Frequently asked questions
What's a sweet way to wake someone up?
Short, warm messages with their name and something positive about the day work well: “Good morning, Emma. You're going to have a great day.” If you record it in your voice as an alarm, the effect is even stronger.
What's the best motivational wake-up message?
One that reminds you of a specific goal and asks you to act right away, like “Get up. You won't reach your goals from bed.”
Can I set a message as my alarm on iPhone?
The Clock app doesn't allow it, but with Alarma Voz you can type or record any message and the alarm will say it out loud at the exact time, even when your iPhone is on silent.
Can I wake up my partner with an alarm in my voice?
Yes. Record your message in Alarma Voz and send them the alarm. If you protect it with a PIN, they won't be able to listen to it before it goes off.
