Since macOS Mojave, all apps need to request explicit user permissions to perform certain actions, like accessing files or folders, even the ones in your Desktop or Downloads folders. This means apps in macOS are now more restricted than ever, which makes macOS very secure, because apps are very limited in what they can do.
#Wakefy credibility series#
MacOS Mojave (macOS 10.14, September 2018) introduced a series of hardened security measures for all apps in order to operate in Mac computers. We'll try our best to explain why these permissions are required, and what do we do to ensure granting Wakefy these permissions is not a threat to you or your Mac computer. These permissions are critical and Wakefy can't work without them. In order to work, Wakefy requires «Full Disk Access» permissions, which need to be granted in the «Security & Privacy» macOS preferences pane. Please connect your MacBook to a power outlet or just put it to sleep: Wakefy can wake up a Macbook from sleep mode running just on battery.
If your lid is completely closed, the Macbook will go into sleep mode inmediatly after Wakefy wakes it up, before the alarm goes off.Īlso, MacBooks prevent auto-wakeup when the computer is completely powered off and a power cord is not connected. If you're using a MacBook, please keep your lid slightly open. Please enable automatic login or just put your computer to sleep instead of turning it completely off. Password-protected login prevents any program from launching unless you manually enter your password. Sound won't come off loud enough through headphones, so please make always sure no headphones are plugged in before going to sleep. That's why you need the official app installed and an active internet connection. Wakefy uses your current Spotify app to wake you up.
In any case, always test Wakefy under your current setup first to ensure it will work in the morning. Please always use backup alarms, Wakefy is under continuous improvement and development and may contain bugs that may prevent the alarm from going off under untested scenarios.
