With the introduction of iOS 15 and focus mode, I have once again wished that I could find a simple way (on a standard, non-jailbroken iPhone) to temporarily silence all sounds, including alarms, for some period of time. The main use case here, is that I have a lot of daily alarms that are always set, but some times, I am at the theater or in a special meeting, where I do not want them to go off. Turning the alarms off and on, or giving them a silent ringtone, is not really a viable option. I'd love a control panel switch or focus mode setting that could handle this, if there was one. A fancy shortcut automation might be an option, but I'm guessing that it would still be a bit difficult to make generic enough and reliable. Using a non-Apple app for Alarms, might be one possible approach, as I think that would be silenced, but that solution isn't ideal since most of my workflow relies on the built in alarm functionality at the moment. Does anyone know how to accomplish this (now or in the future)? ***EDIT***: Although the list of active, recurring alarms does not change all the time, it does change frequently enough, that I'd prefer a solution that could silence all enabled alarms and then un-silence that same list without needing to maintain the list, simply because it will be error prone. As much as I like Apple products in general, the lack of a real "theater" silent mode in 2021 is completely baffling.

I want to set a one-time alarm to go off on a specific date on my iPhone. On Android there was a "Schedule alarm" button in the clock app but I can't find an equivalent option on iOS. The reminders app doesn't work for this because I want the alarm to keep going off until I wake up and disable it. I'm willing to purchase a third party app to accomplish this.

I'm looking for a way to use the built in iPhone alarm app, but I want it to display a customizable message when I wake up. I've heard of ways to make siri speak a message, but I want it to be purely visual on the screen. Has anyone done this or know how to do it?

By default the iPhone alarm sounds both through the headphones and speakers (understandably), is there a setting somewhere to set the alarm to only go through the headphones? (The use case is I want to wake up with the alarm but not wake everyone else in the house)

Can an alarm sound in the headphone on iPhone, I don't care if it also sounds outside the headphones, but I think that having it come through the headphones would help me wake up, specifically wireless headphones How can I get alarms play through headphones?

In previous versions of iOS, I was able to ask Siri on either my iPhone or HomePod mini to “change my wake up time to 7 AM”. In recent versions of iOS, this feature disappeared. Now Siri says “you don’t have any alarms” when in fact I do have a wake up alarm set daily. Is there some way to convince Siri to change the wake up alarm time?

I want to be able to write a text like "155pm" and have that get turned into a date and then into an alarm on the same day with that time. I tried the set of actions shown below (link to shortcut ), it works when I tried like "3pm" but not "155pm". Any ideas or solutions?

I am virtually certain that in early iOS products -- for example, on my old 5th-generation iPod Touch, which was contemporary with the iPhone 5, and which shipped with iOS 6 -- one could set the stock Alarm Clock to use a playlist (from the Music app) instead of an alarm. That feature seems to no longer exist; while it is still possible to play an individual song as an alarm, one can no longer choose to play an entire playlist. When exactly did this feature go away? That is, in what version of iOS was this feature removed? PS: And just to forestall the obvious: I am aware of the work-around using the Shortcuts app . It seems unnecessarily complicated, and in any case that doesn't answer my question.

When studying, I used to use one of those cheap digital kitchen timers that chirps every ten minutes as a little reminder of how fast time was passing -- it helped me keep track of time without the temptation to constantly glance at the clock. The kitchen timer gave out on me recently, so I've been looking for an iPhone app to replace it. Ideally, it would have an on and off setting, and when on, would periodically vibrate in my pocket every ten or fifteen minutes. Unfortunately, the apps I've found are quite chintzy and don't support switching between apps, or stop as soon as the phone is set to sleep -- and either of these is a deal breaker. Are there any iPhone apps out there do what I'm looking for? (I've been burned by a couple of paid apps that turned out to be lemons, so I'd be most grateful.)

