A reliability release. Most of this came from people telling us what broke — thank you. WAKE-UP CALLS • Fixed a crash that could stop the app when a call came in, which meant no alarm at all. This was the important one. • Your briefing is now prepared well before your wake time, so the call always has something to play. • Answering the call now properly stops the backup alarm — it could previously still ring afterwards. • A call could arrive hours late if your phone had been unreachable. Calls now expire instead. ALARMS • An alarm could switch itself off in the background. Fixed. • Turning an alarm off now cancels its backup properly, instead of leaving one armed to ring days later. BRIEFING PLAYER • Play works when you open the player directly, rather than only after starting playback elsewhere. • Tap to reveal the briefing a line at a time, swipe to move between sections, swipe down to close. • The progress bar now shows where you are instead of sitting at the start. • Opening the player from your alarm takes you straight to the briefing. Your alarm was never affected by any of this — it always rang.

A reliability release, and an apology. FIXED • Your morning briefing sometimes wasn't ready when you woke up, and the wake-up call didn't always come through. Both are fixed. • The alarm you set during setup could go missing. It now carries over properly. • Subscription status is handled correctly across devices and reinstalls. Your alarm itself was never affected by any of this — it always rang. Thanks for bearing with us.

The wake-up call is a lot more reliable this time — and setting it up is one tap instead of four. WAKE-UP CALL • Fixed the calls that rang silently. Your briefing now plays every time. • The call hangs up on its own when your briefing ends, and there's an End button in the app if you'd rather stop early. • Adding the Wakely contact now takes one tap, with the number already filled in. SETUP THAT ACTUALLY SETS YOU UP • Onboarding now creates your alarm — pick a time, pick a call or an alarm, and you're done. • Choose your voice, reading speed, and how your briefing is written along the way. NEW • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — your next alarm and today's briefing at a glance. • Style: the same news, told the way you want to hear it. • Scores & prices: follow a team or a stock and just get the number, without the news about it. • Every alarm can have its own sound and snooze length. FIXED • Your chosen alarm sound no longer reverts to the default. • Local news works for smaller towns. • Morning challenges follow your light or dark theme. • Your briefing no longer repeats a story it already told you.

Wake-up calls are here. Wakely can now call you in the morning and read your briefing out loud. Answer, listen, and you're caught up before you're out of bed. A quick one-time setup lets the call ring through Silent mode and Sleep Focus, and a backup alarm has your back if you sleep through it. Also in this update: • Reading speed. Choose how fast your briefing is read, with natural pauses between sections so it's easier to follow first thing in the morning. • Your calendar and reminders. Today's events and anything you've asked Wakely to remember are now woven into the briefing. • Faster commute setup. Start typing an address and Wakely fills in the rest. We also fixed a long list of smaller things across alarms, weather, and setup to make your mornings more dependable.

Mornings feel more personal now. • Today in History — your briefing now ends with a moment from this day in history. Notable, quirky, or a mix — your pick. • Redesigned briefing settings — quick presets (Essentials or the Full brief) plus a cleaner, grouped layout to build exactly the morning you want. • Morning Message — open your briefing with a short line: motivation, humor, calm, or reflection. • Wake-up streak — track your mornings and tap the calendar to replay past briefings. • Next alarm at a glance on your home screen, plus sharing fixes and polish throughout.
