If you set several alarms to get up, MultiAlarm saves you from setting them one by one. Pick your first alarm, choose how many you want and how far apart they should ring, then manage them as a single series. Organize alarms into groups for different routines and give the final alarm a different sound so you know it’s the last one. Use MultiAlarm free, or unlock Pro with a subscription or one-time purchase. Pro lets you create series of up to 20 alarms, customize each interval, import your own sounds, and turn all alarms or a whole group on or off together. Questions, issues, or feedback?
