Tips
iOS Battery Saving Shortcut
Due to iOS limitations, Doodlewake must run in the background to function reliably. To save battery during the day, you can use the Shortcuts app to remind yourself to open Doodlewake just before bed, and have it closed during the day.
1. Open the Shortcuts app and go to the Automation tab
2. Click "New Automation"
3. Select "Time of Day"
4. Set the time to when you last check your phone before bed, and keep other settings as default (Daily and Run After Confirmation)
5. Search for "app" and select "Open App" under Get Started
6. Click on "App"
6. Search for Doodlewake and select it
7. When your automation runs, you’ll receive a notification, just tap it and press Run to open Doodlewake. You can safely force quit Doodlewake during the day and only reopen it at night when needed.

iOS - Alarm Optimization
Open Doodlewake After Rebooting Device
iOS does not automatically restart background jobs after a device reboots. To ensure your alarm rings on time, open Doodlewake once after restarting your phone.
Turn Off Auto-App Updates
iOS may kill Doodlewake’s background job during auto-updates, and restarting can take 15 min to several hours (depending on battery, system state, etc.).This delay may cause alarms to be late so we recommend you:
1. Manually update Doodlewake
2. Open the app after updating to restart background tasks instantly
3. Turn off auto-app updates by going to Settings and searching "app store":
4. Disable "App updates" under Automatic Downloads:
Add Doodlewake to “Do Not Disturb” Allowed Apps
Allows notifications and alarms to come through even with Do Not Disturb on.1. Go to Settings and select "Focus":
2. Select "Do Not Disturb":
3. Click on "Apps":
4. Ensure "Allow Notifications From" is selected and click "Add Apps":
5. Select Doodlewake and press Done:
6. Repeat step 2 for other Focus modes
Keep Permissions Enabled
Ensure all relevant permissions are granted (notifications, camera, background refresh, and media).1. Go to Settings and search "doodlewake":
2. Check that app permissions are enabled:
3. Check notification permissions are enabled and to "Immediate Delivery":
Turn off Silent Switch
Make sure your iPhone’s Silent Mode is OFF (switch flipped up, no orange showing) when you expect your alarm to ring.If iOS ever kills Doodlewake’s background job, the app relies on a fallback notification to alert you. These notifications only make a sound when Silent Mode is off.
Avoid Force-Quitting the App
If you force quit the app, iOS will kill its background job. The alarm will then rely on background refresh to restart, which can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours, depending on your device’s battery and activity state.To save battery during the day while keeping alarms reliable, consider using this Shortcuts tip to automatically open Doodlewake only before bed.
