Wake Up to Music You Love — Automatically What if your alarm wasn't a jarring beep… but a Spotify playlist? What if your road-trip soundtrack kicked in the exact second you started the car? BEFORE YOU INSTALL — WHAT TO EXPECT SpotiActions cannot read, import or browse your Spotify library. What it gives you is a catalogue of 87 ready-made playlists, built into the app as shortcuts, and the plumbing to fire any of them automatically from iOS Shortcuts. With Premium you also get one playlist of your own: paste the link of a public playlist and we prepare it for you, usually within 5 days. It is one per user and it is not instant — better you know that now than after paying. TRY IT BEFORE YOU PAY The app is free. Install three playlists from any group except Personalized, build your automation, and let it wake you up. Nothing is locked behind a clock and there is no trial to forget about. When you want more, a single payment unlocks Premium: all 87 playlists including the Personalized group, every playlist added later, the widget, and your own playlist. No subscription, nothing renews, nothing expires. NEW: ONE PLAYLIST OF YOUR OWN (PREMIUM) The one you built, not one from the catalogue. Paste its link in Settings and we set it up for you by hand. When it is ready, it installs like any other playlist and works in alarms and automations like the rest. The playlist has to be public on Spotify. NEW: A WIDGET FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN AND CARPLAY (PREMIUM) Three playlists, one tap each, on your Home Screen or on the CarPlay dashboard (CarPlay widgets need iOS 26). In the car your iPhone has to be unlocked for the widget to start a playlist; that is how iOS runs widgets. 87 PLAYLISTS, READY TO GO Every playlist ships inside the app as a ready-made shortcut. No links to chase, nothing to build by hand. Tap a cover, approve the install, and it plays. Eight categories: Country Charts, Personalized, Mixes by decade, Mixes by genre, Trending artists, Worldwide top, In Spanish and Curated. A BETTER WAY TO WAKE UP Ditch the default radar tone for good. Set any of these playlists as your morning alarm, or a different one for each day of the week — pounding techno to launch you out of bed, or soft acoustic to ease into the morning. CARPLAY & COMMUTES ON AUTOPILOT The moment your iPhone connects to CarPlay or your car's Bluetooth, an automation can start your driving playlist — no more fumbling with your phone while backing out of the driveway. THE CLOSEST THING TO PERSONAL, WITHOUT WAITING Some playlists in the Personalized group follow whoever runs them: your Liked Songs, your Discover Weekly, your Wake Up Happy. The same shortcut plays your music on your phone and your partner's music on theirs. They are Spotify's playlists, not ones you built, and they are part of Premium. WHAT YOU GET - Custom music alarms — wake up to any playlist in the catalogue - Smart triggers — by time of day, location, or car connection - One playlist of your own, set up for you (Premium) - A Home Screen and CarPlay widget with three playlists (Premium) - Favourites, so the playlists you use are always one swipe away - Works with Spotify Free and Premium - One payment, never a subscription - Day and Night themes, plus one that follows your system Two requirements, both free: Apple's Shortcuts app, and Spotify installed on the same iPhone. Each playlist has to be installed and played once before it works inside an automation. That is Apple's permission model, not a limitation of the app, and it is a one-time step per playlist. SpotiActions is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Spotify AB.
