Multiple Alarms with Three Simple Steps: By selecting a start time, end time, and notification interval, then tapping the alarm button, you can set alarms at specified intervals for the designated time period. Easily Register Favorites: Once you've set an alarm, just tap the “Add to Favorites” button. After that, you can load that alarm anytime with a single tap. Simple Design: It’s easy to use because there are no unnecessary features besides the alarm! Works in Sleep Mode for Your Peace of Mind: The alarm continues to ring only when your device is in sleep mode or on the lock screen, so it won’t bother you once you’re already awake. Important Note: Because this app uses notifications for alarms, if your device is in silent mode or set to vibrate only (where notification sounds are turned off), the alarm will not sound.
