Widgets and Siri: your alarm at a glance, or by voice
Updated
Scamper's widgets show your next alarm and your streak on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, as part of Plus. With Siri and Shortcuts you can set a Scamper alarm, hear when your next one rings, turn off tomorrow's alarm or start Quiet time, on every plan.
Coming soon to the App Store
Widgets Plus
- Next alarm: when your next Scamper alarm rings, on the Home Screen (small and medium) and the Lock Screen.
- Streak: your wake-up streak and this week's tally.
Widgets read your next alarm and streak from storage the app shares with them on your iPhone. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Siri and Shortcuts
- “Set a Scamper alarm” (Siri asks what time).
- “When's my next Scamper alarm?”
- “Turn off tomorrow's Scamper alarm”
- “Start quiet time in Scamper”
Each one is also an action in the Shortcuts app, so you can build automations around it.
What Siri won't do
Changing alarms needs your iPhone unlocked. Siri won't turn off an alarm while it's ringing, and won't turn one off during Bedtime lock: that would make the morning easier to skip, so you end the lock in the app first. Adding an alarm works even during Bedtime lock.
Questions
Are the widgets free?
Widgets are part of Plus. Siri and Shortcuts work on every plan.
Can Siri stop a ringing alarm?
No. A ringing alarm still needs your tag, Walk it off or the emergency unlock.
