## What is Alarma?

Set the rule once. Alarma creates the right alarm, every time, and it always rings.

Alarma turns your calendar into alarms automatically. Tell it "wake me 2 hours before every shift" and it sets each alarm for you, then moves or removes it when your roster changes. Made for nurses, doctors, paramedics, hospitality, retail and anyone whose wake-up time depends on what's on tomorrow.

AUTOMATIC ALARMS FROM YOUR CALENDAR
• Choose a calendar and filter events by name, like "Shift", "Doctor" or "Pay"
• Decide how long before each event you want to wake up
• Alarms follow your events: moved shifts move the alarm, cancelled shifts remove it
• Preview exactly which alarms a rule will create before you save it

MORE WAYS TO AUTOMATE
• Sunrise & sunset: wake with the sun, or get a nudge to wind down at sunset
• Commute: tell Alarma when you need to arrive and how long you need to get ready, and it works out the travel time for you
• Location: set an alarm when you arrive at or leave a place

SLEEP IN ON PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Alarma knows public holidays in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US and Canada. Get a reminder the evening before and choose which alarms to skip, or let Alarma skip them for you.

A PROPER ALARM CLOCK
• Rings through Silent mode and Focus using iPhone alarms with AlarmKit
• Snooze, custom alarm sounds and an optional heads-up countdown before it rings
• Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with Stop and Snooze
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that work in StandBy too
• Apple Watch app with wrist haptics, Stop and Snooze
• Syncs with iCloud: your alarms and automations on every device, with a per-device switch for which ones ring
• Siri & Shortcuts: "What's my next alarm?", set, turn off or delete alarms by voice
• Bedtime reminders to help you wind down

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Alarma only reads your calendars and never changes your events. No account, no ads, no tracking.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Buy once, keep it. No subscription.
