has nobody who works at apple ever actually gotten up before their alarm? it is unthinkable to me that in the decades of this computer existing, still the only option for me if i get up before my alarm, is to either dig through the alarm app with my aching hands to disable the alarm permanently (and then hopefully remember to turn it back on later but only after the remaining 30 minutes go by so i'll probably forget),

or else ??? shove the phone under my pillow and shut my bedroom door ?? so i can't hear it going off ?? while i'm brushing my teeth or shaving or i'm in the shower. and then come back to find my alarm having been going off continuously under my pillow for the past 15 minutes

or like if you have three closely-spaced alarms for the morning, but you want to sleep in for an hour longer than usual? why can’t i timeshift alarms as a group???

toggle: "skip next"

when the alarm would go off, if this is set, no alarm and it unsets

"adjust next" is only a hair more complex

both are data-independent from the alarm they modify so batch application on several alarms at once is perfectly reasonable, just need to actually make them multi-selectable

money please Apple and Google

in reply to @akhra's post:

google phones already has a button right there on the lock screen you can press to skip the upcoming alarm, so you don't need to unlock your phone or go digging through the clock app or anything

it's been a solved problem for so long but apple has just refused to implement it and it drives me up a wall

Sure, and in the "woke up early" case that shows up in time to make a difference, but not in the "tomorrow's a holiday but I don't want to risk forgetting to turn my alarm back on for the day after" case. And the one-time shift is not available anywhere AFAIK?

But yeah it sounds like Apple's (non-)handling is rather egregious.
