Sleeping and waking up:

The Alarm & Timer feature of our app is the best tool at your disposal.

In this section, you can add, remove and modify a variety of timers and alarms with various simple and advanced features that will allow you to customize and personalize the way your app works with your sound mixes.

On the top of the Screen you will find two buttons on either side. The first one is an 'X' mark and the other a 'βœ“'.

The "X" button will cancel the creation of the alarm and the βœ“ will save and activate the alarm with the settings currently displayed in the screen.

Sound

The sound option in the Alarm Configuration screen, is the place where you will choose the sound you want to play the moment the alarm goes off.

You have 3 options to chose from when it comes to sound selections for your Alarm.

Favourites

When you tap on the Sound option inside the Alarm Configuration Screen you will be taken to a separate screen with to options: Favourites and Sounds.

Favourites will be the default option displayed. As its name says, Favourites will list the mixes you have saved in your device as your Favourite mixes through the Favourites Option in the home screen.

Favourites option within the Alarm Configuration:

Current Selection

The first option in the Favourites section when configuring an Alarm is called Current Selection.

This is a term that you will probably find often in this Knowledge base as well as your app in certain instructions or descriptions.

Current Selection is the term used to reference the sounds, brainwaves, guided meditations or courses that are Currently Selected in your App and by pressing the play button, will play.

In relation to the Alarm configuration, when you create a new alarm, the default sound selection is "Current Selection" as the sound or sounds that will play the moment the alarm goes off.

IMPORTANT: If your current selection is empty (you have no sounds, brainwaves, guided meditations or courses selected in your home screen) the moment the alarm goes off. The alarm will function as intended but no sounds will play.

However if you configure your alarm using current selection as the default sound and the alarm goes off while some sounds are selected in the home screen, then those are the sounds that will play the moment your alarm goes off.

After Current Selection you will see listed the mixes you saved as your Favourites.

If you have not saved any Favourites, then the only available option in this screen will be Current Selection.
