Awaken

NEW • Choose an output speaker for alarms — including AirPlay speakers. The new Output Device section in Alarm Settings picks which speaker alarms play through (built-in sounds, Apple Music, and spoken messages all follow it), and Awaken switches to it when the alarm fires, automatically retrying AirPlay speakers that need a few attempts to reconnect after sleep. • Keep Speaker Connected option streams silent audio between alarms so an AirPlay speaker doesn't drop its connection overnight. • Restore Output After Alarm option (on by default) returns your Mac's audio to the previous device when the alarm ends — turn it off to keep listening on the alarm's speaker. • Per-alarm volume: each alarm can now have its own Custom Volume instead of the shared Alarm Volume. Alarms without a custom volume keep using the global setting. IMPROVED • The menu bar popover now caps its height on small screens and scrolls long content instead of growing off-screen. FIXED • Clicking the menu bar icon from a secondary desktop Space animated but didn't open the popover — it now opens on whichever Space you're using. • Fixed a crash when opening Alarm Settings on Macs with certain audio input devices connected.

• Awaken can now wake your Mac from sleep at your alarm time using the new AwakenHelper companion app — so you'll never miss a wake-up call. • Minor bug fixes and improvements for a smoother, more reliable experience.
