Every update, newest first.

• Once you've said I'm up, that morning stays quiet. Ring anyway still works if you want it.
• A morning you've moved stays where you put it, even if you change your usual time afterwards. Before, the move could be counted twice and ring hours early, in the night. The update puts back any morning already caught by it. Thanks Karl.

• First Thing now speaks Spanish, German, French and Portuguese, on your phone, your watch and in its notifications. It follows your phone's language, or pick one in Settings › Language.
• Something read oddly? Tell us from Settings › Send feedback.
• After I'm up, the goodbye sits in the middle of the screen.

• A new ringing screen: a sunrise. It starts as the night it woke you from and brightens as the alarm gets louder. I'm up brings the day in; Snooze sets the sun again.
• Your calendar can wake you earlier, if you say so. When something early is on, First Thing asks once, on your phone and your watch: "Up at 7:15 for Stand-up 9:00?" One tap and it's set.
• Flights and night shifts always get their alarm, with or without Pro.
• Heading out? The ringing screen tells you when to leave, not just why it's ringing.
• Your watch stays on this morning until you're up, so a snooze never loses your backup alarm.
• No more misreading the day. After midnight it says "Tuesday", not a "tomorrow" that could mean either.
• Times follow your phone's 12-hour clock, and there's a new icon.

• The tester group is full and closed to new members, and First Thing is with Google for production review.
• Thank you to everyone who tested it: 20 phone builds in 15 days, most of them shaped by your reports.
• Testers keep getting updates through Google Play as normal.

• Swiping between nights is smooth. Each night loads once and is kept, and the nights either side load quietly in the background, so a loading screen is rare.
• Tonight, Week and You keep their place when you switch tab or open Settings.
• Back to tonight from a few nights away fades straight there, and cards on Week and You fade in like Tonight's.

• Your alarm won't stay quiet just because you were on your phone in bed. "Don't ring if I'm already up" now asks first: "Up already? Your 7:30 alarm will still ring", with an I'm up button. Only that tap switches it off.
• "Leave by" only when that event is why your alarm went off, and it has a Stop button. Don't want it at all? Settings, Notifications, "Leave-by countdown".
• Removed the lifetime Pro claim card. Founding testers keep Pro for the whole test, and we'll email you about keeping it when First Thing launches.

• Up at 7:30 for an afternoon flight? Your morning is a normal morning now. "Leave by" starts an hour before you need to go, not as soon as you wake.
• Tonight's date sits on its own line, and an afternoon or evening alarm reads "12:30" with "Your afternoon alarm" underneath, so the time stays centred.
• Event times say pm when they're later in the day: "your night shift at 10:00 pm", not "10:00".
• A bedtime you chose for tonight is headed "Your bedtime tonight".

• The next-alarm notification is no longer always there. It comes up the evening before, when something changes, and on mornings you head out, and you can swipe it away.
• Never about tomorrow before midday, so you don't wake up to tomorrow's early flight.
• Your alarm still shows in the status bar and on your lock screen. Prefer the old always-there card? Settings, Notifications, "Keep my next alarm in notifications".

Clocks go back on 25 October

• Your alarm rings on the new time. Tested in the UK and Europe, including snoozing right across the change. Friday and Saturday night say so plainly, and Sunday morning confirms it: "Rang 8:00 on the new time".
• Snoozing across the change now shows the right "See you at" time on your phone and watch.

Up before your alarm

• It always tells you it won't ring: "You're up: your 7:30 alarm won't ring", kept until midday with Ring anyway, and the morning screen says why. Dismissing early on your watch says so on your phone too.
• If you've turned that notice off, First Thing rings as planned. It never switches an alarm off without telling you.

New

• Alarm history (Settings, Your alarm): what your alarm did and why. If one surprises you, tap Share and send it with your feedback. It stays on your phone.
• A day off with an alarm says why: "Day off, but Parkrun 9:00". Tonight names what moved your time ("+10 min, heavy traffic") and labels the big time "Your alarm".
• Your day's calendar is in time order, with all-day things on one line.

