected when it is on: feature-usage counts and crash diagnostics with no song names, no alarm times and no personal data. [Every event is listed in the privacy policy](https://wakeify.app/privacy). ### Do I need to create a Wakeify account? No. There is no Wakeify sign-up, no password and no profile. The only sign-in anywhere in Wakeify is Spotify's own, and only if you choose to connect it. Apple Music uses the account already signed in on your iPhone. Wakeify never sees either password. ## About the app ### How much does Wakeify cost? Wakeify is free. Every feature is unlocked: unlimited alarms, repeating schedules, full Spotify and Apple Music search, and Full Song mode. There is no paywall in the Wakeify app, no subscription prompt, no advertising and no account to create. A Spotify alarm needs nothing more than a free Spotify account. Full Song mode is the only thing that depends on a subscription, an Apple Music one. ### How do I change the language Wakeify is displayed in? Open Wakeify, then Settings, then Display, then Language, and pick from the list. It changes immediately with no relaunch, and the System option hands the choice back to your phone. iOS Settings, then Wakeify, then Language does the same job from outside the app. Wakeify is translated into English, Spanish (Spain and Mexico), Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Turkish and Hindi. Anything Wakeify does not translate falls back to English. If a translation reads badly in your language, tell me the screen and the wording. That feedback is genuinely useful and quick to act on. ### Which devices does Wakeify run on? Wakeify runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 26 or later, and uses a sidebar layout on iPad rather than a stretched phone screen. Every alarm sounds through silent mode and Focus. There is no Android version of Wakeify. Wakeify is pure black on OLED at night and light during the day. ### Can I change the snooze length in Wakeify? Yes. Every Wakeify alarm has its own snooze switch and a Snooze Length picker from 1 to 30 minutes, defaulting to the traditional 9. In Full Song mode the Snooze button appears on Wakeify's own screen rather than the usual one, but the length you picked is what it uses. ### How do I report a bug or request a feature? Email support@wakeify.app. Wakeify is made by one person, so there is no ticket queue: messages go straight to the developer and get read. Say what you expected and what happened instead, and include your iPhone model. Alarm failures get answered first. For a feature request, describe the morning you are trying to fix rather than the feature you think you need; it usually leads somewhere better.

[Email support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app?subject=Wakeify%20support) ============================================================================== PAGE: Wakeify Privacy Policy URL: https://wakeify.app/privacy ============================================================================== # Wakeify Privacy Policy Wakeify is a free music alarm clock app for iPhone and iPad that wakes you up to any song, album, artist or playlist from Spotify or Apple Music. Last updated 2 August 2026 · Applies to the Wakeify app for iPhone and iPad, and to the website wakeify.app. The short version: Wakeify has no accounts and no server of its own. Your alarms, your chosen songs and your streaming logins stay on your device. The only thing that ever leaves it is anonymous usage and crash statistics, and there is a switch in the app's Settings that turns those off. Wakeify is made by **Yuval Fatal**, an independent developer. In this policy, "Wakeify", "the app", "we" and "I" all refer to that one person. If anything here is unclear, write to [support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app) and it will get answered. ## 1. No account, and no data of yours on our servers Wakeify does not ask you to register. There is no username, no password, no email address and no profile. We do not operate a backend that stores your content, and we never receive your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, location, health data or calendar. ## 2. What stays on your device All of the following is stored locally in the app's own container and is never uploaded to us: - **Your alarms**: times, repeat days, labels, snooze settings and which song is attached to each one. - **The sound each alarm uses**, so it can ring with no connection. It is private to this app. - **Your Spotify login token**. See the next section. - **App preferences**, such as the 24-hour clock switch, whether you have finished onboarding, and your analytics choice. - **A random install identifier**, a randomly generated value created the first time the app runs. It is not derived from your device or from you, it is not linked to any account, and it is never transmitted anywhere: it exists so the app can recognise its own storage. (Firebase keeps a separate identifier of its own, described in section 4.) Deleting the app removes all of it. Nothing is backed up to a Wakeify server, because there isn't one. ## 3. Connecting Spotify and Apple Music ### Spotify Connecting Spotify opens Spotify's own login page in a secure system browser sheet. Wakeify never sees your Spotify password. Spotify returns an access token and a refresh token, which Wakeify stores in the **iOS Keychain** (the encrypted, hardware-protected store iOS provides for secrets) as a private item readable only by this app, and only after the device has been unlocked at least once since it was powered on. On the rare build where iOS refuses the Keychain, they fall back to a file in the app's own container written with full file protection, so it is encrypted at rest and unreadable while the device is locked. Those tokens are sent only to Spotify's own servers, and never to us or to anyone else. Tapping **Disconnect** in Wakeify's Settings deletes them from the