Alarms vs Smart Wake

Alarmify offers two modes to wake you up using music:

  • Alarms

  • Smart Wake

ℹ️ The two modes don’t work the same way, not because we “chose” to remove features, but because technical limitations (iOS + Spotify rules) make each mode behave differently.

Alarms

With Alarms, you can:

  • Create as many alarms as you want.

  • Schedule each alarm.

  • Wake up to the short version of any song you want.

  • Choose playlists (they play one song at a time).

  • Enjoy a default gradual volume.

But:

  • You can't play the full version of songs.

  • You can't play entire playlists or podcasts.

  • You can't customize gradual volume.

  • You don't have a sleep cycle calculator.

  • You don't have sleep music.

Smart Wake

With Smart Wake, you can:

  • Play the full version of songs, from start to finish.

  • Play entire playlists, from top to bottom.

  • Play entire podcasts, from start to finish.

  • Customize gradual volume at your taste.

  • Find optimal times to wake up with sleep cycle calculator.

  • Improve sleep with sleep music.

This mode is able to do all of this because it stays connected to Spotify all night, otherwise it's not possible.

But:

  • You can't create more than one alarm.

  • You can't schedule alarms, you need to activate it at night.
