Hi Product Hunt I’m the maker of Akaru, a calendar-based alarm app for iOS. The main idea behind Akaru is simple: your alarm time should be visible on the calendar, without tapping each date. Many alarm apps let you create repeating alarms, and some calendar-style apps let you set alarms by date. But in many cases, you still have to open each day to check what time the alarm is set for. Akaru shows the alarm time for each day directly on a monthly calendar. This makes it easy to see your upcoming wake-up schedule at a glance. It’s useful when your mornings change because of weekdays, weekends, holidays, school events, early meetings, shift work, or remote work days. You can set rules for weekdays, holidays, and special dates, add extra alarms, and tap a date to customize exceptions when needed. This is my first step toward bringing Akaru to users outside Japan, so I’d love to hear your feedback. Would seeing your alarm times directly on a monthly calendar be useful for your routine?
