Apple Music¶
Alarmify works with Apple Music as a music source for both Alarms and Smart Wake.
How to connect¶
You can connect Apple Music during onboarding or later in Settings. When prompted, tap Allow on the Apple Music access popup. That's it.
An Apple Music subscription is required to access the full library of songs, playlists, and albums.
How it works with Alarms¶
In the Alarms tab, Apple Music songs play as 30-second clips of the selected song.
How it works with Smart Wake¶
In Smart Wake, Apple Music plays full songs, playlists, and albums using native iOS playback (MusicKit).
Key advantage over Spotify¶
With Apple Music, no overnight connection is needed. Unlike Spotify, the app does not need to stay connected to a service all night. This means:
- You can use other audio apps freely at night (YouTube, TikTok, meditation apps, etc.)
- You don't need to keep Alarmify or any music app open overnight
- There is no silent audio playing in the background
Apple Music is the simplest way to use Smart Wake without any restrictions on how you use your phone at night.
