AlarmPack is the grouped alarm clock built for iOS 26. Instead of toggling alarms one by one, you organize them into Packs like Work, Gym, Weekend, or Night Shift and activate an entire group with a single tap. Every alarm rings with a true full-screen alarm you can Stop or Snooze. Snooze reschedules and rings again after the minutes you choose. On iOS 26, alarms are delivered as system-level alarms through AlarmKit for the most reliable wake-up experience. KEY FEATURES - Full-Screen Alarm: Your alarm shows a full-screen alert with Stop and Snooze buttons, so you always see it and control it - even on devices without iOS 26. - True Snooze: Set the snooze duration once, then every Snooze button reschedules the alarm and rings again after your chosen minutes. Works on system alarms and notifications alike. - 10 Alarm Sounds: Pick a sound for every alarm and preview it before saving. Five sounds are free; Pro unlocks all ten. Choose the tones that wake you up best, and your sound is kept when an alarm snoozes. - Default Sound: Set one default sound in Settings and every new alarm inherits it - no repetitive setup. - Repeat Once, Every Day or Custom: Choose exactly how often an alarm repeats with a clear Once / Every Day / Custom selector - no guessing. - One-Tap Pack Switching: Activate a whole group of alarms instantly. Your previous Pack deactivates automatically. - Skip Next Alarm: Need a day off? Skip just the next occurrence without disabling the alarm. It auto-resumes the following day. - Skip All Tomorrow: Skip every alarm in a Pack for one day with a single button. - Home Screen Widget: See your active Pack at a glance and tap to open it. Small and medium sizes are free; Pro unlocks the large widget and the Lock Screen widget. - Permission Guard: If permissions are denied, the app alerts you immediately and guides you to enable them in Settings so alarms never fail silently. - Activation Guard: Activating a Pack warns you if alarm permissions are off and points you to Settings. - Settings Permission Panel: Check AlarmKit and notification permission status directly from Settings, with a guided Open Settings button when denied. - Onboarding Templates: Get started fast with preset Packs for Work, School, Gym, Weekend, and Night schedules. Templates create daily repeating alarms. - Scheduling Status: See whether your Pack alarms were successfully registered, right on the Pack detail screen. - Haptic Feedback: Feel a light tap when you toggle a Pack. - Adaptive Layout: Optimized for both iPhone and iPad with smart column layouts. FREE VS PRO Free includes 2 Packs with 3 alarms each, the full-screen alarm, snooze, repeat controls, 5 alarm sounds, and the small and medium Home Screen widget. AlarmPack Pro is a one-time 2.99 dollar purchase that unlocks unlimited Packs and alarms, all 10 alarm sounds, skip alarm, and the large and Lock Screen widget styles. WHO IS ALARMPACK FOR - Shift workers who keep different alarm groups for different weeks - Students juggling class, exam, and internship schedules - Anyone who needs reliable daily reminders with a real snooze - Fitness enthusiasts with training day versus rest day routines - Anyone tired of toggling multiple alarms every single day AlarmPack makes alarm management effortless.

Alarm Deck uses Apple’s native alarm engine. Alarms ring in Silent Mode and Focus, with snooze on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Each group holds as many alarms as you want. GROUPS Clock has one list. You need more than one life. Work, medication, and weekends each get a group. One switch turns a whole group off — every alarm’s own setting is remembered. REPEAT Set every alarm in a group to weekdays, weekends, or every day. MORE TIMES Stack extra times on one alarm without building a new group. 7:00, 7:05, 7:10 in a few taps. Always free. PAUSE Pause a group until the morning you’re back. Alarms resume that day even if you never open the app. Or touch and hold the morning notification to silence that group for today. NATIVE • Rings on silent, in Focus, and after restarts • Snooze from Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, or Live Activity • Labels, 1–15 minute snooze, repeat days • Five original tones, or the system default No account. No ads. Alarms stay on your iPhone. Purchase, device, and usage data are collected and not linked to your identity. See App Privacy. Requires iOS 26.1 or later.
