The most common cause is iOS Low Power Mode, which can delay background activity, including alarms. If you keep Low Power Mode enabled overnight, iOS may not deliver the alarm at the exact second you set. For the most reliable timing, switch Low Power Mode off before going to sleep, or set it to turn off automatically when the device is charging.
If the alarm still doesn't ring under normal power conditions, write in with the date, time, and a brief description — every report helps narrow down whether it's a device-specific quirk or something we can fix in the app.
Alarm Planner needs permission to schedule alarms. On first launch the app asks for that permission directly — if you tapped "Don't Allow" or revoked it later, the app can't fire anything.
Then reopen Alarm Planner — the in-app banner clears once the permission flips.
Yes. Open Settings → Default alarm sound → Add custom sound and pick any audio file via the system file picker. Tracks longer than 30 seconds are automatically trimmed to fit iOS's alarm-tone limit. DRM-protected files (e.g. Apple Music downloads) can't be used as alarms — that's a platform restriction, not ours.
Not yet. Alarm Planner currently stores everything locally on the device it's running on. Cross-device sync is on the roadmap for a future update.
Either swipe-delete alarms one by one from the home tab, or uninstall the app — uninstalling removes every alarm, tag, and setting from your device.
Probably! The app is built by one developer and shaped heavily by what people ask for. Email emils@ozols.dev with the request — even short ones help prioritize the roadmap.
Alarm Planner stores all your data locally on your device. We don't have a server-side copy of your alarms. For the full data policy, see the privacy policy.
