Yobirin is a simple alarm app that lets you set different alarms for each day of the week. Tired of resetting tomorrow's alarm every single night? Yobirin takes that small daily stress off your hands. Set your alarms once, and they repeat automatically every week. "Wake up early on Mondays, sleep in on weekends." "Garbage day reminders for Mon/Wed/Fri — and don't forget the things I always forget." "Tuesday night only — can't miss my favorite show." Whatever your weekly rhythm looks like, automate it with a single setup. Built on the same system as the iPhone's built-in alarm, with the flexibility of day-by-day customization.