Keychain immediately. ### Apple Music Apple Music access is handled by Apple, through iOS's own permission prompt. Wakeify does not store an Apple Music credential of any kind; iOS holds the authorisation and Wakeify only asks whether it has been granted. You can revoke it at any time in **iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Media & Apple Music**. ### Searching What you type into the search field goes to whichever service's tab you are on, Apple Music to Apple and Spotify to Spotify, because that is the only way to get results back. It is not sent to us, and it is not recorded in analytics. ### Setting an alarm Saving an alarm sends the title and artist of the item you picked to Apple, and nothing else: no identifier, no account, no device information beyond what any ordinary web request carries. When the picker has nothing to show yet it also asks Apple for its public "most played" charts, which takes only your **storefront country** from the device region, and nothing about you. ## 4. Analytics in the app Wakeify uses **Google Analytics for Firebase** (Firebase Analytics) to understand which features get used and whether the app is crashing. This is the only third-party analytics tool in the app, and none of it is linked to an identity, because there is no identity to link it to. Apple's App Store privacy label for Wakeify declares **Usage Data** under **Data Not Linked to You**; the app also sends the crash and performance diagnostics listed below, which Apple classes as *Diagnostics*. ### What is sent An event name plus a handful of non-identifying parameters. The complete list: | Event | Sent when | Parameters | |---|---|---| | app_opened | The app is launched or returns to the foreground | none | | onboarding_completed | You finish the first-run setup | none | | service_connected; service_disconnected | You connect or disconnect a music service | which service (Apple Music or Spotify) | | alarm_created; alarm_edited; alarm_deleted; alarm_enabled_changed; alarm_fired | You add, change, delete or toggle an alarm, or one goes off | which service the sound came from; whether Full Song, repeat and snooze are on; whether the alarm is enabled | | sound_previewed | You tap play to hear a result | the kind of item (song, album, artist or playlist) | | full_song_armed | A Full Song alarm is armed | which service | | language_changed | You pick a display language in Settings | the language code you chose (for example `fr-FR`) | | wake_succeeded | You tap Stop on a ringing alarm, the signal that a wake-up actually worked | how many times that has now happened on this install (a running count, no dates) | | review_prompt_shown | The "rate Wakeify" prompt is shown | none | | paywall_shown; paywall_dismissed; purchase_started; purchase_completed; purchase_failed; purchases_restored | Purchase screens. Currently dormant: the app is free and shows no paywall | which screen it opened from; the App Store product identifier; an error reason | | metrics_report | iOS delivers its daily performance summary | peak memory in megabytes; number of foreground launches | | diagnostic_crash; diagnostic_hang; diagnostic_cpu_exception; diagnostic_disk_write_exception | iOS reports a crash, freeze or resource problem | exception type, signal and termination reason; duration in seconds; CPU seconds; megabytes written | ### What Firebase adds by itself Firebase attaches a small amount of standard context to every event, and records a few events of its own (a first open, a session start, an app update). We do not choose this and cannot switch individual pieces off, only the whole thing, with the switch described below. It is: - the **device model**, the **iOS version** and the **Wakeify version**; - the device **language and region**; - an **approximate location**, usually no finer than a city, that Google derives from the IP address the request arrived on. Wakeify never asks iOS for your location and has no location permission; - a randomly generated **app instance identifier**, plus Apple's per-vendor device identifier (IDFV), so separate events can be recognised as coming from the same copy of the app. ### What is never sent Song titles, artist names, album or playlist names, your music library, your search terms, your alarm times, your alarm labels, your Spotify or Apple ID, your name, your email address, your contacts, your precise location, your photos, and the contents of anything you type. ### Identifiers, and what is not one The app instance identifier is not your Apple ID, is not tied to a name or an email address, and is reset if you delete and reinstall the app. Wakeify shows **no ads** and contains **no ad network**; it never requests the advertising identifier (IDFA), never shows an App Tracking Transparency prompt, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Because it never asks for tracking permission, iOS keeps the IDFA unreadable to it regardless. ### Turning it off Open Wakeify → **Settings** → **Privacy** and switch **Share Usage Analytics** off. That stops the app from recording events and also disables Firebase's own collection. It takes effect immediately and the setting persists. Nothing in the app stops working when you turn it off. ## 5. Analytics on this website wakeify.app uses **Google Analytics 4** (the web side of the same Firebase project) to count visits and to see which download link people use. It is deliberately configured to be as minimal as a hosted analytics tool can be: - IP addresses are not stored. Google Analytics 4 uses the IP only to work out a coarse location and then discards it, and the tag additionally sets `anonymize_ip`. - Google Signals and advertising personalisation are switched off, so this site feeds no ad audiences. - If your browser sends **Do Not Track** or **Global Privacy Control**, the analytics script is never loaded and nothing at all is recorded. - Beyond the automatic page view, the only events