The iOS clock app is so bad. Thank got we're getting AlarmKit in iOS 26 so people will finally be able to make custom ones. So many obvious features are missing, like a "keep my recurring alarm on, but skip it tomorrow" button (useful for when you don't want to wake up early on labor day), calendar-driven alarms, etc.

If you use the Sleep feature, instead of a plain alarm for an “alarm clock,” it has had this feature for quite a few years now. Any modification made to Sleep, which is manageable from within the same Alarm app, prompts to ask if you’d like to change your entire sleep schedule or just apply the modification (shut off, or reschedule) to the next one up.

		Ah, yes. The sleep alarm, as in “alert me with a loud noise if I should be asleep”. There was a bug a week or so ago, where if you set a wind down schedule, and then updated iOS, it enabled itself. Got woken up hours early, despite never using that feature.

woah, Apple lets you make your own alarm app? looks like a wide open door for vulnerabilities...

		Apple is probably penning a letter to the EU about how Facebook is going to violate your privacy using alarms.

You can skip the next alarm or change it when using a sleep schedule (special alarm for waking up, also support schedules for different waking hours depending on the day of the week; setup directly in the same location as any other alarms).

I don’t find it bad, just simple, which makes sense for a default offering.
