Alarm Stacks
Routine Alarm Clock
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Build morning and bedtime routines that actually ring. Chain alarms and countdowns, use Lock Screen Live Activities, and generate routines on-device (where supported).
Build step-by-step alarm routines that actually ring.
Alarm Stacks lets you create stacks like Wake → Hydrate → Stretch → Shower → Leave. The first step can be Start in (a countdown) or Fixed time; later steps can be Fixed time or After previous. Alarms use the system’s full-screen interface and ring even with Silent or Focus enabled. Follow along on the Lock Screen with a Live Activity, skip or snooze a step, or control stacks with Siri and Shortcuts.
Highlights
• Real alarms — System-grade ringing that works even with Silent/Focus on.
• Stacks = routines — First step: Start in or Fixed time. Following steps: Fixed time or After previous.
• Live Activities (Lock Screen) — See countdowns and quick controls at a glance.
• Quick Alarm — Set an alarm for “in X minutes” or “at a time” in two taps.
• Stopwatch & Timer — Simple, precise, each with a Lock Screen Live Activity.
• On-device routine generator (supported devices) — Type “6:30 gym then shower and coffee” and get a proposed stack you can edit before saving.
• Shortcuts & Siri — Arm, disarm, start, stop, or snooze via voice or automations.
• Themes — Pick a colour that suits you.
• No account, no ads, no tracking — Your data stays on your device.
How it works
1. Create a stack and add steps (first step = Start in or Fixed time; later steps = Fixed time or After previous).
2. Arm the stack — Alarm Stacks schedules everything for you.
3. Use the Lock Screen Live Activity to complete, skip, or snooze; the next step starts automatically.
Free vs Plus
Free: up to 2 stacks and 3 steps per stack.
Alarm Stacks Plus: unlimited stacks & steps, extra themes, and future premium features.
Privacy
Works entirely on-device. The routine generator also runs on-device on supported hardware. No accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs.
Notes
• Allow Time-Sensitive notifications and Live Activities for the best experience.
