Twitter Integration

The feature you’ve been waiting for is finally here. You may now optionally enable the Twitter feature which will send a Tweet to your eager followers to notify them that you’ve woken up.

Twitter Integration

When interacting with the internet, we take privacy seriously.

  • We use a modern method to authenticate with Twitter. Because of this, we  DO NOT store your Twitter username or password and actually unable to do so due to using the proper Twitter authentication method.
  • We believe in asking for the minimal amount of permissions possible and we only send tweets as you’ve configured.
    • We DO NOT read your timeline
    • We will NEVER see who you follow or add new people your follow
    • We WILL NOT alter your profile.

Activating the Twitter option

If you ever decide that you’d like to enable an automatic tweet to be sent when you dismiss your alarm, you must first activate it in the Application Settings.

Access the Settings by going to the top right of the application and opening what is referred to as the Overflow Menu.

That’s it to activate the Twitter option, but you still must enable Twitter for each alarm that you want to be announced to the world.
