I’m looking for an alarm clock app alternative to the Google Clock, which I use mainly because it allows me to link a Spotify playlist to an alarm. Do you know about any app with similar characteristics? If not, then what is the best alarm clock app you would recommend?

    I hope it’s not a Playlist you enjoy the music of. Waking up to good songs sucks the joy right out of them

      Respectfully disagree. I’ve been waking up to Chum Lair from the Sable video game OST for a couple years now. I wake up in a good mood because me and my girlfriend think it’s absolutely ridiculous and hilarious.

    I’ve enjoyed using the Simple Alarm Clock on F-droid, importantly for me, it requires you to hold down the shut off button for a couple seconds which helps prevent me from accidentally shutting off my alarm instead of snoozing it. Only downside for this app and possibly others is that they may not function if your device OS updates in the middle of the night.

      Does it have a “day off” feature? Nothing speaks to how horrific US culture is fed by these giant companies that neither apple nor Google has the common sense “I’m off tomorrow, don’t do my regular schedule alarm”. Instead you have to disable and then set a reminder to turn your alarms back on, which stresses me out about forgetting.

        Oh the horror.

        Nice jingoism.

        I’ve never once had a problem managing my alarm clock for my days off (though it’s a neat idea).

        Your whole “Americans don’t sleep” nonsense is just that, ignorant nonsense. Maybe take this political bullshit somewhere else, not this post.

        Instead, perhaps, email the dev and do the legwork to get this feature, that only you seem to want, added. I do this all the time. Funny, it takes effort on my part to get features, instead of complaining and condemning people.

        MANY devs aren’t American, so you’re insulting them.

    I use a radio alarm clock or my watch. I like to listen to NPR on wake.
