Rotating shifts. On-call weeks. A gym class that moves every day. If your alarms can't keep up with your schedule, VariAlarm can. VariAlarm is an alarm clock and schedule planner for people whose weeks don't repeat. Plan alarms on real dates, reuse your shift patterns, and change one morning without touching the rest. CHANGE ONE DAY, NOT THE WHOLE WEEK • Skip tomorrow's alarm – the schedule carries on by itself, nothing to switch back on • Move or edit a single occurrence without breaking the series • Pause alarms until tomorrow, the end of the week, or any date PLAN BY DATE, NOT JUST BY WEEKDAY • Set alarms for specific future dates • Repeat every 2–12 weeks and choose an end date • See alarms and calendar events side by side SAVE YOUR SHIFTS ONCE, REUSE THEM ANYWHERE • Alarm Templates: save the alarms for an early, late, or night shift and apply them to the days you work • Alarm Routines: a sequence of alarms spaced from one start time – move the start and every alarm follows • Running late? Shift every alarm in a routine or template by the same number of minutes in one step • Alarm Groups keep work, gym, and weekend alarms apart LET YOUR CALENDAR SET THE ALARM Calendar Automation matches events by keyword and creates the alarm for you. Example: every event called “Early shift” at 7:00 AM gets a wake-up alarm 2 hours before. Run rules yourself or through Shortcuts. Get Ready estimates when to start getting ready from the event time, where you're going, and the expected weather. WAKE UP YOUR WAY • Crescendo fades the volume in gently • Use your own songs as alarm sounds • Challenge Wake helps you stay up • Sleep Sounds to wind down, Timer Sets for multi-step countdowns ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities, Apple Watch, Siri, Shortcuts, and optional iCloud sync across your devices. SMARTER PLANNING Turn a photo or screenshot of your roster into events you review first. Create alarms, routines, and templates by voice. Smart Prep looks over tomorrow, and Weather-Aware Wake can suggest an earlier alarm when conditions may slow you down. Nothing is created or changed until you approve it. VARIALARM PRO Free to download. VariAlarm Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Feature availability depends on your VariAlarm plan, iOS version, device, region, and permissions. Apple Intelligence features require a compatible device.
