   Is there a clock app in F-Droid that allows "disable this alarm only once"?

   We woke up late this morning because I disabled alarms Friday morning and forgot to turn them on again. Apparently iPhone has this feature, which would have allowed us to sleep in on Friday without permanently disabling anything.

      These do not have advance alarm dismissal:
      - f-droid.org/packages/com.best.…

      These have it:

         f-droid.org/en/packages/pl.asc… is pretty neat. Unrelated to the abive problem, it does the opposite: Single-usr alarms that self-destruct so you don't have to clean up your alarms list.

      I have installed f-droid.org/packages/com.phill… (Clock+) for recurring alarms and f-droid.org/en/packages/pl.asc… (OneTimeAlarm) for my one-offs!

      I have set up my battery of morning and afternoon alarms in Clock+ and emptied the alarm list in the system Clock, except for one alarm that I'm keeping for tomorrow morning until I have really tried and can trust Clock+.

         Well, that was uncharacteristically wise of me. The Clock+ alarm doesn't actually ring for some reason. It currently says it will ring in -15 minutes.

         Too bad, I really liked how the app was supposed to work.

            Trying Better Alarm next. If it actually rings in the morning I'll consider patches to make it allow pre-dismissal up to 24 h before and a not-annoying time input widget.

               One unnecessary choice in Clock+, apart from not working, is that in order to allow pre-dismissal you need to enable pre-alarm notifications.

               You can go into the list of alarms and click Dismiss, but only if that alarm has already popped up "hey, I'm about to ring in (e.g.) 8 h". These two things don't need to be coupled, why not just always show the Dismiss button in the alarm list and then you choose separately if and when you want notifications?

               My use case is going to bed and knowing that "ok, tomorrow is special, so I don't need alarms X, Y and Z". It's not "oh, it says I need to wake up in 8 h, I forgot about that. Nah, I don't want that".
