Oddly enough the reviews for autowake are horrible but autosleep is universally praised. Also seems autosleep includes some sort of alarm anyway.
Would for sure prefer not to go the watch route but this looks like the only premium one time purchase app and maybe I’ll end up enjoying it. Will see how often watches go on sale Thanks!
Honestly I find that the plain old health app does a fine job tracking sleep compared to AutoSleep but my wife uses that as gospel. I don’t like the discrepancy between the two personally and just go with what the health app says. I do like AutoSleep visualizations though.
I resisted the watch for a long time too and got my first in may and can’t believe I held out so long.
IT’s subscription but I really like Sleep Cycle.
Seems nice but subscription stuff really has plagued so many things. Hoping to own something for a long time, but I’ll keep this as a backup Ty!
I used it for years and years. I loved the insights it gave. To bad I cant get info from the health app into sleep cycle now that I use the built in tracker in the watch instead.
Is the health app really not enough? I also had a basic Garmin watch for a time which gave some pretty good info
OP asks for automatic wake-up. the built in one cannot do that.
Just found this, mentions sleep time goals
Beddit seems to have gone under. I stumbled on their product in clearance section at BestBuy a couple years back; super excited for what appeared to be a simple and elegant solution; only to discover their app haven’t been updated for years.
Apple bought it in 2017 and seems to have killed the product after using it to improve their sleep tracking in the Health app.
The built in health app has the automatic wake up for me, but that’s with an Apple Watch, so maybe it’s exclusive to that
The Apple Health program does have an alarm in it but it doesn’t track sleep quality to determine its time limit. With an Apple Watch, the alarm can display on the watch, even silently with haptics. I tried using AutoWake and AutoSleep and felt that both were too feature-heavy and overwhelming in information density to be useful for my simple needs.
