DateDots

Your weeks aren't the same. Why are your alarms?

Most alarm apps think in weekdays. DateDots thinks in dates. Build a routine, a group of alarms that belong together, and put it on the exact days you need it. One look at the month shows what is coming and which days are still clear. Made for anyone whose weeks are not identical.

YOUR MONTH AT A GLANCE

Put routines on real dates instead of "every Tuesday". Every routine gets its own colour and shape, so you can see which days are full and which are empty. Tap any day to see everything that rings on it, by routine or by time.

EVERY ALARM IN ONE LIST

Switch to List and every alarm for the next two weeks is in one place, in order, under the day it rings. Filter by type, or jump to any date.

TAP AN ALARM, CHANGE ANYTHING

Tap an alarm to edit all of it on one page: silence just today, remove one date, or change its time, tone and label. For a routine, edit the whole routine there too. Nothing changes until you tap Save.

ROUTINES

Bundle alarms that go together: wake up, stretch, shower, head out. Build it once, then put the whole set on as many days as you like.

TIMELINES

Some things are easier to plan backwards from a moment. A timeline is a reusable pattern of alarms around an event: three hours before, one hour before, right on time, an hour after. Drop it onto a date and a time, and every alarm lands where it should for that day.

IT UNDERSTANDS MIDNIGHT

If a routine starts the night before, that alarm shows up on the night it actually rings, tagged with the day it belongs to. Nothing hides in the wrong square.

SILENCE ONE DAY, NOT FOREVER

Need one alarm quiet for one day? Swipe it and tap Silence. It rings normally on every other day, so there is nothing to remember to switch back on.

ORDINARY ALARMS TOO

One-time, daily, and weekday alarms live in their own tab, with pin, duplicate, and drag-to-reorder. Every alarm keeps its own tone, and every alarm can be snoozed.

BRING YOUR SCHEDULE IN

Import dates from a spreadsheet (.xlsx, .xlsm, older Excel .xls, .csv and .tsv) or from a calendar already on your phone. It is read entirely on your device, the file never leaves it, and you can preview exactly what DateDots found before creating anything.

HOW IT RINGS

A full-screen alarm on the lock screen, with a slide to dismiss so a stray touch cannot turn it off. While unlocked, a banner stays over whatever you are doing. An optional early notification you can cancel with one tap. Gapless looping tones, and an Alarm health screen that warns you if your phone's settings may get in the way, like an alarm volume left too low.

YOURS TO LOOK AT

Light and dark themes, three accent colours, 12- or 24-hour time.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No ads. No third-party tracking or analytics. Your alarms stay on your device unless you choose to sign in.

DATEDOTS PRO

A one-time purchase, not a subscription, unlocks:

• Cloud backup and sync across your devices

• Creating alarms from spreadsheet and calendar imports

Everything else is free, and any import can be previewed for free before you decide.

LOOKING FOR ONE OF THESE?

An alarm for a specific date, not another weekly repeat. Several alarms scheduled at once instead of one at a time. A month view showing which days already have alarms on them. A list of every upcoming alarm in one place. A set of alarms you build once and reuse, instead of rebuilding the same schedule every week. An alarm clock for a week that never looks the same twice.

Note: like every alarm app, DateDots depends on your phone's own settings to ring on time. Please do not rely on it as your only alarm for anything where missing it could cause harm. Keep a second, independent alarm for those.
