Dawnr: Alarm Clock You Walk To

What's New in Dawnr
1.0.13
September 4, 2026
Three things that were quietly wrong are now right. • The alarm escalates the way it was always meant to. A second layer of sound now genuinely stacks on top of the alarm and keeps climbing until you're up. It had been silent. • Starting a break lands you on the break screen instantly, with the time left and one button to end it early. No more waiting or reopening the app. • Breaks and timed focus blocks now end exactly when you set them to, even if Dawnr was in the background the whole time.
