1. How to make an alarm?

  • Click + button, set time and click save... Done!
  • (Optional) You can also set different timezone, start/end date, repeat, ringtone, vibration, snooze, label and color tag

2. What happens if set different timezone for alarm?

  • App will calculate difference between device time zone and time zone you set and will be fired. Also It reflects summer time if time zone you set or device time zone uses summer time. Not only time, but also date can be changed.

3. How the start date and end date work?

  • You can set only start or end date or both.
  • You can long click start/end date to remove.

Only set start date

  • Start date is the day the alarm fires.
  • If you set only start date without setting end date and repeat, alarm will be fired only once on start date.(Reserved alarm)
  • If you set start date and repeat without setting end date, alarm will be fired every repeat from the start date.

Only set end date

  • End date is the last day the alarm fires.
  • Must set repeat at least one.
  • If the end date is less than a week from today, must set valid time and repeat.
  • If you set end date and repeat without setting start date, alarm will be fired every repeat you set until the end date.

Set start and end date

  • Start date should not be earlier than today.
  • End date should not be earlier than start date.
  • Must set repeat at least one.
  • If start to end date is less than a week, alarm will be fired everyday.
  • Alarm will be fired every repeat you set from the start date to the end date.(Range alarm)

4. Remove an alarm

  • You can swipe an alarm item to the right or left to remove in list.

5. Time Conversion

  • Click clock icon in tab, you can see base date, time and timezone.
  • You can change base date, time and timezone, but when you restart app, they will be reset.
  • You can set default timezone in setting and it will not be reset even if restarted.
  • You can click earth icon to add a timezone.
  • After add a timezone, app calculates time difference between base and added timezone and then shows converted date and time
  • You can swipe an timezone item to the right or left to remove in list.

6. Apply time difference to repeat day(s) (Deprecated, Not available anymore)
