## What is Tagdawn?

Meet the alarm you finish on your feet.

Place a compatible NFC sticker across the room and scan it to complete your alarm in Tagdawn. Bring your own tag: common NFC stickers are inexpensive, and no Tagdawn-branded accessory is required.

Tagdawn uses iPhone’s system alarm experience, including alerts through Silent mode and Focus. iPhone always provides Stop. Without a tag, Stop ends the alarm normally. With a tag setup, Stop ends the current alarm and Tagdawn asks iPhone for a fresh one after your chosen Ring again wait until the tag ritual is complete. Choose As soon as possible or clear seconds-and-minutes presets; exact timing can vary.

Build your wake-up setup:
• Choose one or more tags, their order, and the number of taps per tag.
• Keep an optional private backup QR code for an eligible alarm.
• Run an isolated test alarm with the same tag and Ring again setup.
• Protect alarm changes with Face ID, Touch ID, a passcode, or the physical tag.
• Choose a Tagdawn tone, the iPhone alarm sound, or a compatible imported sound.

Keep the rest of your day together:
• Track check-offs, counts, amounts, limits, and habits with no daily goal.
• Add several planned times with a normal reminder or loud alarm.
• Use deliberate tag shortcuts for habit entries while Tagdawn is open.
• Log earlier entries with their real date and time.
• Review separate Wake and Habit charts.
• Use timers, a stopwatch, widgets, and eligible Lock Screen or Dynamic Island activities.

Tag scans begin only while Tagdawn is open after you choose Scan. Tagdawn works alongside Clock; it does not replace it.

Your alarm, tag, Wake, Habit, timer, and stopwatch records stay on your devices. No account, subscription, ads, or tracking.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-10

Bug fixes for Ring again.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-08

Fixes for tag-protected alarms.

• Scanning your tag now finishes properly. The "alarm cleanup didn't finish" message is gone.
• Alarms that could ring twice on the same morning now ring once.
• Stop reliably sets up the next ring again.
• After you scan, the next day's alarm sets up its follow-ups straight away, so an alarm you silence with the volume buttons still comes back.
• Shorter, plainer About text in Settings.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-07

New to tags? Onboarding now explains which inexpensive NFC stickers work and lets you start without one.

If alarm access is ever turned off in iPhone Settings, Tagdawn now says so on the Alarms tab and in the widget, so a silent morning can't sneak up on you.

Backup codes are safer. Viewing a protected tag's code asks for Face ID, and you can make a new code to retire an old one.

Faster Insights, clearer error messages, and many small fixes.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-06

Stopping an alarm now brings the next ring much sooner: about 5 to 15 seconds on the shortest setting, or exactly the delay you choose.

Also in this update:
• Silencing an alarm with the volume buttons no longer defeats it. It keeps nudging you with vibrations, and the alarm rings out loud again after a short time.
• Fixed: an alarm turned off the night before could still ring in the morning.
• The app stays smooth while an alarm is ringing, and turning an alarm off is instant.
• The ringing screen now shows your own alarm label and has a close button.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-02

Habit history is now fully manageable.

Tap any recent day or entry to add a missing log, change an existing value, record zero, or delete an entry. This update also improves the clarity and reliability of habit logging.
