What Alarmis supports today

An honest list, not a promise. Only what’s actually shipped is on this page.

Larger Text (Dynamic Type)

Alarmis follows the text size you set in iOS Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text, including the Accessibility sizes at the far end of the slider. Type grows across the app — the alarm list, the alarm editor, reminders, settings, call history, and the sheets — and the layouts move with it: rows restack, labels sit above their fields instead of being squeezed beside them, and long text wraps rather than getting cut off.

Two screens stop short of the largest sizes. The full-screen wake-up clock and the wake-up mission screens (the number keypad, the letter tiles) grow up to a large accessibility size and then hold there. Both are already drawn very large — the countdown is set at 84pt before any scaling — and both are fixed grids where growing further pushes keys off the edge of the screen. Everywhere else scales the whole way.

Dark and light

Both appearances are first-class, not an afterthought — every colour in the app is defined for each. Alarmis starts in dark, and you can switch to light or follow your system setting in Settings → App.

Alarms don’t depend on the network

Your alarms are scheduled on the device and ring at the time you set whether or not you have signal or Wi-Fi. The phone call is the escalation layer on top of the alarm, not the alarm itself. If you rely on a wake-up you can count on, that distinction matters: a dead connection can cost you the call, but it can’t cost you the alarm.

What we haven’t done yet

Alarmis has not been tested with VoiceOver, and we’re not going to claim support we haven’t verified. The same goes for Voice Control, Switch Control, and captions or transcripts for call audio. This work is ongoing, and this page gets updated as each piece actually lands — not before.
