Make a time alarm
- On Alarms, tap ⏰ Time.
- Rocco asks "once, or repeating?". Tap Just once or Repeating.
- Tap the big clock to set the time, and AM or PM to flip it.
- Pick the day:
- Just once: today, tomorrow, or You choose for a date on the calendar.
- Repeating: tap the days, sun to sat.
- Under Make it social, leave it off for a private alarm, or switch it on and pick Friends or Public.
- For a shared alarm, pick a Time zone: Same time zone for everyone (one moment for everyone, the default) or Everyone's local time zone, so each person wakes at their own 6:00am. Under it, the app spells out what that means, for example "Everyone up at 5:30am PDT, so 1:30pm in London".
- Tap Arm it, then Pick the vibe or Done.
Good to know
- A one-off alarm starts an hour from now, rounded up to five minutes. A repeating one starts at 5:30am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Change either.
- A time that has already passed today cannot be armed; move it to tomorrow.
- Snooze starts at 5 minutes, up to 3 times. Change it on the alarm's page under Snooze; your snooze choice applies to your own phone. See The studio.
- On iPhone, time alarms use Apple's own alarm system (AlarmKit), which rings through silent mode and Focus. On Android they take over the screen, even when the phone is locked.
- To change the time or the time zone later, open the alarm and tap Change the time. Once a second person rides it, the time is sealed. See Editing and deleting.
Same time zone for everyone, or everyone's local time zone
Same time zone for everyone is for a set moment: a flight, a call, a drop. Make it for 6:00pm in Seoul and someone in London is rung at 10:00am, in the same second. The alarm's page shows each rider both times, like "6:00pm in Seoul · 10:00am for you". It follows your zone through daylight saving.
Everyone's local time zone is for routines: a run club where everyone wakes at 6:00 wherever they are. Each phone rings at its own 6:00, and the wake board stays open for up to 24 hours, ranking people by how fast they got up after their own ring.
| Same time zone for everyone | Everyone's local time zone | |
|---|---|---|
| When a friend in another zone rings | At your moment, converted to their clock | At the same clock time on their own phone |
| Good for | A launch, a podcast, a Space, a flight | A morning routine across cities |
| Wake board | One race from the one ring | A round, open until everyone is up or 24 hours |
Three examples
- Exam morning, private. Just once, tomorrow, 6:30am, Make it social off. A Drill sergeant voice and a note to yourself: "Calculator, ID, two pens".
- A Saturday call across time zones. Just once, Saturday 7:00pm in New York, shared with friends, Same time zone for everyone. Your friend in Berlin is rung at 1:00am her time, so she knows what she signed up for before she joins.
- Gym club. Repeating, mon, wed, fri at 6:00am, shared with your gym group, Everyone's local time zone. Ana in Lisbon and Ben in Toronto each wake at their own 6:00, and the board compares how fast they got up.
