What's New in Breakthrough Alarm

0.2.65

September 12, 2026

This update makes completing alarms safer and snoozing more flexible. - Active alarms now stand out clearly in the Alarms list so you can immediately see what still needs to be handled. - Completion now happens inside Breakthrough Alarm, preventing accidental completion from the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, widgets, or physical-button actions. - Choose a default Snooze duration for each alarm, or press and hold Snooze in the app for a longer one-time delay. - Unlocking Unlimited Alarms automatically turns on alarms paused by the free limit while still respecting Silence Mode. - Includes reliability and interface improvements.

Promising start but needs a lot of work

Installed specifically because it supports snooze through phone buttons, which may be rare. The most critical missing feature is that you canโ€™t create a repeating alarm. That knocks off two stars right there. Also having no way to clear the history is a significant issue. History feature is great, but need a way to clear one item or all. Would be great if possible, but I can imagine it might not be, if a task can be marked done on the home screen without needing to login. Also super helpful would be integration with iOS shortcut so a shortcut can be used to create an alarm. Specifically I want to create an alarm using my voice to trigger the shortcut. Direct integration with Siri would the amazing and also make shortcut integration less critical, but I can imagine that might be more difficult and maybe not even be possible.
