Bedtime reminders and the Stasis Pod

Getting up is easier if you went to bed on time. The STASIS tab has two things for the evening: a bedtime reminder and the Stasis Pod.

The bedtime reminder

Under BEDTIME ALARM REMINDER, choose how it decides when to go off:

  • Fixed Time: the same time every night.
  • Dynamic (Hours Before): a set amount of time before your earliest alarm, such as 8 hours before. If you change your alarms, the reminder moves with them.

Choose a sound under BEDTIME REMINDER TONE.

Making it hard to ignore

Switch on Require barcode scan to dismiss and choose a saved code. The reminder then stays at full volume until you scan it, so you can’t turn it down from the sofa. Put the code by your bed or on your toothbrush, and turning it off means you’re already on the way.

Without the barcode lock, it’s a gentler nudge. You can turn it down or dismiss it, including from its notification.

The Stasis Pod

Tap ENTER STASIS POD for full-screen visuals and ambient sound to wind down with.

  • AMBIENT VISUAL: choose the animation.
  • Sounds: including Light Rain, Thunderstorm, Cave Drips, Spring Birds and Deep Space Drift.
  • Active Shutdown Timer: set a SHUTDOWN DURATION and the sound stops by itself. It won’t play all night.

Stasis Pod sounds use your phone’s media volume, not the alarm volume, so you can turn them down without affecting tomorrow’s alarm.

Don’t want the pod-door animation? Turn it off in Settings under Stasis Pod Door Animation.
