How to disable the Snooze button of your iPhone alarm

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated June 7, 2022

Having the ability to snooze when your alarm rings has probably saved millions of people from getting to work late by ringing the alarm again and not letting you continue sleeping. But I find it to be an annoying feature. When my alarm rings, I just don't want to snooze and fall back half asleep, only to be reminded nine minutes later that it's really time to wake up when the alarm rings again.

Up until recently, I hadn't realized you could actually disable the Snooze button altogether. Granted, I don't use alarms very often, which is probably why I never noticed this option was right there in front of me. If you're anything like me and want to disable the Snooze option from your alarms, then read on.

Jeff Benjamin ∙ September 20, 2015

One could argue that iOS 9's new swipe to delete feature in the stock Clock app was borrowed from a jailbreak tweak, but the implementation of such a feature is so obvious that concluding such wouldn't be fair.

Regardless of how it got there, swipe to delete is finally implemented into the stock Clock app in iOS 9. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's super-happy to see this handy gesture make its way to an app that many of us use regularly.

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated December 30, 2014

Born and raised in France where we use 24-hour clocks, the AM/PM time is something I had to adapt to when I moved to the States.

TimeForAlarm 2: display the time remaining before an alarm clock sounds

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 27, 2014

Have you ever tried to calculate in your mind how many hours you have to sleep before you need to wake up?
