FAQ

Which devices does it work on?

Unsnooze is available for iPhone with iOS 26 or later. It uses Apple's AlarmKit, which is new in iOS 26, so your alarms ring as reliably as the built-in Clock app.

Will my alarm ring if my phone is on silent or the app is closed?

Yes. Alarms ring on the lock screen, through Silent mode and Focus, even when Unsnooze is closed. If you can't hear it, check the ringer volume under Settings → Sounds & Haptics.

Can't I just turn it off?

The lock screen's Stop button opens Unsnooze, and the alarm rings again if you don't finish your challenge. For real emergencies there is an Emergency Stop, but that morning won't count toward your streak.

Can I still snooze?

Only if you allow it. Each alarm has its own snooze settings: on or off, how long, and how many times.

Can I try a challenge before using it?

Yes. In the Explore tab, open Try Challenges to try any challenge without setting an alarm. Practice runs don't count toward your streak.
