What's New in AlarmK

1.3.0

August 31, 2026

Most of this update makes the alarm ring when it should. Several had been failing quietly in versions already shipped. Alarms that didn't ring ● Snoozing once also deleted that alarm's registrations for every other weekday, so a Mon–Fri alarm had nothing scheduled for the rest of the week until the app was opened again. Snooze now replaces only the occurrence it postponed. ● A save that failed to schedule left the alarm switched ON in the list with nothing behind it. It is now switched off, and the app says why. ● Tapping "Start mission" while the alarm rang didn't stop the system alarm's sound or vibration. It now stops the moment the mission opens. ● On the notification delivery path, alarms asked for an interruption level this app isn't entitled to, so Sleep Focus suppressed every re-ring and the wake re-check. They now use the level the app has. ● On that path, an alarm with no mission chimed once and stopped. It now keeps ringing until you turn it off. ● In the QR/barcode mission, reading one wrong code stopped the scanner for good, which could leave you unable to dismiss the alarm. ● A quick "in N minutes" alarm could ring up to a minute late. It now rings exactly N minutes from the tap. ● After a reinstall, restored one-off alarms came back switched off. ● Also fixed: deleting an alarm from its edit screen could quit the app, saving an edit switched a deliberately-off alarm back on, and tapping an alarm notification on a cold start did nothing. Permissions and iOS 26 ● iOS 26 is now the minimum. Below it there is no AlarmKit, so an alarm can only arrive as a notification — and with the ringer switch on Silent, a notification cannot make a sound. On iOS 25 and below, 1.2.0 stays available. ● With the system alarm permission off, new alarms can't be saved or switched on. Without it an alarm arrives as a notification, and with the ringer on Silent there is no sound at all — the app cannot read that switch, so it would be saving a silent alarm. Alarms you already have are left alone, turning an alarm off always works, and granting the permission in Settings clears the notice. ● Delivery is described the same way everywhere: an alarm scheduled as a notification says so in the list, the home screen speaks up when AlarmK's notification sound is off, and the Critical Mode checklist reads the real delivery path instead of green where the permission is denied. iCloud and your data ● iCloud sync works again. For the past few months, changes made on this iPhone were not reaching iCloud: alarms stayed on the device and rang as usual, but they did not reach a second device or come back after a reinstall. The cause sat outside the app and is fixed; 1.2.0 works again too, with no update needed. Settings now shows sync status instead of staying quiet. ● Settings → Erase data now actually erases — it failed with an error in every released version until now. If one step fails the rest still run, and the app tells you what was left behind. Everything else ● All eight missions can be rehearsed before you rely on one. QR/barcode practice runs with no code registered, and a mission that needs a permission can turn it on there. ● New alarms start with the math mission, so a mission you never picked can't block your first save. Pick QR/barcode with no code registered and the app opens registration, then finishes the save. ● Onboarding can be completed without creating an alarm, and the wake report now leads to the App Store rating screen. ● Skip public holidays now appears only on devices set to the Korea region — the table holds Korean statutory holidays only, so elsewhere the switch did nothing. Alarms that already use it still show it. ● Fixed: tab screens could be dragged sideways, the delete confirmation pointed at the wrong row with Cancel off-screen, the shift-pattern day count broke onto two lines, and the wake report clipped at large text sizes. ● Contact is now support@alarmk.com; the site is alarmk.com.

Missing feature

App does not show up in the app list which allows AlarmK to breakthrough when focus mode is activated

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this — you were right, and it's fixed in 1.2.0. On iOS 26 we scheduled alarms through AlarmKit and never requested notification permission, so AlarmK stayed unlisted in Settings › Notifications — and the Focus "Allowed Notifications › Apps" picker reads that same list. Alarms did still ring through Focus, but you had no way to see or control that, which is a fair thing to call missing. The app now registers for notifications so it appears in that list, and there's a banner in the alarm list for anyone who set the app up before the change. Sorry for the confusion. If it still misbehaves after updating, our support address is on the product page and we read everything that comes in.
