Help Simplest alarm clock app?

[LeFunk]

Hello, I'm looking for the simplest alarm clock app possible: where you just press the wake up time (for example 08:17 + OK and that's it. Apps that I have tried so far have too many bells and whistles - I don't need the app to remember the time for future wake ups, no fancy but cumbersome interface with a dial etc - just the most basic thing.

Stupid Simple Alarm Clock was brilliant, but unfortunately it doesn't work well with newer Android versions - system hibernates it and also the wake up time isn't displayed on the message bar any more.

Sounds like a good challenge, I will have a look later, just about to start work.

This should be easy to build.

Relax there is some brainiacs out there.

Did you report this issue to the developer of Stupid Simple Alarm Clock?

This is how developers are made aware of things like this.

To be honest, this seems to be a common issue with the last few Android versions.

The alarm clock is a little more complicated than i thought but this app from git hub would be a really good starting point,

TBH I only use the alarm app that comes with the phone. The combination of Doze + very aggressive app killing in the Android implementations of most manufacturers mean that third party apps are very much hit and miss when it comes to notifications. See https://dontkillmyapp.com/
Also, Doze exemptions are only partial ; unless you are rooted, you cannot fully exempt an app from Doze. This is explained on Android's official docs https://developer.android.com/train...tate/doze-standby#support_for_other_use_cases but is a widely misunderstood point.

People have notified him, but I doubt that it helps because the app was last updated 7 years ago.

I really miss its usability and simplicity.

Have you tried Simple Clock?
It is not exactly what you had, but I use it.

On my Android 11, I have the same issue as you do, but it is worth a shot because it works on all of my other devices.

Thanks! I started using Early Bird Alarm Clock, which seems pretty similar
