What device and system do I need?
Timact is available for iPhone running iOS 26 or later. The app supports Simplified Chinese and English.
How do wake-up tasks work?
Set an alarm and a task before bed; follow the prompt to complete your chosen task when it rings; then confirm that you’re up. Timact does not automatically determine whether you are awake or guarantee that you will get up.
Learn more in the wake-up task guide.
Must I finish a task to stop the sound?
No. You don’t have to finish a task to stop the alarm. Timact keeps the system stop control, emergency mute, and a backup number task. These options don’t require an account, a subscription, or an internet connection.
What if I cannot take a photo or allow camera access?
You can use a backup number task. You don’t need to take a photo or successfully identify an object to stop the alarm. If the setting is unsuitable, recognition fails, or getting up is not practical, stop the sound using a safety exit rather than repeatedly trying the camera.
Are camera frames uploaded or saved to Photos?
Under the current release's privacy description, recognition happens on iPhone. Frames are not uploaded, saved as photos, or written to the photo library. A frame may remain in memory temporarily after recognition or during a one-time diagnostic check to display the result. This is separate from website access logs generated when visiting the site.
Learn more in the camera privacy and safety guide.
Do I need an account or Pro to use Timact?
No Timact account or sign-in is required. Standard alarms and number sequence tasks are free. Object recognition, math, gentle shaking, and color memory tasks require a Timact Pro auto-renewable subscription. Monthly, quarterly, and annual plans are available, with prices shown in the app. Purchases and restores are handled by Apple through StoreKit.
Stopping the alarm and using a backup number task don’t require an account, a subscription, or an internet connection. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled in the App Store. Purchase and restore subscriptions in the app.