recorded are: which App Store button was clicked (with the part of the page it sits in), which FAQ question was opened, and which outbound link was followed, that last one carrying the link's address, its host, and the first 80 characters of its visible text. - Google Analytics also records the usual page-view context of any web analytics: the page address and title, the referring page, your browser and operating system, your screen size and language, and a coarse location from the IP. Being honest about cookies: when it does run, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (names beginning `_ga`) in your browser so that repeat visits are not counted twice. There are no advertising cookies, no third-party tracking pixels, no social widgets and no embedded fonts or scripts from anyone other than Google Analytics. You can block or clear these cookies in your browser at any time without affecting the site. ## 6. Purchases Wakeify is currently free and presents no purchase screen. If in-app purchases return, they are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Apple does not give us your payment details, billing address or Apple ID. The app only ever learns whether a purchase is active, and it stores that answer on your device. ## 7. Other companies whose services the app touches When you use those parts of Wakeify, your data is handled by these companies under their own privacy policies, which we do not control: - **Apple**: App Store distribution, Apple Music, the Apple services described in section 3, and crash and performance diagnostics. [Apple Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/) - **Spotify**: only if you choose to connect it. [Spotify Privacy Policy](https://www.spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy/) - **Google**: Firebase Analytics in the app and Google Analytics on this site. [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) - **Firebase Hosting** serves this website; its server logs may briefly record request data such as IP address, as any web server does. These providers operate globally, so the anonymous statistics described above may be processed on servers outside your country, including in the United States. ## 8. How long anything is kept Data on your device stays until you delete it or delete the app. Anonymous analytics events are retained by Google under the retention period configured for the Firebase project, after which they are deleted automatically. There is no separate archive anywhere else. ## 9. Your choices and your rights - **Stop analytics**: the Settings switch in the app; Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser for the website. - **Delete a music connection**: Settings → Music Services → Disconnect. You can also revoke Wakeify from your [Spotify apps page](https://www.spotify.com/account/apps/) and in iOS Settings for Apple Music. - **Delete everything**: delete the app. Alarms, their sounds, tokens and preferences go with it. - **Access, correction, erasure, portability, objection**: if you are in the EU, the UK, California or another region with data rights, you can exercise them by writing to [support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app). In practice there is usually nothing to hand over: the analytics data is not linked to you, so it cannot be searched for "your" records. Where that is the case we will say so plainly rather than pretend otherwise. Where the GDPR applies, the lawful basis for the anonymous usage statistics is legitimate interest (keeping a small app working and knowing which features are worth maintaining) and you can object to it at any time with the switch in Settings. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act, and we have never done so. ## 10. Children Wakeify is a general-audience alarm clock. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact [support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app) and it will be removed. ## 11. Security Streaming tokens are held in the iOS Keychain. Network requests use HTTPS. Because there is no Wakeify account and no Wakeify server, there is no central database of users to breach. The realistic risk to your data is physical access to an unlocked device, so use a passcode. ## 12. Changes to this policy If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the date at the top will change and the app's release notes will mention it. Material changes will not be applied retroactively to data already collected. ## 13. Contact Yuval Fatal, [support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app) Questions about the app itself are answered on the [support page](https://wakeify.app/support). ============================================================================== PAGE: Wakeify Terms of Service URL: https://wakeify.app/terms ============================================================================== # Wakeify Terms of Service Wakeify is a free music alarm clock app for iPhone and iPad that wakes you up to any song, album, artist or playlist from Spotify or Apple Music. Last updated 2 August 2026 · Applies to the Wakeify app for iPhone and iPad, and to the website wakeify.app. The part that matters most: **Wakeify is an alarm clock app, not a life-safety device.** Phones run out of battery, get left on aeroplane mode and occasionally have bad nights. If missing a wake-up would be genuinely serious, set a second, independent alarm. Wakeify is made and published by **Yuval Fatal**, an independent developer ("we", "us"). By downloading or using Wakeify, or by using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app. ## 1. Your licence to use Wakeify Wakeify is licensed to you, not sold. