Frequently asked questions
Is Shiftvilo available on Google Play?
Not yet. The Google Play section on the home page is marked as coming soon. The app is in release preparation and is not publicly downloadable.
Does Shiftvilo need an account?
No. The core app is local-first and does not require an account. Your schedule, sleep records and settings are stored on your device. Google Play may be contacted for optional purchases and advertising may use Google’s consent tools.
Do alarms work offline?
Scheduling and alarms are designed to work locally without a network. Delivery still depends on Android permissions, battery optimization and the device manufacturer. Test alarms on your physical device.
Why does the alarm look different on some phones?
Android 14 and later restrict full-screen alarm intents. Shiftvilo requests eligibility where permitted and falls back to a high-priority notification with snooze and wake confirmation when full-screen alarms are not allowed.
How do I improve alarm reliability?
Allow notifications, exact alarms and full-screen intent where offered. Exempt Shiftvilo from aggressive battery optimization if your manufacturer requires it, and check alarms after a reboot. Keep the phone’s normal alarm as a backup.
How do I change the language?
Use Settings → Language for System default, Svenska or English. Android 13 and later also exposes the app language in system settings.
Are ads shown during alarms?
No. Ads are limited to small adaptive banners in Dashboard, Calendar and Settings. They are not part of the alarm, snooze, wake-confirmation or Premium screens. Premium removes ads entirely.
What does Premium include?
Premium removes advertisements only. All scheduling, alarm, sleep, meal and backup features remain free. Premium is available as a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase; Google Play shows the current price and tax.
How do I restore a purchase?
Open Settings → Premium and tap Restore purchases while signed in to the Google Play account used for the purchase. Premium is not restored from a Shiftvilo backup.
How do I cancel a subscription?
Open Settings → Premium → Manage subscription or the Google Play subscriptions page. Access continues until the end of the paid period. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
How do I change privacy choices?
When required, open Settings → Privacy and ads → Manage ad consent. Refusing or limiting consent does not block scheduling or alarms.
How do I delete my data?
Delete sleep records in the sleep view, restore temporary overrides from the calendar, or uninstall the app to remove app-private data. Exported JSON backups remain wherever you saved them.
