Prove you are up. MORNING PROOF Pick a spot you walk to after waking, like the bathroom sink or the coffee machine, and take a photo of it. When the alarm rings with mission lock on, a matching photo taken there stops it. The match happens on your phone and the photo never leaves it. HARDER TO ESCAPE Close the app or turn the volume down while the mission is locked and the system alarm comes back within about 30 seconds. TIME'S UP CUE When a step runs out of time you get a short vibration and sound. If the phone is in your pocket, a Lock Screen notice tells you. You can turn it off in Settings. APPLE WATCH A new button on the watch gives the current step a little more time. A CALMER LOOK A bigger clock, simpler screens and setup in fewer taps. Permissions are now asked in one clear step. FIXES Alarms stay right when you travel to another time zone and across daylight saving changes. Editing a routine no longer cancels a pending snooze. Plus many smaller fixes.

Ready for iPhone Duo. IPHONE DUO DayPlay now fits whichever screen you are using. Folded, the outer screen keeps the portrait layout you know. Unfold it and the inner screen gets the same roomy layout as iPad, in portrait or landscape. APPLE WATCH The paused label now always fits inside the ring.

DayPlay has a new look, drawn for 7 am eyes. NEW DESIGN Every screen was redrawn. The alarm, the player, the Pro screen and the Today card now sit on a calm night scene, in light and dark mode alike. Buttons are quieter, and the warm accent only shows up when something is playing. EASIER TO READ Text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, a typeface designed for readability, with sharper headings to match. FASTER ROUTINE BUILDER A live cover preview while you name your routine, separate Scheduling and Wake-up cards, and all steps in one list. ONE SHEET FOR EVERY STEP Add or edit a step in a single sheet: quick suggestions, an icon strip, Timed or Check, and a big duration with preset minutes. THEME PACKS Dusk and Seaglass now look clearly different at night, and Settings previews each scene before you pick. FIXES Better contrast on the alarm screen, icon tiles that read properly in dark mode, a Today card that no longer gets clipped on iPhone SE, and a launch screen that matches the app.
