How in-app calls work

Your Agent can reach you two ways: a regular phone call to your number (US and Canada), or a call inside the FineStreak app. In-app calls work in every country FineStreak is available in, and they are the only kind of call outside the US and Canada.

What an in-app call looks like

At the time you set, your phone rings the way it does for any call. On iPhone you see Apple's own call screen with "FineStreak Agent" as the caller. Answer it and you are talking to your Agent, same as on a phone call. When you open the app afterwards, the call is on your screen with a mute button and a speaker button.

The call lands at the time you chose for that goal. Nothing rings at random.

What the app does if the ring cannot get through

A Focus mode or the silent switch can stop an incoming call from ringing. When that happens, FineStreak does one thing instead: the app sounds an alarm at the same time, with a banner that says "Your Agent is calling for [goal]. Tap to answer." Tap the banner, tap Answer, and the alarm stops and the call connects.

You can avoid the alarm altogether by saving the FineStreak Agent contact and turning on Emergency Bypass. That lets the call ring through silent and Focus like a normal call. The steps are in Make sure you hear your check-in.

Wake-up goals and "Alarm first"

For a Wake Up Call goal, or any call goal where you turned on "Alarm first" in the goal's settings, the alarm sounds first at the scheduled time. Tap it, tap Answer, and the call connects. This is the loudest option, because the alarm plays at full volume even with the ringer down.

Keep the app in the background

Closing FineStreak from the app switcher (swiping it away) stops the app from ringing you itself. On iOS 26 and later, Apple's own alarm still sounds and its Stop button opens the app onto the call. On older versions of iOS you get a notification only, which is silent at ringer zero. Leave the app in the background and everything above works as described.

US and Canada members

If you have a phone number on your account and the in-app call goes unanswered, your Agent follows up with a regular phone call to your number. Members outside the US and Canada finish at the alarm step, which is the loud one anyway.
