Can I tell you about our good lord and savior; snooze?
The problem is (at least on android by default) the difference between turning off a timer (losing your job and your wife and becoming homeless) or hitting snooze is literally swiping to the left or to the right. While you are basically still asleep. That is literally the dumbest fucking horse shit UX every created and that’s why multiple timers are needed so you can either snooze or turn the alarm off and still get a second chance for not becoming homeless.
I have an old school alarm clock. I’ve had it for over 20 years now and my wife hates it. But it’s still fully functional.
snooze… snooze… snooze… snooze… snooze…
alarm clock gives in. shuts it down until tomorrow.
but my flip phone, i have to open and push the correct button to shut off an alarm. that’s enough to wake me up enough to piss me off. so i guess it ‘works’.
I am in this picture and I don’t like it!

There are apps that will require you to do something to shut them off.
I have to go scan a QR code on my coffee maker to shut off the alarm, but you can do stuff like solve math problems.
My cousin slept on my couch for a night, had forgotten to deactivate his alarm for the weekend, so his alarm went off waking me tf up.
So I had to walk out of my room and solve a fucking puzzle I’d never seen before while the bastard slept thru it all
He’s the heaviest sleeper on Earth.
That’s me. 😅 I have 7:45 8:00 8:35 & 9:00. I found out that this is the perfect setup for me. Depending on how tired I am I can take a nap until the next alarm. If I wake up I dismiss them anyway.
I had to start using my damn phone alarm again after my useless Google speakers failed to trigger them a couple times. WTF, do they save the alarms on the cloud or something? Seems like something that should be running locally and should rarely fail, it’s a damn alarm, not a Space Shuttle.
