Perfect for alternating schedules. • Specific Week Numbers — Pick exact weeks (1–53) for your alarm to fire. Ideal for shift workers and rotating schedules. • Day Interval — Repeat an alarm every 2 to 30 days, independent of weekdays.

They start again automatically when you're back. • Next 7 Days & Calendar — See every upcoming alarm at a glance and skip one with a single tap, plus a calendar with week numbers and odd/even weeks. • Ring History — See which alarms rang today, how many times you snoozed and when you turned them off. • Live Activity — See your snooze countdown right on your Lock Screen with a cancel button. • Clean Design — Simple, intuitive interface that gets out of your way.
