Pause all alarms with one tap, with Siri, or with a Focus. No end date needed. Each evening before a skipped alarm, SkipAlarm reminds you, and you can resume your alarms right from the notification. Pausing is available during the free trial or with Pro. Heads-up the evening before If an alarm is skipped tomorrow, rings at a different time, or rings on an extra day, SkipAlarm tells you the evening before: “No alarm tomorrow – Christmas Day.” On regular days, it stays quiet. You can turn the heads-up off in Settings. Traveling Alarms can now ring at home time, for example for a call with your team back home, with the local time shown below. After a change of time zone, you see right away when your next alarm rings and what time it will be at home. Alarms that are already scheduled now reliably follow the new local time. Alarms for every rhythm Besides weekdays, alarms can now repeat every few weeks, follow rotations for shift work, every other day, or custody schedules, or ring just once and turn off afterwards. Templates like “2 on, 2 off” and “Add Another Shift” make setup quick, and a preview shows the next days. Bridge days The Vacations tab suggests bridge days. One tap, and your alarm stays off. Widget, Control Center, and Siri The “Next Alarm” widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen shows your next alarm and skipped days. “Skip Tomorrow” is available in Control Center, on the Lock Screen, and for the Action button. With Siri and Shortcuts, skip a day, add a vacation, turn alarms on or off, or ask for your next alarm. Great on iPad Alarms as cards like in the Clock app, split views, menu bar commands, keyboard shortcuts, and multiple selection. Vacations and days off have their own tab, grouped into current, planned, and past. Also Home time and UTC next to alarm times, country flags, years shown for dates outside the current year, undo for deleting, and many small improvements. ### 1.2 — 2026-10-24 What's New in SkipAlarm 1.2 Change the time for a single day Need to be up an hour earlier on Tuesday for a business trip?
