Wakefy

Yes, Wakefy is under continuous improvement and may contain bugs that could prevent the alarm from going off. Always use backup alarms and test Wakefy under your current setup before relying on it.

Wakefy needs to access and edit a system file to trigger the alarm. macOS requires 'Full Disk Access' permissions for this, as there's no specific permission for that single file. This is a security measure introduced in macOS Mojave.

Yes, Wakefy is developed by Rameerez, an independent software developer, and is digitally signed and notarized by Apple. It's completely virus-free and malware-free. The app only schedules your computer's wake-up time and plays your selected music as the alarm.

Wakefy started as a free side project but grew in popularity, leading to increased support requests and costs. To sustain development, bug fixes, and new features, Wakefy now requires a subscription. Your support helps keep it independent and ad-free.

You can edit your billing and payment details or cancel your subscription through your personal Wakefy Account Dashboard.

If you see a message about Spotify search being unavailable, try closing and reopening the Wakefy app. To close it, press cmd + Q or right-click the app's icon in the menu bar and select 'Quit Wakefy.'

No, Wakefy will not work if your Mac is completely turned off. It can only wake your Mac from sleep mode. To use Wakefy, put your computer to sleep instead of turning it off.

Yes, Wakefy works with Apple Silicon Macs, including those with the M1 chip. It uses Rosetta for compatibility, but a native ARM version is planned for a future release.