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own personal use, in line with the App Store Terms of Service. Because Wakeify is distributed through Apple's App Store, Apple's [Licensed Application End User License Agreement](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) also applies to your copy. Where these terms and Apple's standard EULA conflict for App Store distribution, Apple's EULA governs; these terms supplement it with the things specific to Wakeify. You agree not to: - copy, sell, rent, sub-licence or redistribute the app; - reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except where the law expressly permits that despite this restriction; - use it to break the law, or to breach the terms of Apple Music, Spotify or any other service it connects to; - circumvent or interfere with the security of the app, the website, or the services they talk to. ## 2. What Wakeify does and does not promise Wakeify schedules alarms that sound through silent mode and through Focus. It still depends on your device, your settings and your operating system, and an alarm can fail to sound for reasons entirely outside our control, including but not limited to: - a discharged, powered-off or restarting device; - alarm or Focus permissions that were declined or later revoked; - ringer volume turned down, or a Focus mode configured to silence the app; - iOS terminating background processes, or an operating-system update changing behaviour; - time-zone or clock changes on the device; - for Full Song mode specifically: no network, a lapsed Apple Music subscription, or the music app being closed. **Do not rely on Wakeify alone where missing an alarm would be dangerous or seriously costly**: medication schedules, medical appointments, shift work with safety implications, flights. Use a second alarm. We are not liable for anything that follows from a missed wake-up. ## 3. Music services and content Wakeify does not host, own or supply any music. It lets you choose something from **Apple Music** or **Spotify**, or one of the alarm tones provided by iOS. Your use of each service remains subject to that company's own terms and to whatever subscription you hold with them. Wakeify is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or certified by Apple Inc. or Spotify AB. Catalogue availability, playback rights and account rules are set by those services and can change without notice; if a track stops being available, the alarm falls back to a default tone. A Spotify alarm works with a free Spotify account. Full Song mode, which plays the complete track, requires an active Apple Music subscription, and you are responsible for holding whatever accounts a given feature needs. ## 4. Price, purchases and refunds Wakeify is currently **free**, with every feature unlocked, and the app presents no purchase screen. We may introduce paid features in a future version. If we do: - any purchase you have already made remains valid; - all payments are processed by Apple through the App Store, never by us directly; - subscriptions renew and cancel through your Apple account settings, on Apple's terms; - refunds are handled by Apple under its own policy. We cannot issue them, though we are happy to support a request you make to Apple. ## 5. Changes to the app Wakeify is actively developed. Features may be added, changed or removed, and the minimum iOS version Wakeify requires may rise. We are not obliged to keep any particular feature available indefinitely. Significant changes will be described in the App Store release notes. ## 6. This website wakeify.app is provided for information and support. Its content is offered in good faith and may be updated at any time. Links to other sites are provided for convenience and imply no endorsement, and we are not responsible for their content. ## 7. Intellectual property The Wakeify name, app icon, artwork, interface design, copy and source code belong to Yuval Fatal and are protected by copyright and trademark law. Nothing in these terms transfers any of it to you. Third-party names and logos shown in the app or on this site (Apple, Apple Music, App Store, iPhone, iPad, Spotify) belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the services Wakeify works with. ## 8. Privacy The [privacy policy](https://wakeify.app/privacy) explains exactly what the app collects, which is very little, and how to switch it off. It forms part of these terms. ## 9. Disclaimer of warranties To the fullest extent the law allows, Wakeify and this website are provided **"as is" and "as available"**, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that every alarm will sound. ## 10. Limitation of liability To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, income, data, opportunity, sleep or goodwill arising out of your use of, or inability to use, Wakeify, including a missed alarm. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the app in the twelve months before the claim, or ten US dollars. ## 11. Your rights as a consumer Nothing in these terms removes or limits any right you have under the mandatory consumer protection law of the country where you live. If a provision here is unenforceable in your jurisdiction, it is severed and the rest continues to apply. ## 12. Age Wakeify is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use it with a parent's or guardian's permission. ## 13. Ending the agreement You can end this agreement at any time by deleting the app. We may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms. Sections 7, 9, 10 and 11 survive the end of the agreement. ## 14. Changes to these terms These terms may change as the app changes. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised, and continuing to use Wakeify after a revision means you accept it. Material changes will not be applied retroactively. ## 15. Contact Yuval Fatal, [support@wakeify.app](mailto:support@wakeify.app) Questions about using the app are usually answered faster on the [support page](https://wakeify.app/support). ============================================================================== END OF SITE ==============================================================================
