Some mornings
can wait.

SkipAlarm includes public holiday calendars for 49 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Regional holidays depend on your selected region; the US calendar covers federal holidays. Some Swiss holidays vary by municipality. Greece's Clean Monday, Good Friday and Whit Monday are optional because days off depend on the employment sector; May Day transfers require official announcements. Check your employer's calendar and add any missing days yourself.

Yes, supported countries are Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Liechtenstein, Italy, Spain and Switzerland (19 cantons). Choose your school region or grade level and enable “Skip School Holidays” for each alarm you want to pause. In Italy, choose the region; South Tyrol is selected automatically when it is your holiday province. In Spain, the selected autonomous community applies automatically, except in Andalusia and Aragon, where you must choose a province. Dates also appear under “Region & Holidays.” School holidays for the Azores and Madeira are not yet supported. In Switzerland, Appenzell Innerrhoden, Bern, Fribourg, Graubünden, Obwalden, Solothurn and Valais are not yet supported. Swiss dates follow the cantonal general-school calendar; municipal and individual school calendars may differ. Check your school's calendar and add missing days as days off. Fetching and updating dates requires an internet connection; downloaded dates remain available offline. Only published dates are available; Italian and Spanish source calendars currently lack up-to-date dates. The app shows when dates are missing or outdated and never estimates summer holidays from the last day of school. Skipping requires the free trial or Pro.

Yes. SkipAlarm uses Apple's AlarmKit to ring even in Silent mode and with Focus enabled, provided you've granted alarm permission. Turn off matching alarms in the Clock app separately — SkipAlarm can't pause those.

Yes. SkipAlarm schedules individual alarms up to twelve weeks ahead, subject to the system alarm limit. “Scheduled until” shows the period actually covered without gaps. Open the app regularly to extend it. Background refresh isn't guaranteed; a weekly Shortcuts automation that runs “Refresh Alarms” is an additional safeguard. Allow notifications for a reminder one week before coverage ends, or sooner if the remaining period is shorter.

Your regular alarms continue to work, but public holiday, school holiday and vacation skipping, pausing until further notice, extra alarm days, one-day time changes and custom alarm sounds require Pro. Without Pro, alarms use the default sound. Unlock Pro with a one-time purchase to keep those features. The trial doesn't automatically turn into a paid purchase.

No. You pick your region yourself, and public holiday calculations happen on your device. School holiday dates and one-off public holidays are downloaded from the OpenHolidays API when needed and cached locally. Your alarms and chosen region are not sent. There's no SkipAlarm account, no advertising, and no third-party analytics. See our privacy policy for details about downloads. Apple handles any App Store purchases.

Yes. Besides weekdays, an alarm can follow a rotation of days, for example “2 on, 2 off,” repeat every few weeks, ring every other day or ring just once. For several shifts in one rotation, “Add Another Shift” saves the alarm and continues with a new one for the same rotation. Public holidays, vacations and days off are skipped as usual if you enable it.

Alarms follow the local time by default. If you need to keep a time from home, for example for a call with your team, let the alarm ring at home time; the local time is shown below. After a change of time zone, SkipAlarm shows when your next alarm rings in local and home time. Allow notifications to get this note right away.

English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish and Swedish. The website remains available in English and German.

SkipAlarm is made for iPhone with iOS 26 or later and iPad with iPadOS 26 or later. Allow alarm access during setup so your alarms can ring. Notification permission is optional, but needed for the heads-up the evening before and reminders.
