The alarm clock

The morning briefing

At liftoff the countdown hands over to the day: weather, your calendar, what’s due and the news, in numbers rather than adjectives.

What’s in it

The header: a greeting, the time and date, and the rain hint for the next hour.
Weather: the temperature and summary, “Feels like” (or RealFeel with AccuWeather), sunrise and sunset, any weather alert and a 12-hour strip. Each part names its source.
Your day: Today or Tomorrow with countdowns, and what’s due today and tomorrow.
Last night: only when someone shares sleep data.
Space: the next launch with its T-minus, whether it’s visible from home, and the ISS when it passes high.
News: a couple of headlines, space news and one AI-made line, labelled as AI.
A picture of the day and, at the foot, plan limits.

The briefing also shows the alarm controls while the alarm is still ringing: Snooze, I’m up and Scrub.

How long it stays

An alarm briefing stays until you choose Done, or until the Briefing stays up time runs out: 1 h, 2 h (the default), 3 h or until noon, counted from the original wake. I’m up and reconnecting don’t extend it. Change it in Settings › Night & alarm on a wall or TV, or Night › Crew & snooze defaults on Apple.

Open it any time

Tap the Weather tile on the panel, the Today tile on a TV, or a weather alert. An on-demand briefing closes after 45 minutes on the panel and 30 minutes on a TV.

Coming next

Go / No-Go Concept: one line at the top of the briefing. When an input is stale, it gives no verdict. Examples from the design:

Checks incomplete · weather as of 6:10 AM
Go. Dry until 6:00 PM · first event 9:30 AM
No-Go: severe thunderstorm warning until 9:00 AM
