AutoWake Is No Longer Available

Unfortunately we have had to withdraw AutoWake from sale, as it will not work as originally developed on the new WatchOS 10, due to a lot of changes under the hood released by Apple in the new WatchOS.

If you already own AutoWake you will continue to own it, but be mindful that updating to WatchOS 10 will cause issues. If you need to re-install the app you can do it via AppStore app - tap on your Profile and into Purchases.

If you are not aware, AutoSleep has a really great smart alarm built in. We built this with the long term plan to phase out AutoWake using an API that Apple developed with us in mind. This is why AutoWake was free in the bundle for all those years. 

Information on AutoSleep Smart Alarm. 

AutoSleep has been designed to have a feature that renders the snooze button redundant. Once you use it you will never go back. It is amazing how much better you feel once you use it.

Ideally set a 15 minute window and enable the arousal feature which will tap you once per minute during this window prior to sounding the alarm. 

This will take you out of deeper sleep. You may not even notice the first few taps, but you will start to be woken up gradually and by the time your alarm goes off you will be fully awake. This feature was designed to replace snooze as snooze. It works incredible well! Also, DON'T use the early wake feature if using this. 

Auto Schedule 

AutoWake is best used by manually enabling the alarm just before going to sleep. This gives a number of benefits such as telling AutoSleep that you have turned your lights off and want to track the time it takes you to fall asleep and also optionally running a HomeKit scene to do things like turning off lights and adjusting your heating. 

However, there are many benefits to setting up a schedule. These include: 

• Automatically enabling your alarm if you forget to turn it on. 

• Not having to manually change the alarm time each day. 

• Getting a bedtime reminder.

Options

Master Switch

The master switch lets you disable all auto scheduled features. This is useful if you are on holiday.

Mute Speech

The customised speak options that provide confirmation of alarm activation and de-activation and phone charge reminder are very useful when manually enabling the alarm. However, when using automatic activation, you may not be particularly happy if your iPhone wakes you up when it automatically enables the alarm some time during the night. 

Turning on Mute Speech will disable this speech. Note: This does not affect your safety voice or safety music, nor the optional snooze abuse. 

Safety Check

If you choose to enable a bedtime reminder you can then also enable a safety check. 

If enabled, the Watch app will check that the AutoWake complication is on your current Watch face, and also check that it can communicate with the iPhone app. If it finds any problems, it will send you a notification on the Watch.

You can set roughly how long after the bedtime reminder this will happen. Note: Keep in mind that if you have Do Not Disturb enabled on the Watch you will not receive the safety check notification. 

Daily Schedule

There are three options that you can set for each day of the week. 

The Watch App

The iPhone app will send your schedule settings to the Watch app either when you press the Send button in the top right corner, or, when you go back to the main settings menu. 

When an auto scheduled safety alarm has been set up for current/next day, the large alarm on / off switch will have the word AUTO in its centre to indicate that it will automatically enable. 

Otherwise, the switch functions as usual. You can manually activate the alarm as usual. You can also change the time or smart type for the manual activation. If you change the time and do not manually activate, then the auto scheduled alarm will still use your set  schedule. This is useful if you want to have a daytime nap and be woken by your alarm. 

If you turn the Digital Crown, you are able to view the next scheduled alarm and also optionally disable the auto scheduling.

Important Points

In order to provide smart alarm functionality the auto schedule feature requires that the AutoWake complication is on your active Watch face and that your iPhone can be contacted. 

Limp Home Mode

If the complication is not on your Watch face or your iPhone cannot be contacted when auto schedule auto enables, it will retry a few times, and then go into "limp home" mode. This will still trigger the alarm on the Watch in standard (non smart) mode. Occasionally, it may sometimes be a few minutes outside of your set time (but within 10 minutes).
