What Flight Day does today

Everything below exists in the current builds. Where a device doesn’t have a feature yet, the line under it says so. Plans live on the roadmap.

Night · launch alarm

Wake and sleep

A countdown you actually want to wake up to, and a bedroom that stays dark the rest of the night.

  • Launch alarmA countdown scene while the screen and lights rise, liftoff at your wake time, then the morning briefing.Every device
  • Snooze 10 min · I’m up · Scrub · −1 min · Launch nowScrub is a deliberate hold, so you can’t cancel the morning by accident. Snoozed screens show the new liftoff time and snoozes left. A “must be up by” limit caps the snoozing.Every device · TV remote: Back snoozes
  • Back to bedReturns only the bedroom to night, until noon.Every device
  • Sleep scheduleMon–Fri, Saturday and Sunday groups, custom days and a separate tomorrow-only change. Bedtime is a target; it never starts anything by itself.Wall · TV · iPhone · iPad · Mac. Tomorrow-only change on Apple: in flight
  • GoodnightOne tap starts a sleep sound on the bedroom speaker, sets its volume and turns the screens dark. Tonight shows exactly what Goodnight will do.Every device
  • Night screenPure black, or a dim red night clock. Touch or a button shows the time and quiet controls for ten seconds: wake time, alarm, sound and this screen. Labels and values only.Wall · TV · iPad · Apple TV. On iPad and Apple TV the overlay is read-only
  • Last night and the last seven morningsWhen you went to bed against your target, and when you got up.Wall · TV · iPhone · iPad · Mac
Wall panel ignition sequence: T-minus three seconds against a dawn sky, a rocket and tower in silhouette.

Apple extras · TestFlight beta

Only on Apple, by design

The Apple apps are native and use what each platform does best. They’re a TestFlight beta; there’s no App Store release date.

iPhone

Alarm notifications with Snooze, I’m up and Scrub, Live Activities, Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, Control Center, Siri and Shortcuts.

Apple Watch

The alarm on your wrist, double tap to snooze, complications, and an offline “as of” mode.

Mac

A sidebar dashboard and a menu-bar countdown.

Apple TV

Top Shelf, Siri Remote alarm controls, YouTube hand-off for launch streams, offline “as of” mode.

House rules

What every build follows

Nothing on the wall is fake

A tile shows real data or a standby that says what it’s waiting for. Sample content appears only in demo mode, and it’s labelled.

Night is quiet

Red and amber on black, no brand colours, nothing visible or audible on bedroom screens at night unless you ask.

Warm light only

No routine sets white light.

Readable and calm

Text meets 4.5:1 contrast (the deliberately dim night clock aside) and Reduce Motion is respected everywhere.
