Any iPhone running iOS 26 or later. Alarmzy uses AlarmKit, Apple's alarm system for apps, which arrived in iOS 26.

That permission lets Alarmzy ring like the built-in Clock app: on the Lock Screen, in silent mode, through Focus and with the app closed. Without it, alarms can't ring at all, so Alarmzy marks them as "Won't ring" in your list.

Open the iPhone's Settings app, scroll down to Alarmzy and switch on Alarms. The "Won't ring" card in Alarmzy also has a button that takes you there.

Tap I'm up on the alarm. Alarmzy opens on the challenges you picked for that alarm, up to three, one after another: say a quote out loud, find daylight, walk 30 steps, do push-ups, squats or jumping jacks, scan a code, match a photo, or type the quote. The alarm is done when the last one is.

When you type the quote, case and punctuation don't matter, only the letters and spaces. Letters light up as you get them right, and typos are fine: keep going, and you're done at the end of the line with 90% right.

It rings again about a minute later, with the Bells tone. It keeps coming back for up to 30 minutes, then that morning is logged as missed. While you're making progress on a challenge, the next ring is pushed back so it never interrupts you.

Three minutes after you finish, a gentle alarm rings once. Tap it and you're done. If you ignore it, the full alarm and the challenge come back. You can switch it off with Check I'm still up on the You're up screen, which appears each time you're up.

Yes, for repeating alarms. Swipe or long-press the alarm in your list and choose Skip next. It skips just the next ring, and your streak passes over that day. Changed your mind? Choose Undo skip.

First, make sure Alarmzy is allowed to schedule alarms (see above) and that the alarm's switch is on in your list. A card at the top of your list tells you if an alarm won't ring.

Alarm volume follows your iPhone's ringer and alerts volume in Settings > Sounds & Haptics. If the volume is up and the alarm still didn't ring, please email us with your iPhone model and iOS version.

Each alarm morning where you finish the challenges adds a day. A morning with an alarm but no finished challenge ends the streak. Days without an alarm, like a weekday alarm's weekend, and days you skipped with Skip next don't count either way.

No. There's no account, no ads and no tracking, and your alarms and wake log never leave your iPhone. The privacy policy has the details.

Delete the Alarmzy app. That removes your alarms and wake log from your iPhone, and there's no copy anywhere else.
