Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

Say It to Wake is an iPhone alarm app that you turn off by reading something out loud: a prayer, a Stoic passage or a tongue twister. This policy explains what data the app and this website use.

Speech recognition

When an alarm rings, the app listens through your microphone so it can check that you read the text on screen. Speech is processed on your device using Apple's on-device speech recognition. Your voice recordings and transcripts are not sent to us, and we do not store them.

Alarms and settings

Your alarms, chosen mode, settings and any custom text you add are stored on your iPhone. They are not uploaded to our servers. If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it.

Permissions

The app asks for microphone and speech recognition access so it can hear you, and for alarm and notification access so it can wake you. You can change these at any time in the iPhone Settings app.

Waitlist email

If you join the waitlist on this website, we store your email address and the mode you picked, and use them only to tell you when Say It to Wake launches. We do not sell or share them. To be removed, email support@sayittowake.com.

Website analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. It collects standard information such as browser type, pages viewed and approximate location. It does not identify you personally.

Children

Say It to Wake does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update it on this page and change the date above.
