Most questions are answered below.
Setting up your routine
How do I change my wake time?
Open the Routine tab and use the − and + buttons next to Wake up. Every step's start time moves with it.
How do I change how long a step takes?
In the Routine tab, tap the step. Use − and + under How long.
How do I reorder my routine?
In the Routine tab, press and hold any step, then drag it. You can also tap a step and use Earlier or Later. Wake up always stays first.
What is the quick version?
It's a shorter routine for rushed mornings. In the Routine tab, tap the Quick badge on any step you'd still do when you're short on time. On the Today tab, switch between Full and Quick whenever you like.
How do I add my own habit, like pushups?
Tap Make your own in the Library or Routine tab. Give it a name, a length and an icon. To edit or delete it later, tap it.
Each morning
Do I have to check off every step?
No. Checking off steps is optional. One tap on How was your morning? is enough, and that's what colors your calendar.
How do I turn the check-in notification on or off?
Open the Quiet tab. Choose Ask how my morning went and pick 1, 2 or 3 hours after you wake, or choose No notifications. If nothing arrives, check that notifications are allowed for Morning Routine (listed as Morning) in your phone's settings.
Widget, Apple Watch and Android
How do I add the lock screen widget? (iPhone)
Press and hold your lock screen, tap Customize, choose the lock screen, tap the widget area and add Morning Routine (listed as Morning).
How do I get Morning Routine on my Apple Watch?
Open the Watch app on your iPhone, scroll to Available Apps, and tap Install next to Morning Routine (listed as Morning). Steps you check off and ratings you give on the watch show up on your phone, and the other way around.
Is there a widget or watch app on Android?
Not yet. On Android you get the full app on your phone, including the routine, the quick version, the check-in and the calendar. The lock screen widget and the watch app are on iPhone and Apple Watch only for now.
When can I download Morning Routine?
Soon. Morning Routine isn't in the App Store or Google Play yet. This site will link to both stores once it is.
Privacy and your data
Why does it want my location?
Only to show today's sunrise and first light, and only if you tap Use my location. It's worked out on your phone and never uploaded. See the privacy policy.
How do I start over?
Delete the app and install it again. Everything is stored on your device, so this clears it.
Still stuck?
