What people use a date-specific alarm for

An alarm you can point at an exact date covers things the built-in clock cannot. Here is where it earns its place.

One time alarm for iPhone: ring once on a specific date

Set a date and time, ring once, and let it clean itself up.

Alarms, not notifications. They ring on silent and in Focus mode.

Monthly by date, nth weekday, last weekday, biweekly and yearly.

One alarm per day at its own time, and templates for the pattern.

Snooze from one minute to twelve hours, set per alarm.

Media volume and ringer volume are separate. Pick low, medium or high.

Save a schedule and everything inside it, then apply it in one tap.

The cancellation date as an alarm, with the link kept alongside it.

Ring at the exact minute, with the queue link already to hand.

Weekly, fortnightly and 2nd-and-4th collections, with a night-before nudge.

A one-off wake time that still sounds with the phone on silent.

The appointment as an alarm, with the details attached to it.

What rings next, on the Home Screen, without opening the app.
