Alba: Easy Multiple Alarms

G-CAR

About this app

Alba builds whole sequences of alarms that actually ring, and lets you decide how hard they hit. One gentle chime, or a back-to-back group that gets louder and meaner until you are on your feet.

100% free. No ads. No paywall. No subscription. No account. Every feature below is unlocked from the first launch.

MANY ALARMS, ONE GROUP
One alarm is rarely enough. With Alba you set a start time and an interval, and it builds the whole back-to-back sequence for you. No more adding and renaming a dozen separate alarms by hand.
• Pick a start time and spacing, and Alba lays out the full sequence
• See every alarm in the group before you save
• One group, one place to edit them all at once
• Just need one? A classic single alarm is a tap away

ALARMS THAT ACTUALLY RING
A sequence is only worth setting if every alarm in it goes off. Alba is built to be the alarm you can trust:
• Fires exactly on time, never minutes late
• Takes over the full screen on your lock screen, like the system clock
• Rings through silent mode and Do Not Disturb
• Survives a restart: your alarms reschedule themselves the moment the phone boots, even before you unlock it
• A guided setup walks you through the battery, notification and autostart settings your phone needs, so nothing kills the alarm in the background

ESCALATE ON YOUR TERMS
This is what Alba does that an ordinary alarm cannot. Every alarm in a group is yours to set, by hand:
• All the same: every alarm rings the exact same way
• One by one: give each alarm its own sound, volume, vibration and wake-up mission, so the group can open with a soft chime and end on a flat-out buzzer
You build the curve. Go easy where you want, and merciless where it counts.

PROVE YOU ARE AWAKE
Make an alarm stop only once you have actually done something:
• Math: solve a few quick sums
• Memory: match the cards you were shown
• Three buttons: press them in the right order
• Shake: shake the phone until it gives in
Pick how many you have to clear before the alarm gives up.

YOUR SOUND, YOUR SCREEN
Make the wake-up yours:
• Set a full-screen video or photo as the alarm background. Pick from the built-in packs (pets, nature, space) or import your own
• Choose from several built-in tones, or import any audio from your phone as the alarm sound
• Or set the sound to Random and wake to a different tone every day, so your brain never learns to sleep through the same one
• Using your own video? Wake up to that video's own audio

GENTLE OR RELENTLESS
• Gradual wake: the alarm starts almost silent and climbs to full volume, easing you awake instead of jolting you
• Silent-with-vibration option, plus adjustable vibration strength
• Snooze your way, or switch it off completely
• Choose the ring screen layout, from a big snooze button to a swipe to dismiss
• Auto-timeout: the alarm bows out on its own if you are already up

PLAN AHEAD, OR PAUSE FOR A FEW DAYS
No two weeks look the same, so Alba handles the calendar for you:
• Give an alarm a future start date and it stays quiet until the day you need it
• Going away? Pause a repeating alarm and it switches back on by itself on the date you choose, with your weekday schedule untouched
• Great for holidays, long weekends, trips and shift changes

EVERYDAY TOUCHES
• Repeat on the days you pick: weekdays, weekends or your own mix
• Skip the next ring without deleting the alarm
• Already up partway through a group? Stop the alarms still to come in one tap
• Name your alarms so you know them at a glance
• Live countdown to your next alarm
• Available in English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese

No account. No ads. No paywall. Just alarms that get you out of bed.
