Before you download
Can we try it before paying?
Yes. Download, setup and the bedside fit check are free. Your month of full access begins after setup, with a one-time purchase for continued access afterward. There is no subscription.
Do we need two phones?
No. Both partners take turns on the same iPhone, then confirm the sound together before setting an alarm.
Will it work for every couple?
No. People, devices, rooms and volume vary. If the app cannot find a suitable tone, it says so. Keep a trusted backup alarm while testing. You can try the listening check in your browser first.
Which phones are supported?
The iPhone app requires iOS 26 or later. Android is a separate Google Play closed beta; follow the three enrollment steps to join.

Bedside safety
Test it where you will sleep
Use only the built-in iPhone speaker for listening trials and previews. Disconnect headphones, Bluetooth, and AirPlay speakers. Keep a trusted backup alarm until the selected tone has passed the bedside check on this iPhone.
