Three usual suspects: notification permission for earlybed is off (check Settings → Notifications → earlybed), Do Not Disturb / a Focus mode is silencing it, or the app was force-quit. The reminder is a local one scheduled on your device, so it needs the app's permission and a device that's on. Toggling the reminder off and on again in the app's Settings re-schedules it.

Yes. In the app: Settings → "Pre-bedtime notification" toggle. One ping is the whole point, but it's entirely optional.

Strict and simple: you get credit for a night only if you check in at or before your goal bedtime. No grace period — the honesty is what makes the streak mean something. Checking in late still logs the night, it just doesn't extend the streak.

Anything before 6am counts toward the previous night, so a 12:40am check-in is credited to the night that started the evening before.

The first check-in of a night is the one that counts, and it can't be overwritten. To clear everything and start fresh, use Settings → "Reset all sleep data." (This is local data — it can't be recovered, so be sure.)

Yes, fully. Everything works without paying. The "Support the watchdog" treats (coffee, pizza, cake) are optional gestures of kindness that buy the watchdog a snack and you some warm fuzzies — not locked features.

Treats are consumable on purpose: a one-off gesture, nothing to equip or restore. The thank-you is immediate and the ledger is karma. If a purchase was charged but you didn't see the thank-you, or you were billed twice, email me and I'll sort it out.

Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com and request it there — I don't process payments or refunds myself.

Until the App Store catalog loads, the tiers show placeholder prices ("Prices are approximate until the store connects"). That's usually a network hiccup or a region/store glitch. Relaunch the app or try again shortly. It doesn't affect anything else.

Only on your device, in the app's own local database. There are no servers, no accounts, and no analytics. Nothing you log is ever transmitted to us. See the Privacy Policy for the full (refreshingly short) story.

Not by us. earlybed has no sync feature. If your own iCloud device backup happens to include the app's data, that's an Apple OS backup governed by your settings — earlybed itself never sends anything anywhere.
