## What is WarmWake?

Before you fall asleep, leave a message for your tomorrow self.  
WarmWake is a new kind of alarm app where yesterday’s you gently wakes up today’s you.

Your goals for tomorrow, a word of encouragement, or a small reminder to be kind to yourself.  
In the morning, the voice message you recorded the night before plays together with a soft alarm sound.

Not a loud, jarring alarm —  
but a morning that starts with you cheering yourself on.

Start your day in a warmer, more meaningful way with WarmWake.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### v2.1.2 — 2026-09-10

WarmWake 2.1.2 improves voice alarms and snooze reliability.

[What's New]

Voice Alarms While the App Is Closed
On iOS 26 and later, system alarms can play your selected tone and recording while the app is closed and the phone is locked. Enable alarm access when prompted. Recordings up to 120 seconds play in full, with Snooze and Stop available on the system alarm.

Quick Alarm From an Empty Home Screen
You can create a Quick Alarm before saving your first regular alarm.

[Improvements]

Clearer Snooze Timing
Snooze stops the current sound first and shows the countdown to the actual next ring time. Alarm edits and deletions also remain in effect during Wake Check.

Faster Startup
The startup screen no longer adds an unnecessary wait.

[Bug Fixes]

• Opening the alarm screen no longer causes overlapping voices.
• Closing one ringing alarm preserves the remaining alarm's sound and screen state.
• Improved recovery and error messages when an alarm cannot be scheduled.
• Improved voice-message deletion, recording cleanup, and theme setting storage.

Thank you for using WarmWake.

### v2.1.1 — 2026-08-16

WarmWake 2.1.1 focuses on making sure an alarm you set is an alarm that rings.

[Bug Fixes]

Alarms That Never Registered
When the system refused to schedule an alarm, it could still appear switched on while nothing was actually set. The switch now reverts and tells you the alarm could not be scheduled.

Alarms After Granting Permission
Enabled alarms are now scheduled again automatically as soon as alarm permissions are granted, and permissions are re-checked whenever you return to the app.

Voice Message Import
Importing a voice message no longer does nothing when more than one file is picked. The picker now accepts a single recording.

[Improvements]

More Dependable Wake Check
Wake Check is now all or nothing. If its follow-up alarm cannot be scheduled, the whole check is cancelled instead of leaving a reminder with no alarm behind it, and a check that has been replaced no longer interferes with the newer alarm.

Recovery After Interruptions
Alarm scheduling interrupted by an app restart is retried, and overlapping recovery attempts no longer run over each other.

Thank you for using WarmWake.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-24

Introducing WarmWake 2.1.

[What's New]

Alarm Recovery
Opening WarmWake from an alarm notification or Live Activity now restores the correct alarm screen, even after the app restarts.

Automatic Voice Message Retention
Your selected retention period is now applied automatically while recordings linked to alarms stay protected.

[Improvements]

More Reliable Snooze and Dismissal
Snooze and dismissal actions now recover more consistently across notification actions, delayed events, and app restarts.

Accessible Alarm Editing
Alarm presets and repeat-day controls now have larger tap targets and clearer selection announcements.

[Bug Fixes]

• Fixed purchase restoration timeouts being treated as missing entitlements
• Added a retry action when the sound catalog fails to load
• Fixed cleanup removing voice messages that are still linked to alarms

Thank you for using WarmWake.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-05-25

Introducing WarmWake 2.0.

[What's New]

Wake-Check System
After your alarm fires, WarmWake now asks you to confirm you're awake. If you don't respond in time, the alarm re-rings automatically — so sleeping through is even harder.

Live Activity Snooze Timer
A new lock-screen Live Activity shows your snooze countdown in real time, so you always know exactly how long until the next ring without unlocking your phone.

[Improvements]

App-Wide Snooze Settings
Snooze duration is now configured once in Settings and applied to all alarms — no more hunting through individual alarm options.

[Bug Fixes]

• Fixed custom ring tone not playing in background notification scenarios
• Fixed fallback repeat notifications not restoring correctly after the alarm fires
• Fixed audio session conflicts when other apps are playing audio
• Fixed lock-screen snooze not cancelling outstanding fallback notifications

Thank you for using WarmWake.

### 1.10.0 — 2026-04-19

Introducing WarmWake 1.10.0.

[What's New]

Bedtime message reminder
Get a gentle nudge before you sleep to record a voice message for tomorrow's alarm. Toggle it on and set your preferred time in Settings.

[Improvements]

Louder alarm ring
The alarm now temporarily boosts device volume at ring time, so it is harder to sleep through on quiet devices.

Smoother time wheel
The hour and minute picker dials now scroll with a more natural, bouncy feel.

Consistent save button styling
The Save and Quick Alarm buttons now share a unified color style.

[Bug Fixes]

• Fixed alarm volume boost not applying when the app launched via an implicit engine initialization on iOS.

Thank you for using WarmWake.
