Original release notes
Allarise turns your alarm into the start of a smarter morning. Wake up to simple, reliable alarms that connect to Home Assistant so your lights, scenes, and routines move when you do — then get out of bed with wake-up missions, wind down with calming sleep sounds, and enjoy a clean, ad-free app with no accounts and no tracking. ALARM ENGINE - Alarms that mean business. Every alarm is paired with a system AlarmKit backup, so one of them always fires — even if the app isn't running. - Allarise plays at the volume you set, independent of your ringer and mute switch. Designed to sound when your phone is muted, on Do Not Disturb, or locked. - Set recurring schedules, customize snooze, and configure each alarm independently. - Free includes 2 alarms.

A step-by-step setup guide and interactive MQTT Payload Builder are available at https://allarise.app. WAKE-UP MISSIONS - Make sure you're actually awake before dismissing your alarm. - Solve math, shake the phone, clear lines in Bricks, hold off the wave in Meteor, or hand the dismiss to Home Assistant. Chain up to five missions per alarm. SLEEP SOUNDS & RADIO - Fall asleep to rain, ocean waves, white noise, and more. - Use lock screen controls, adjustable sleep timers, and fade-out transitions — and control it all remotely from Home Assistant over MQTT. - Pro unlocks custom imported alarm tones and sleep sounds. AFTER-ALARM ACTIONS - Start your day with something you'll love. After you dismiss, Allarise can greet you with t…
