Repeat Alarm removes the hassle of creating many alarms 5 minutes apart. With one repeat alarm you can set a start time, end time, and interval to automatically fire within a time window. You can also create standard one-off alarms. Designed for clarity and speed, the app keeps your alarm list tidy while giving you the flexibility of repeating alarms and interval alarms. === Highlights === Repeat alarm within a time window: set Start, End, and Interval (for example 5 to 120 minutes) and let it ring automatically in that range. Weekday selection: choose any combination of days (weekdays only, weekends only, custom). Standard alarms: create simple one-time alarms with the same smooth workflow. Vibrate only option: notify by vibration without sound (behavior depends on device settings). Sound selection: pick a tone you like for normal alarms. Clean list view: see label, days, time range, and interval at a glance; toggle on or off instantly. Intuitive editing: switch between repeat alarm and normal alarm and adjust parameters with minimal taps. Localization: Japanese and English. English weekdays use short labels (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat). === Use cases === Wake up: 7:00 to 7:30 at a 5 minute interval to prevent oversleeping. Study or work: Pomodoro style with 25 minutes focus + 5 minutes break using a repeating alarm. Exercise and stretching: periodic reminders at a fixed interval. Hydration and chores: repeating notifications throughout the day to build habits. === Why it helps === Traditionally you might create 6 separate alarms at 5 minute steps. With Repeat Alarm, you define one repeat alarm with Start, End, and Interval to achieve the same behavior. Creation, editing, and deletion all happen in one place, so there is less clutter, fewer mistakes, and faster adjustments. Your schedule stays clear and easy to manage. === How it works === Choose repeat alarm or standard alarm. For a repeat alarm, set Start, End, and the Interval. The app schedules notifications at every interval within the time window on the selected weekdays. For a standard alarm, set a single time and optional repeat days. Turn alarms on or off from the list; swipe to delete; tap to edit. === FAQ === Q. Can I use vibration only without sound? A. Yes. Enable Vibrate Only. Actual vibration behavior depends on the device Sound and Haptics settings. Q. Will it notify in the background? A. Yes. The app uses local notifications. Make sure notifications are allowed in system settings. Q. Does the interval alarm support different languages or weekday styles? A. Yes. The app supports Japanese and English. In English we show short weekday labels (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat) to keep the layout compact. === Notes === Notification sounds must follow iOS limitations. Vibration and sound behavior depend on device settings.
