  2. Set it to repeat on a shift rotation of 2 to 28 days.

  3. Skip a day or set vacation mode when plans change; skipping never changes the alarm.

Why it matters

Rotating shifts don't fit a weekly alarm. Setting alarms day by day is easy to get wrong, especially on the first early shift after a few days off. A rotation that repeats on its own keeps the pattern for you.
