User Guide

• Tap + on the dashboard to create a new alarm.
• Set the time and select which days it should repeat.
• Add an optional label — it displays on the alarm screen when it fires, so you know why it’s going off.
• Toggle alarms on/off directly from the dashboard.
• View alarm history from the dashboard to see when alarms fired and which videos played.

Interval Scheduling

Not everything follows a weekly routine. Tap the "Every X days" chip to switch from day-of-week to interval mode:

• Enter how many days between each alarm (e.g. every 3 days, every 14 days).
• Pick a start date using the date picker.
• The app calculates the next occurrence automatically and shows it on the dashboard.

Interval mode and day-of-week mode are mutually exclusive — selecting one clears the other.

If you downgrade from Pro, extra alarms are greyed out — you can still delete them but not edit or toggle them.

These defaults apply to all alarms unless overridden. You'll find them in the Settings screen.

Channel	The YouTube channel to pull Shorts from (required)
Max Duration	How long each video plays before moving on (10–610s, or unlimited). Default: 180s
Player Volume	Playback volume percentage, in 5% increments (0–100%). Default: 100%
Max Replays	How many times a video replays if shorter than the duration (0–50). Default: 3
Videos per Alarm	How many Shorts play in sequence before auto-dismiss (1–10). Default: 1. Pro for more than 1.
Vibration	Whether the phone vibrates when the alarm fires. Default: on
Rising Volume	Starts quiet and ramps to full volume over 30 seconds. Default: off. Pro

Each alarm has a "Playback Overrides" section in the alarm editor. This is the key to making each alarm unique.

How it works

• Every setting has a "Default" checkbox next to it.
• When Default is checked (the default state): the alarm uses the global setting from Settings. The slider/toggle is greyed out and shows the current global value for reference.
• When Default is unchecked: the slider/toggle becomes active and you can set a custom value just for this alarm.

What you can override per alarm

• Channel — play from a different channel than the global default
• Specific video URL — always play a particular Short
• Max Duration, Player Volume, Max Replays
• Videos per Alarm, Vibration, Rising Volume

The header shows "Playback Overrides (customized)" when any setting is overridden. The override section automatically expands when editing an alarm that has custom overrides.

The app requests only the permissions it needs to work reliably as an alarm clock.

Exact Alarms	Required for alarms to fire at the exact time you set.
Display Over Other Apps	Needed to show alarms over the lock screen.
Do Not Disturb Override	Ensures alarms sound even in DND mode.
Notifications	Shows an ongoing notification when an alarm is firing.
Internet	Fetches the latest Short from YouTube when the alarm fires.

No internet when the alarm fires

The app falls back to your device's default alarm tone within 15 seconds. Your alarm always goes off.

Alarm doesn't fire after reboot

All alarms are automatically rescheduled after a restart. Make sure the app has the Exact Alarms permission enabled.

Video is blocked or unavailable

The app automatically skips to the next newest Short from the channel. Pro users benefit from a backup playlist for seamless playback.

Alarm doesn't show over lock screen

Make sure "Display Over Other Apps" permission is granted in Settings → Permissions.

Alarm is silent in DND mode

Grant the "Do Not Disturb Override" permission in Settings → Permissions.
