Where's My Alarm?

I set alarms day by day, plus a few that repeat. Finding the ones that will actually ring should take one glance. It didn't.

The Pain

  1. 1
    "Alarm in 13 hours 18 minutes." Cool. So… what time is that?It tells you the time left, not when it rings.
  2. 2
    Scroll, scroll, scroll. Which ones did I turn on again?Old alarms pile up and bury the live ones.
  3. 3
    I turned on three alarms. You're showing me two that are off.No single place shows everything that's going to ring.

What I Cooked

Before

Original screen with the three problems marked 1 2 3
  • 1
    A countdown. Do the math yourself.
  • 2
    Old one-time alarms first. The 8:00 am that rings is below the fold.
  • 3
    Everything's off. Not one live alarm on screen.

Upcoming

Upcoming tab with the fixes marked 1 2 3
  • 1
    8:00 am. Tomorrow. Done. The actual time, countdown tucked underneath.
  • 2
    Upcoming vs Saved. What's on is split from what's off. No scrolling.
  • 3
    Every live alarm, in one go. Green toggles, green repeat days.

Saved

Saved tab with the fixes marked 1 2
  • 1
    The rest, out of the way. Switched-off alarms live here, not in your face.
  • 2
    A quiet nudge. 15 alarms unused for 20 days? Time to clean up.

Review

Inactive alarms review with the fixes marked 1 2
  • 1
    All at once. Restore All or Clear All in one tap.
  • 2
    Or one by one. Nothing disappears unless you say so.
