So - we’ve been calling this Awaken 2.7 for a while now - but as of today it is Awaken 3.0 and for a few good reasons. It was almost a complete re-write from the previous version, we added some nice new features, and we got a new professionally designed icon.
Thanks in part to daylight savings time giving me an extra hour tonight, I was able to put in an additional feature - which has been requested by quite a few people. The ability to select a particular podcast for an alarm or the sleep timer. Up until now you have only had the option to choose “Podcasts”. Here is a screenshot to illustrate:
And as the title says - Awaken 3.0 Beta 1 is ready.
If you would like to download the beta we ask that you report any bugs to support@embraceware.com, with Awaken 3 in the subject line. If a crash occurs - a copy of the crash report would be ideal. At this point I have fixed all of the bugs I have found in my testing before posting this beta.

Subscribe to the blog feed or keep checking back for updates on the beta. I will be addressing bugs as they come in and will be posted an update whenever a fix is completed.
Thanks for your support!

I just purchased Awaken 2.6 a little while ago. Will there be a free upgrade or at least a upgrade price for the new version?

Hi Metric,
You’ll be pleased to hear that all updates to Awaken are free - whether it be a minor or major update.
Version 3.0 is a beta at the moment - this is why Awaken 2.6 hasn’t informed you about a new version being available yet. Once 3.0 is a final release, 2.6 will inform you and offer to upgrade itself. You can still download the 3.0 beta now and replace 2.6 manualy if you like.

Fantastic! I wasn’t expecting this till tomorrow. Thanks a lot Jerry.
The preferences look a tonne better. In fact, everything looks way better.
One disappointment, however… After reading a post in the forum i was under the impression you were increasing the fade in length maximum. Is this still coming?
Thanks again, love your work.

Hi Dylan,
The fade option will be extended in beta 2 - expect it in a couple of days from now.
Thanks for the great feedback!

Hi,
Awaken 3 is awesome, great work Jerry, really !!
There is ONE big request i’d like to make now : can you add a quick way to add an alarm for TODAY, and TOMORROW, at a specific time ?
Maybe below the calendar, a small checkbor for these two options, that would be fantastic ! (for me at least)
Because playing with calendar is not very fun when you’re tired,
Thanks,
Sam
