Is it free?
Yes: the alarm, your morning, weather, calendar, tasks and news are free, with one ad on the Today screen after your alarm. Premium has no ads, and adds two hosts, a language to learn, all 30 voices, every length and style, a time for each day, snooze, a choice of alarm sounds, more sources, up to five calendar links, 30 days of mornings and 5 previews a day, for $19.99 a year or $3.39 a month, with a 7-day free trial.
Do I need a Google account?
Not to start: you get three mornings without one. After that, connect a Google account to keep your alarm. Your calendar and tasks stay optional.
When is my morning written?
Just before your alarm. That way it has the latest weather, today’s events and this morning’s headlines.
Does it need an internet connection?
Yes, at alarm time: your morning is written and sent to your phone right then. If your phone is offline at that moment, it can’t ring on time, so keep a backup alarm for the mornings you can’t miss.
Will it ring when my phone is on silent?
It plays at your phone’s alarm volume, like your other alarms, which ring on silent too. If Do Not Disturb is set to silence alarms, it will be silent as well. You set the volume on the Alarm tab.
Why does it sometimes miss a task?
It reads your default Google Tasks list: the tasks due today and the ones still open from earlier days. Upcoming occurrences of repeating tasks aren’t available through Google’s Tasks API, so it can’t read those until they’re created.
Can I choose which calendars it reads?
Yes. In Customize, open Calendar and switch off the ones you don’t want, like holidays or shared family calendars.
Can I change what it says?
Yes. In Customize you choose what goes in and in which order, how long it is and its style. Under Anything else? you can write what you want in your own words. After a morning, the thumbs down on the Today tab offers quick fixes: shorter, less news, more about your day.
Can I hear it again?
Yes. The Today tab has your latest morning to replay or read, with the weather, your day and the headlines. Earlier mornings stay there for 30 days.
What happens when I travel?
Your alarm follows your phone’s time zone: open the app once in the new place and it rings at the same local time. The weather stays for the city you chose; change it in Customize.
Which languages does it speak?
46 languages, with 30 voices. You can listen to every voice before you pick one.
What happens to my data?
Your events and tasks are used only to write your morning, sent to Google Gemini without other people’s email addresses. Your mornings are kept for 30 days, then deleted. The details are in the Privacy Policy.
Can I use an Outlook or iCloud calendar?
Yes, by its link. In Settings, open Calendar links and paste the calendar’s ICS link (in Outlook: Settings, Calendar, Shared calendars, Publish a calendar). One calendar link is free; Premium reads up to five.
What is the podcast?
With Premium, open Customize and pick Podcast under Hosts. Your morning becomes a short show about your day and your life: one host asks the questions, the other answers.
What does it read from Health Connect, and where does it go?
Only if you switch on Sleep and activity in Customize (Premium) and allow it in Health Connect: your steps, workouts, resting heart rate and sleep. Your phone sends one short summary per day, never the records, used only to write your morning. The details are in the Privacy Policy.
Do I need a watch?
No. Anything that writes to Health Connect works: a fitness app on your phone, a watch, or apps like Samsung Health and Fitbit. With a watch or a sleep app, your morning also knows how you slept.
How do I cancel Premium?
In Google Play: Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions, Not-An-Alarm. You keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for.
How do invites work?
Invite a friend from Today or Settings. When their first morning plays, you both get a month of Premium, up to 12 months for you.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, open Settings and tap Delete account. Without the app, use the Delete Account page. Cancel a Premium subscription in Google Play first.
