No need to worry about remembering to set it later. [Key Features] 1. Schedule Future Alarms Simply pick a date from the calendar. You can book alarms for far-off dates instantly, eliminating the risk of forgetting to set them later. 2. Flexible Repeats to Fit Your Life Perfect for "bi-weekly trash" or "monthly bills." Along with daily and weekly options, Premium features (bi-weekly, monthly, yearly) help you manage any recurring event without fail. 3. "Nagging" Multi-Alarms Set multiple alarms in a row around your scheduled time. It's easy to create them all at once, ensuring you get the notification as many times as you need to notice it. 4. Vibration-Only Mode Discreetly wake up with vibration-only settings. Perfect for quiet environments or mornings when you don't want to wake anyone else up. 5. Set alarms in any time zone Market open in Eastern Time, an F1 race on European time, a standup with the Tokyo team β€” pick a time zone and set the alarm in local time. No math, no mistakes. Daylight saving changes are handled automatically. And when you travel, just open the app and your alarms adjust to local time. 6.
