Malarm

Flexible no-frills alarm scheduler, free and open source

Malarm is a flexible, no-frills alarm scheduler for Android.

Features:

* One-time and date-specific alarms (e.g. "Rent due on the 15th")
* Repeat schedules: daily, weekdays, weekends, weekly, or monthly
* Snooze presets from 5 minutes to 8 hours, or pick a custom duration
* Full-screen alarm over the lock screen, with the sound of your choice or silent
* Alarms re-schedule to the correct local time when your time or timezone changes
* Export and import all alarms as a backup file
* Remove inactive alarms in one tap
* Built-in event log that shows what each alarm did
* Works completely offline — no ads, no tracking, no accounts

The app never sends data anywhere: it has no INTERNET permission at all. On newer Android versions it asks for the permissions needed to ring and wake the screen (notifications, full-screen alerts, and exact-alarm access). It is free and open source software, released under the MIT license.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
