An alarm didn’t fire, or fired silently
Four things cover almost every case:
- Alarms are allowed: open iPhone Settings → Apps → Morning Vow and make sure alarms are allowed.
- The app is not locked or hidden: iOS silently skips alarms from apps protected with Face ID App Lock or hidden from the Home Screen. Don’t lock or hide Morning Vow.
- The app is installed: deleting the app cancels every scheduled alarm.
- Volume is up: check both the ringer and volume sliders — the in-app reliability checkup walks through all of this.
Still wrong after those? Email us — a missed alarm is the one bug we treat as an emergency.

Common questions
Does it really fire in Silent mode?
Yes. Morning Vow is built on AlarmKit, Apple’s alarm framework introduced in iOS 26. Alarms sound through Silent mode and Focus, the same way the built-in Clock app does.
Can’t I just slide to stop it?
You can — the slide-to-stop button is right there, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Sliding stops the sound, and the alarm comes back within minutes. Speaking is the only way to make it stop coming back.
What if I lose my voice, or can’t speak right now?
You’re never trapped. After three failed attempts (two on the gentle setting), a fallback appears: tap to confirm, or on the savage setting type the line in full. Settings also has a permanent option for anyone who can’t use voice reliably. Sick, hoarse, in a hotel room at 5am — the fallback is always reachable.
Where does my audio go?
Nowhere. Speech recognition runs on your iPhone. Your voice and your affirmations never leave your phone. The only traffic the app sends is anonymous usage and crash analytics, and the check that your subscription is active — never audio, never transcripts.
Why iOS 26.1 and later?
Two frameworks make Morning Vow possible, and both arrived with iOS 26: AlarmKit, for alarms that fire through Silent mode and Focus, and Apple’s on-device speech recognition. The floor is 26.1 because iOS 26.0 played an alarm’s custom sound only once; Apple fixed that in 26.1. Earlier versions of iOS can’t do this honestly.
Can I write my own affirmations?
Yes. That’s the point — your words, in your voice. Each alarm carries one to three affirmations: lines you write yourself, or lines from the starter pack.
Can someone else record my alarm?
Yes. Hand them your phone and they record up to 15 seconds in the app, or they send you a voice memo and you import it from Files. There is no sending feature, no account and no AI voice cloning — a real person says it. Morning Vow keeps the recording only on your phone: not in backups, not in analytics, never sent anywhere. Like any alarm, it plays out loud, through Silent mode.
Will a soft voice really wake me?
It doesn’t have to do it alone. The voice plays first, then a tone that rises, and the two repeat until you act. Slide it off and every backup alarm rings with the standard loud tone — never the recording. The wake voice is optional on every alarm; leave it off and the alarm starts with the standard tone.
Is there an Android version?
No. Morning Vow is built on Apple-only frameworks and is iPhone-only.
When does it launch?
It’s in the works — join the list and you’ll hear when it reaches the App Store.
