Hello, I have been a long time android user for over a decade now so I have a lot of workflows figured out that I am now trying to replicate on ios. My main one I haven’t found a replacement for just yet is for my sleep tracking/smart alarm setup. I’m not sure what combination of apps would let me accomplish a similar experience or if some things just aren’t supported on ios. I have a 12 Pro Max on IOS 17b3.

My Android set up I’m looking to replicate is: Sleep As Android, Spotify, Tasker, IFTTT, and Phillips Hue

Sleep As Android did sleep tracking, white noise (playing at the same time as Audible audiobook), smart wake up (tracking sleep cycle and waking me up earlier if it thinks I’m in a light sleep), and automation triggering.

Upon starting bedtime/sleep tracking in Sleep, it would trigger IFTTT to turn off my Hue bulbs

When deep sleep is detected, it would trigger Tasker to turn off Bluetooth and stop audio playback (this is flexible I just want a way to disconnect from bluetooth and stop audio playback once I am asleep)

When alarm starts, it would trigger IFTTT to turn on my Hue lights and start playing a Spotify playlist at a slowly increasing volume.

To turn off my alarm I had to scan a QR code. This is the most consistent way I’ve found to actually get me up in the morning so its pretty important to me.

If you have any suggestions for replacing parts of this please share them! Thanks!

    I’m not sure about the sleep tracking part. You could use the shortcuts app to do a lot of what you’re after I think. Specifically the QR code, you could replace it with an NFC tag (you can buy them cheap from Amazon or aliexpress). Set your shortcut to stop the alarm when you scan the tab. Might be able to set up the same thing for going to bed. Scan the tag, lights turn off, alarm gets set, music starts. Something like that.

    Best of luck!
