01 / App intro
Tap Sweet dreams! on Home to start. Leave SleepyCorgi on screen, then press the side button to lock your phone.
Reach your session’s wake time to earn a successful night. If you leave temporarily, return within your chosen limit and before locking.
02 / App intro
Choose your bedtime and target sleep duration in Bedtime Schedule.
You can start from 30 minutes before bedtime until 15 minutes after. Your session runs for the target duration from when you start; check its displayed wake time.
03 / App intro
Open Bedtime Schedule → Block Distracting Apps. Allow Screen Time access, then choose apps or categories.
Blocking applies during a started sleep session. Choose an available restriction level to control short breaks. iOS permissions and restrictions still apply.
04 / App intro
In Settings → Swiping away the app, choose your return limit. If you leave, return before it expires and before locking your phone.
Choose your Reminder days separately. Sleep sessions are available every day, even when reminders are off.
05 / App intro
Open Settings → Set Up Sleep Focus Automation, then follow the steps in Apple’s Shortcuts app.
This optional automation opens SleepyCorgi when Sleep Focus turns on. Start your sleep session yourself when you’re ready.
06 / App intro
Your puppy grows after 5 successful nights and reaches maturity after 15. Earned growth stays with you after missed nights.
Open Corgi Gallery to see portraits and their unlock requirements. Tap your corgi for a little interaction.
Good questions
A session must reach its displayed wake time. Ending early or exceeding your return limit can end a session without a successful night. If you leave the app, return within your limit and before locking your phone. iOS signals are best effort, so always lock with SleepyCorgi visible.
No. SleepyCorgi records the outcome of a session you start. It does not measure biological sleep, diagnose sleep problems, or continuously monitor your phone use.
Check your Reminder days in SleepyCorgi Settings and allow notifications in iPhone Settings → Notifications → SleepyCorgi. Also check whether a Focus is silencing notifications. Reminders and session eligibility are separate.
Open the sleep screen and tap “Emergency or end session”, then follow the confirmation. A deliberately ended session does not earn a successful night. Always use your phone when you need it.
Check Screen Time permission and your app selection in Bedtime Schedule → Block Distracting Apps. Blocking begins when a sleep session starts. Available breaks depend on the selected restriction level and your plan. iOS manages enforcement.
SleepyCorgi Pro provides session access. The in-app purchase screen shows available plans, prices, and trial eligibility before you confirm. A seven-day trial is shown only when Apple confirms an eligible offer. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled.
Use Restore Purchases in Settings → SleepyCorgi Pro with the Apple Account used for the purchase. Manage or cancel in Apple subscriptions. For a trial you don’t want to renew, Apple advises cancelling at least 24 hours before it ends. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Request refunds through Apple’s Report a Problem.
In Settings → Preferences → iCloud & Backup, enable iCloud progress sync before changing devices and check the last-sync time. On the new iPhone, sign in to the same iCloud account and enable sync to merge your corgi growth, earned rewards, and finished session history. Sync is optional and does not require a subscription. Active sessions, blocking selections, bedtime settings, and reminders stay on each device. Apple device backups are a separate recovery option; sync is not a history of recoverable backups.
Deleting the app removes its local app data from that device. An existing iCloud progress copy, device backups, and Apple or RevenueCat purchase records are separate. Turning sync off or deleting the app does not remove an existing iCloud copy; manage app data through your Apple iCloud storage settings. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
