## What is Breakthrough Alarm?

Never miss the important thing you promised yourself you would do. Breakthrough Alarm schedules exact-date task alarms that interrupt like an alarm, not a quiet reminder.

Use it for paperwork, calls, errands, appointments, deadlines, and anything that needs to break through your day.

Key features:

- Schedule alarms for a specific future date and time
- See the task title directly on the alarm
- Snooze when you need more time
- Mark the task Done only when it is actually handled
- Sync tagged Apple Calendar events using #alarm or the alarm clock emoji
- Optionally turn every calendar event into an alarm
- Temporarily silence all alarms while previewing what is due within 24 hours
- Keep a history and duplicate completed alarms
- Choose from multiple alarm sounds
- See upcoming alarms in Home Screen widgets
- Store alarm data locally on your device

Use up to five active alarms for free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited active alarms. Calendar access is optional and used only for calendar sync.

Requires iOS 26 or later and AlarmKit access.
