Common questions
Momentum needs notification permissions to fire alarms. Open your iPhone's Settings app, find Momentum, and make sure Notifications are set to Allow. Also check that your alarm is toggled on in the app and is scheduled for a future time. If it's set for a time that already passed today, it'll fire tomorrow.
For best results, prop your phone up so your full body is visible from the side or slightly in front. Good lighting helps a lot — bright rooms work much better than dark ones. Make sure your whole movement range is visible (for push-ups, both the up and down position need to be in frame). If you're having persistent trouble, try a different challenge type in your alarm settings.
Tap any alarm on the home screen to open the edit view. From there you can change the time, days, challenge type, rep count, and alarm sound. Changes take effect immediately — there's no save button to forget.
A streak day is counted when you go through the full alarm flow — alarm fires, camera challenge completes, dismissed screen appears. If the app was force-closed during a challenge, or if the challenge was skipped, that day doesn't register. The streak is saved locally on your device, so uninstalling and reinstalling the app will also reset it.
Morning Lock-in is a feature that blocks the apps you choose — social media, news, whatever pulls you in first — for up to 90 minutes after your alarm dismissal. It uses Apple's Screen Time framework, which requires a special entitlement from Apple. We've applied for it and are waiting on approval. It'll be available in an upcoming update at no extra cost.
Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account & Data. This permanently erases all your alarms, streak history, and app data from your device. It can't be undone. All data is stored locally — we don't keep a copy anywhere.
No. Your alarm data, streak, and settings live entirely on your device. Your camera feed is processed on-device in real time for exercise detection — nothing is recorded or transmitted. We have no servers storing your information. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
