How to skip just the next alarm

Short answer: use a "skip next" option instead of turning the alarm off. Only the next ring is skipped and your weekday repeat keeps working.

The problem with turning the alarm off

If you switch a repeating alarm off for a holiday, you have to remember to switch it back on. Many people forget and are late the next workday.

Skip next instead

  • Skip affects one ring only.
  • The alarm turns itself back on for the following day.
  • You can undo the skip any time before it rings.

With Softrise

Tap Skip next on the alarm card or the home screen widget. The time is struck through so you can see it's skipped, and it rings again as usual afterwards.
