Alarm Pro is a smart alarm clock built for shift work, rotating schedules, and irregular routines. Set up your schedule once, and Alarm Pro will automatically manage your upcoming alarms. It’s ideal for nurses, doctors, manufacturing workers, security guards, and anyone whose workdays change. 【SMART SHIFT SCHEDULES】 Create multiple schedules with different alarm times, names, and colors. Pick dates manually, import a holiday calendar template and adjust it, or set a start date with a repeating work/rest pattern to automatically generate future shifts. Ideal for 12-hour shifts, rotating shifts, weekend rotations, on-call schedules, split shifts, and other repeating work patterns. Schedules can also be shared by QR code. People who import your schedule can receive future updates, and reminders help you avoid forgetting to extend a schedule before it expires. 【AUTOMATIC HOLIDAY SKIP】 Automatically skip public holidays and weekends while recognizing special working days. No more turning alarms off before a holiday and remembering to turn them back on afterward. 【CUSTOM ALARM SOUNDS】 Import and trim your favorite music, record your own sound, or use a random sound each day. 【SUNRISE AND SUNSET ALARMS】 Create alarms based on local sunrise or sunset times. Choose a location on the map and set the alarm to ring before or after sunrise or sunset. Ideal for waking up, photography, hiking, camping, and outdoor activities. 【HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS】 View your next alarm without opening the app. Shift widgets can also show upcoming shifts, making your work schedule easy to check at a glance. 【SYSTEM-LEVEL RELIABILITY】 Built with the latest iOS alarm SDK, Alarm Pro can still alert you even when Silent Mode or Do Not Disturb is enabled, helping keep your reminders reliable and on time. 【iCLOUD SYNC】 Keep your alarms, shift schedules, wake-up history, custom alarm sounds, and white noise playlists in sync across your devices with iCloud.