Fixed

• Dismissing on your watch could stop the wrong morning's alarm, so your phone still rang.
• The next-alarm card could say "Set by you" for a morning your calendar set.

Add something

• Plans you haven't put in your calendar, like breakfast with friends on Sunday at 9, go straight into First Thing: what, when and where. It plans your morning around them: "I'll wake you at 7:50: 35 min to get ready, 25 min to get there, 10 min spare."
• They stay in First Thing, not your calendar, and you can change or remove them from that morning's page. They move your alarm with or without Pro.

Fixed

• The backup alarm, used when your phone won't show the ringing screen just after a restart, now stops when you tap I'm up, and gives up after a few tries instead of every minute.
• A test alarm after a restart can no longer cancel your real alarm.
• Without Pro, an early morning your calendar wants now asks you once, out loud, instead of only a quiet note. Flights just ring, and shift workers keep their get-ready alarm.
• Undo on a learned change only puts back the days it changed, and "Take 10 min off" works even if you never set a routine.

Learning from your phone

• You → Your mornings shows what First Thing has noticed from your alarm alone: how soon you're up after it rings, and when you snooze.
• After a couple of weeks it may suggest a better time, like "You've been getting up about 18 min after your 7:30 alarm. Set 7:45 and get up first time?" It never moves your alarm without you, and you can undo anything in What I've learned.
• "I'm off" is on this morning's page every day, so home days teach it how long you take too. The check-in's "Too much" can now take 10 minutes off your routine.
• Sleep rows that need Health Connect now say how far along they are, instead of just "Learning".

Fixed

• An alarm due while your phone restarted could crash instead of ringing on Android 15 and later. It now rings a minute after the restart, and if Android ever refuses the ringing screen it rings through a full-screen notification instead.

Your week, then your calendar

• Your week comes first. A wake-up time, or no alarm, for each day. Your calendar is optional and can only ever wake you earlier, never later.
• New switch: "On my days off too". Turn it off and days with no alarm stay quiet whatever's in your calendar. Flights still wake you.

Settings, rebuilt

• Eight groups, each showing your current choice: Your alarm, Your week, Calendar, Getting ready and travel, Sleep, Notifications, Privacy and look, and Account, Pro, About.
• Your snooze length is now yours to choose, and your watch snoozes for the same time.
• Vibrate only, and sound if you don't stir, sit together under Your alarm. Words your calendar should ignore can now be added and removed.
• The You tab is now what First Thing knows about you, with a Change link for each setting.

Setting up

• Your week first, then sleep, then your calendar if you want it. A new "How you wake" step covers ring or vibrate only, snooze, your watch, and a test alarm.
• Weekends get a real time picker, and "Don't ring if I'm already up" is asked rather than switched on for you.

Smaller things

• On a morning with nothing in your calendar, your watch says "Your alarm" and why, not "Free morning".
• Steadiness on You no longer squeezes its explanation into a narrow column.
• Pro prices: £29.99 a year (£19.99 for your first year if you're eligible), £3.99 a month, or £79.99 once.

Mornings

• Until midday the app opens on this morning. Once you're up it shows last night: when your alarm rang, when you got up, and your sleep from Health Connect. Tomorrow's alarm is one tap away instead of the first thing you see.
• +5 min on your watch. Running late? Tap +5 min under the leave-by countdown, and the countdown on your watch face and your phone both move.

Fixed

• A flat watch could make your phone ring 2 minutes late. Your phone waits a moment so your watch can buzz first; if the watch had died overnight it still waited. Now it checks at your alarm time and rings on time if your watch isn't there.
• The next-alarm notification stays until your alarm rings, instead of disappearing at the planned time.
• The ringing screen no longer says "First up: First Thing" on a morning with nothing in your calendar. It says why it rang.

