jit bull transpile posted:is there any way to get Spotify to work with the alarm on ios like it does in Android? if not is there a way to import my own mp3s? I miss having a musical alarm and gently caress rebuying music I already own from Apple music. you might be able to make a Spotify workflow in the new iOS 12 Siri shortcut app, and then maybe you can hook that up to the alarm?? I feel like this is something they wanted to make happen but no idea if it works

the alarm I used a long while ago on Android had the option of a silent initial alarm which would then gradually fade-in to a loud alarm if you didn't clear it within however many seconds you had set. it was very nice for alarms midday where you'd probably see/hear you phone on your desk before it went to full volume but you didn't want to risk missing the single sound/buzz of a reminder or calendar notification. it also do allowed you to mark an alarm to skip the next alarm without disabling the alarm totally and could run more than one timer at once.

could you not just make a "ringtone" that is a few seconds of silence, then a quiet tone, then louder, until full volume?

Wild EEPROM posted:the fuckin solution is to buy the Phillips wake up light. wholeheartedly agree. an excellent clock, especially the sunset feature. I don't use the alarm on my phone for anything but reminding me in an unmissable way that I need to leave for an appointment. which also happens to be when the "alarm silent first, then gradually louder" is the most useful and also when the bedtime feature is useless.

I find it most useful in the winter where if I get up with just an alarm I have a hard time getting productive in the morning and my wife has a difficult time getting good rest because the 5:30 sunset is so far from when we go to sleep.
