Don’t turn off, just minus. Don’t disable your alarm entirely. Just "subtract" the dates you don't need. Have you ever turned off your alarm for a holiday, a business trip, or a sick day, only to forget to turn it back on the next day? We’ve all been there. That moment of panic when you realize you’ve overslept. Minus Alarm was built to stop that mistake forever. Instead of risking it all by turning off the master switch, simply use the calendar to "Minus" (remove) specific dates safely. [Wait, is this just a silent notification?] No. Minus Alarm is not just a standard push notification app. We utilize Apple’s official iOS AlarmKit. This means it functions exactly like the native iPhone Clock app—loud, reliable, and guaranteed to break through silent mode to wake you up. Sleep tight knowing we’ve got you covered. [Perfect For] Frequent Travelers: Manage alarms across erratic schedules and trips. Shift Workers: Nurses, police officers, firefighters, and factory workers with rotating rosters. Working Parents: Co-parenting couples who swap school drop-off duties. The Planners: People who find peace of mind by organizing their schedule weeks in advance. [What Minus Alarm Does For You] Don’t "Turn Off," Just "Skip" Want to sleep in just for today? Don’t touch the toggle switch. Just hit ‘Skip.’ It skips today’s alarm but automatically resumes tomorrow. No more forgetting to turn it back on. Visual Calendar Management Lists are confusing. Now, see exactly when your alarms will ring on a calendar view. Tap any date to add or remove (Skip) an alarm instantly. It’s intuitive and mistake-proof. Set Date Ranges (Start - End) “I only need to wake up at 6 AM for this business trip (Mon-Thu).” Simply set a start and end date. The alarm will ring during that period and stop automatically when the trip is over. No need to delete it later. Master Complex Shifts Day shift, night shift, off days... is your roster a mess? Create group patterns and map them onto your calendar. Even if your shift changes last minute, adjust it in seconds by tapping the calendar. [Important: How Calendar Sync Works] Minus Alarm displays your native iOS Calendar events (like holidays or meetings) within the app for your convenience. Visual Reference Only: Seeing a “9 AM Meeting” on the calendar does NOT automatically create an alarm. You are in Control: Use your schedule as a guide to manually decide when you need an alarm. [Do More with Premium] The basics are free, but power users can unlock more freedom: Unlimited Alarms: Create as many alarms as you need. Advanced Shift Management: Manage complex rotating shifts on the calendar. Calendar Overlay: Sync your iPhone’s calendar events to the background to avoid scheduling errors.
