Every way to skip and pause

    Skip today's or tomorrow's alarms in one go.

  • Skip the next ring

    Skip only the next time an alarm would ring. The alarm itself stays as it is.

    Free
  • Pause a stretch of time

    Pause your alarms for a time window, like nothing between 6:00 and 8:00 on Saturday.

  • Skips you can undo

  • No alarm tomorrow? You will know

    If you switched alarms off in the last 14 days and one of your usual alarm days now has nothing set to ring, an evening notice tells you. Turn on brings them back in one tap.

    Free
  • Heads-up before an alarm

    A notification before an alarm rings, so you can skip it straight from there. It comes 15 minutes before by default; turn it off or set it from 10 minutes to 2 hours.

  • Clock and next-alarm widgets

    The next-alarm widget has Skip next and Skip day. Backgrounds can be solid, faded or see-through.

Why it matters

Most mornings follow a plan, and some don't: a day off, a late start, a week away. Turning alarms off for those days means remembering to turn them back on. Skipping and pausing leave your alarms as they are, and vacation mode brings them back by itself.
