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.

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.
- hedora 1y agoAh, 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.
- jama211 1y agoI don’t find it bad, just simple, which makes sense for a default offering.
- frizlab 1y ago> keep my recurring alarm on, but skip it tomorrow 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).
- hollow-moe 1y agowoah, Apple lets you make your own alarm app? looks like a wide open door for vulnerabilities...
