Effective August 11, 2026 · Yolk: Alarm Clock & Habits
Email inkpocket.app@gmail.com and we will get back to you. Telling us your iPhone model and what you were doing when it went wrong saves a round trip.
Yes. Yolk uses AlarmKit, the same system Apple's own Clock app uses, so the alarm sounds on silent and through a Focus mode. That is why the app asks for alarm permission on first launch — without it, iOS will not let the alarm break through.
Only for the Item Snap mission, and only if you choose it. You register a spot — the sink, the kettle — by photographing it once, and in the morning you photograph it again to switch the alarm off. The comparison happens on your iPhone. No photo is uploaded and nothing is sent anywhere.
Only for the step, squat and shake missions, so it can count them. Yolk asks in daylight, when you are setting the alarm, rather than at six in the morning over a ringing alarm. If you never pick one of those missions, it never needs the permission.
No. There is no account and no server of ours. Your alarms, habits, streak and points sit in the app's own storage on your iPhone, and deleting the app deletes them.
Ads on the free plan are served by Google AdMob, which receives technical information about your device to serve and measure them. iOS asks you first whether Yolk may track you; decline and the ads are not personalised, but they still appear. Subscribing removes them altogether.
Yes. Import a sound from your files and Yolk converts it into the format an alarm needs and keeps it on the device. Imported sounds are trimmed to thirty seconds, which is the limit iOS places on an alarm sound.
Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by us: open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Cancelling there stops the renewal. If you cancel during the seven-day trial you are not charged.
If a measurement was badly off, it helps enormously to know: the model of iPhone, whether the tracking indicator was green at the time, what the surface was (bare wall, glass, carpet, mirror), and what the app said versus what a tape said. Send those and we can usually reproduce it.