Smaller things

• Tonight's bedtime tile says how much sleep it gives you, and only mentions the wind-down nudge if you've turned it on.
• Steadiness shows a word (Steady, Very steady) instead of a bare number, and the "default" tags are gone from Your morning.
• Settings has What's new (this page) and Check for updates.

• Change a morning from your wrist. Switch it off, turn it back on, go back to the planned time, keep a time, or set a new alarm with the crown.
• The watch now says which morning it means ("Wednesday morning"), and shows when a time was set by you or moved by your calendar ("Moved from 7:30").
• The tile uses the same words and buttons, and shows your bedtime and how much sleep you'll get.
• Labels fit properly on smaller watches.

Quieter

• One quiet notification instead of many. It shows your next alarm and bedtime, and updates itself when your calendar moves things, instead of sending a new notification each time.
• In the morning it turns into your leave-by countdown.
• Only things that need you make a sound: your alarm can't ring, a time you set clashes with your calendar, or you're running late.
• The wind-down reminder and morning check-in are now off unless you switch them on (Settings → Notifications).

New

• Vibrate only (Settings → Your alarm). It buzzes first and adds sound if you don't wake up. You choose how long, or switch the sound off completely.
• A better way to set times: a big readout with − and +, quick picks, and a line saying what your choice means. Tap the number to type an exact time.

Fixed

• The morning check-in no longer asks about mornings where you set the alarm yourself.

• First Thing only sets an alarm it knows you can stop. If notifications, alarms or full-screen alerts are switched off, it won't set one. Tonight shows what to turn on instead.
• Volume buttons snooze a ringing alarm, like most alarm clocks.
• Opening First Thing while it rings takes you straight to Stop and Snooze.

Thank you to the tester who reported an alarm they couldn't stop. That report changed how First Thing sets alarms for everyone.

• "No alarm" on the evening notification switches the morning off in one tap, with "Turn back on" right there.
• Clearer wording: pages say which morning they're about ("Tonight · Tuesday morning") instead of a vague "tomorrow". After midnight it says "This morning".

Alarm time

• A flight or shift between midnight and 3am now gets its own alarm.
• On a sleep-in day, an afternoon flight that needs a morning start now wakes you for it.
• Course codes like "CS101" aren't mistaken for flights.
• All-day events land on the right day everywhere.

Ringing and watch

• Snoozing on your phone tells your watch.
• After a restart the alarm rings once, not twice. A watch snooze survives a restart.
• Setting a morning again after dismissing it re-arms the watch.

New

• Start again (Settings): clears this phone and runs set-up from the beginning. Pro and your backup stay.

• An alarm you set yourself is never changed. If your calendar needs you up earlier, First Thing asks first.
• No calendar? Set-up now has "Skip, I'll set my times".
• Tomorrow's notification goes away once you've answered it.
• No more "Your alarm won't ring" warnings for mornings you've already dismissed or skipped.

• With a watch, it buzzes first. Your phone only rings if you haven't dismissed on the watch within 2 minutes (Settings → Your alarm).
• Tablets don't ring unless you switch on "Ring on this device".
• An unanswered alarm rings for about 25 minutes, then stops and tells you.

• A wake-up time for each day (You → How your days work): gym Wednesdays at 6:15, a lie-in on Fridays, weekends free.
• Each day shows the bedtime it means. "Same for every weekday" sets a group in one go.
• Your calendar can still make any day earlier, never later.
• Turning shift work on and off keeps your usual week.
• Watch: smart wake no longer risks a crash while the watch is charging.

• See how your alarm is worked out (You → Your mornings): your first thing, minus getting there and getting ready, equals your alarm. Every setting says what it changes.
• Set any time exactly, including 0. Presets are just suggestions.
• Tap your bedtime on Tonight to change it for one night. Your alarm stays put.
• Up before your alarm? First Thing notices and starts your morning from then.
• Live travel (Pro) ignores impossible journey times and asks before a big move.
• Founding testers get Pro free for the whole test.
• Google sign-in fixed. All notifications use the new card design.

• First Thing opens to testers on Google Play, phone and Wear OS.
