Wake device: iPhone

Let your phone do the waking

Every caregiver picks a wake device — Apple Watch or iPhone. Both are fully supported, and you can switch any time, even night to night. Choose iPhone and alerts arrive as strong, repeating silent vibrations — designed to wake you without a sound.

WAKE DEVICE

Keep your iPhone somewhere safe you'll feel or hear the vibrational alert.
((·)) Feel a test alert
  1. Open the Blueprint tab and tap iPhone in the Wake Device card at the top.
  2. Tap Save Changes. Your wake device isn't active until you save — the bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Tap "Feel a test alert." You get a few seconds to lock the phone and put it where you'd keep it overnight — then the real alarm runs so you know exactly what 2am feels like. Tap any Dozzi notification to end it.
  4. Keep your iPhone somewhere safe you'll feel or hear the vibrational alert — under your pillow, in your hand, on the mattress.

Good to know

• iPhone alerts are silent — they vibrate, they don't play a sound, so they won't wake your partner.

• They're built to keep buzzing to wake you even when the phone is locked and the screen is off.

• Each caregiver picks their own wake device — one of you can wake on a watch while the other wakes on their phone.

• Smart routing uses Apple Watch biometrics, so it's available when every caregiver wakes on a watch; iPhone households use Alternating, Schedule, or All Caregivers — which don't need watch data.

• Have a supported Apple Watch? Either device works — pick whichever you'd rather be woken by. The watch taps your wrist; the phone uses strong silent vibrations. See the watch guides.
