## What is ToneWake?

ToneWake lets you set your own recorded sounds as iOS alarms.

■ Key Features
- Record any sound and use it as an alarm tone
- Manage multiple alarms (time-of-day and specific dates)
- Choose how to dismiss the alarm from 4 modes:
   - Tap to dismiss
   - Solve a simple math problem
   - Shake your device 10 times
   - Type a specific text string
- Share recorded sounds as files (AirDrop / Mail / etc.)
- Privacy-first: no location, no network telemetry

■ Perfect for
- Waking to your pet's, family's or your own voice
- Using a snippet of your favorite song
- Anyone tired of stock alarm tones
- Users who want highly customizable alarms

■ About Ads
ToneWake is free with a small banner ad at the bottom of the alarm list.
A one-time purchase removes all ads permanently. After purchase, you can use "Restore Purchases" on any device with your Apple ID.

■ Notes on Usage
- The app plays silent audio in the background to keep alarms looping. Battery use may be slightly higher than usual.
- Force-quitting the app (swiping up from the App Switcher) may prevent alarms from sounding.
- The app requires notification and microphone permissions (for displaying alarms and recording).


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-13

What's New in Version 1.3

[Improved sound library saving]
Previously, creating a sound with the same name would overwrite the existing one without asking. Now, if a sound with the same name exists, you can choose to overwrite it or save it under a different name — and enter the new name right there.

Plus minor refinements.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-11

What's New in Version 1.2

[Smarter hook detection]
Tap once to auto-detect the hook, then tap again to cycle through alternatives (repeated section, loudest, build-up, first half, second half). Handy when the first result isn't quite what you wanted.

[Preview the ending]
Preview just the last 3/5/10 seconds of your trimmed clip, so you don't have to replay long tracks from the start.

[Skip specific dates]
For repeating alarms, you can now disable specific dates (such as holidays) without changing the weekday settings. Multiple dates are supported.

[Backup]
Export your alarm settings, alarm sounds, and sound library to a single file, and restore them anytime. Perfect for switching devices or reinstalling.

Plus minor refinements.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-07
