Help with Morning Vow.
Email support@morningvow.com and you’ll hear back within one business day. Include your iOS version and what you expected to happen; with those two facts most problems can be fixed.
An alarm didn’t fire, or fired silently
Check these four things first. Between them they explain almost every missed alarm.
- 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.
If the alarm still misbehaves, email us. A missed alarm is the bug we fix first, because an alarm that does not ring is no use to anyone.

Common questions
Can’t I just slide to stop it?
Yes. 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 slide off every one?
Then the morning is marked missed: a red dot, and your streak starts over. On Standard and Strict that is three rings, two minutes apart; on Gentle, two.
Does it really ring in Silent mode?
Yes. It rings like the built-in Clock app: through Silent mode and Focus, as a real alarm, not a notification.
What if I tap Speak and fall back asleep?
It rings again three minutes later, and again after that. The line has to be said out loud.
What if I lose my voice, or can’t speak?
There is always a way to answer. After three failed attempts (two on Gentle), you can tap to confirm instead; on Strict you type the line in full. Settings also has a permanent option for anyone who can’t use voice.
Where does my audio go?
Nowhere. Speech recognition runs on your iPhone, and your voice and affirmations never leave it. The app sends anonymous usage analytics to PostHog, an analytics service, never audio or transcripts. They are on by default and off with one switch in Settings.
Why iOS 26.1 or later?
iOS 26 is the first version that lets an app ring like the Clock app and recognize speech on the phone itself. iOS 26.1 fixed a bug that cut alarm sounds short. Every iPhone that runs iOS 26 can update for free.
Can I write my own affirmations?
Yes. Each alarm carries one to three lines: an affirmation, a verse, a prayer, a promise. Write your own, or start from the starter pack. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, type a goal and the app drafts lines for you on the phone itself.
Can someone else record my alarm?
Yes. Hand them your phone to record up to 15 seconds, or import their voice memo from Files. The voice plays first, then a rising tone; every backup uses the standard loud tone. The recording stays on your phone.
Is there a free version?
No. Monthly and Annual start with a 7-day free trial; cancel at least 24 hours before it ends and you pay nothing. No ads, and nothing about you is sold.
When does it launch? Is there an Android version?
Soon. Join the list and you’ll hear the day it reaches the App Store. It is iPhone only, and there are no plans for Android.
