Pick a date, add a note

Tap the calendar button under the time to choose a day. The date is optional: without one, the alarm rings the next time that time comes around, today or tomorrow.

Under the calendar is a box for a note, up to 100 characters. The note is optional too. Tap OK to keep the date and the note. The note shows on the alarm's tile and when the alarm rings.

The calendar open over the Set alarm page, showing October 2026 with the 29th picked, and the optional note field below it.

Set or Save

Set

A one-time alarm. It rings once and then disappears.

Save

A reusable alarm. After it rings it stays as a tile you can swipe back on.

When it rings

You have 3 minutes to dismiss or snooze. If you don't answer, Temporal snoozes for you and tries again, up to 3 times, then stops. Snooze always works when you tap it. The snooze length is in Settings (10 minutes to start).

An alarm ringing at 10:12 AM, with Snooze and Dismiss buttons.