I was awakened last night by my MacBook beeping at what seemed like regular intervals. I shut it down. This morning I turned it on and the beeping came back. It was not completely regular. Sometimes, after restarting, with or without one of the many magic key sequences to reset something, it would be okay for a while. Just before the beep, I noticed the screen dimmed briefly. There is a preferences option to dim the screen like this when going to battery power. I noticed the battery had not charged beyond 80%. There is an Optimised battery charging option in the Preferences. It wasn't ticked, but it says "To reduce battery ageing, your Mac learns from your daily charging routine so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it on battery."

I use my iPhone to wake me up for school in the morning. The one flaw in that workflow is that, as any student knows, snow day season is very much upon us. I also have an iPad (school-given and limited accordingly) and an MBP. iOS 8.1.2 (non-jailbroken) and OS X 10.1.1. I have a Mac and an iPhone and prefer the alarm be on the iPhone if possible. I can subscribe to a notification service (such as one of the news stations that sends text or email notifications about school delays/closings) but don’t know how to chain that to have my alarms altered. i.e. If my school calls a 2-hour delay, I want my 6:15 alarm turned off and an 8:15 one turned on, and if they call a full-blown cancellation, I want all alarms off. Can it be done?

I picked a song for an alarm and now every alarm that I create with Siri uses that song. I cannot change the default alarm song back to the default alarm sound. When I need to create an alarm manually I can see the default alarm sound, but every single time I create an alarm with Siri then it reverts back to that one song. It's impossible to change the default alarm sound that Siri uses. I'm using iOS 10.2.

I am looking for a way to implement next feature: I want to find a way on how to trigger any kind (not only from the built-in application) of alarm after the Telegram message. For example, I am sleeping and in the middle of the night someone texts me. There is a high change that the sound of the notification (with Do Not Disturb mode turned off) won't wake me up, but long loud alarm would be albe to do that. I have checked the Shortcuts application and there is nothing can be done about it. There is similar functionality, but for the Messages application, not third-party (the Telegram in this case). From what I have seen, the Telegram bot could be the potential solution for this problem, but it cannot read private messages. I am looking for ANY kind of solution. It can be application or the way I can implement it programatically. I have experience and I will be able to implement something like that but right now I am looking just for ways of the implementation.

I like to have an alarm go off hourly to help me stay focused, and I’ve set my phone up to play church bell sounds for each hour. This works well, except that the alarms will keep playing forever (or for a long time in any case) unless I stop it. I don’t want to have to do anything, especially pick up my phone. I just want it to play once and stop on its own. Is this possible?

I would like to set calendar alerts to happen at the scheduled completion time of my events - whatever that may be. I can't seem to figure out a way to do this. You can create alarms that go off before an event starts, at the start time, or a fixed number of minutes after start time. But is there a way to set an alarm that triggers AT OR AFTER the completion time of an event, without having to specify the exact date & time?

Is it possible to configure the alarm app from sounding during a phone call? This is extremely annoying that the alarm app sounds during a call. This is loud and you have to ask the other party to wait while you finally disable it.

Last night, I worked late and wanted to push back my usual Sleep Focus end time from 7:00 to 9:00am. It looked like I was allowed to do that: However, at 7:30am I was awakened by an email. Despite my Sleep Focus showing that it would stay on until 9, the Focus part didn’t actually stay engaged: Is there no way to have the Sleep Focus last longer for one night?

My personal calendar only contains truly important events and I hate missing something when I forget about a notification. Is there an app (or iOS Calendar setting) that would make my phone vibrate and ring an alarm whenever an event starts? I would like it to be able to override silent and Do Not Disturb mode as well to be safe. This is for iPhone 12 / iOS 15.

For a while within the past year, I was delighted to find that my iPhone allowed me to enter an alarm time using a numerical keypad instead of the simulated dials. Now, it has reverted to the dials. I wonder whether it is because I recently upgraded from iOS 14.4 to 15.2.1. Was this in fact determined by the iOS version? I'm a fan of installing as few apps as possible, and relying on native functionality. Is there any way to get the numerical keypad back without installing an app?

I intend to save my eyes healthy. So, i want to set alarm every 2 hour computer i used. I have tried to set on calender and clock, but i can't find the way.
