Why does the clock app not have date options? I have been setting up my calendar and found some good use with it. My work schedule is every 3rd day (24/48 schedule) and I know there is an alert option on the calendar app. However, I would like to set up an alarm either on the calendar app or an every 3rd day option on the clock app to wake me up on the mornings that I need to go into work. I constantly am turning off my alarm on the days I'm off and then have to remember to turn it back on the night before I have work. I have forgotten to turn on my alarm a few times, causing me to wake up too late for work. If there could be an improvement on either app, it would help a TON! If there is any solution to my issue, it would be appreciated.

Scheduling a Toggle for Alarms On/Off Since Monday is a holiday and I don't go into work, I turned off my Mon-Fri alarm for 6:30AM. Is there a way I can schedule my Mon-Fri alarm to turn back on at say, noon on Monday so I don't forget/sleep in on Tuesday? This happens a lot (obviously x amount of holidays a year). I'm sure this would be great for vacations etc. too. Thanks

Vacation Mode for Alarms Hello. I need a way to Suppress All or Suppress Selected Alarms for “x” days. Currently I turn each one off. I have many alarms (at least 8 daily alarms and several weekly ones). My worry is that when I turn them all off that I will forget to enable them properly when back to my normal schedule. Any ideas? Maybe a shortcut? Perhaps a new feature to consider?

There's no built in function for that, but you could look into creating a Shortcut that looks runs once a day (see: Automation), and checks for a specific type of event in your calendar. If it finds it, it can turn off your alarm for the day.

There's an active Shortucts community on reddit, see https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/zky92z/shortcut_holiday_alarm_check/, https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/jcnpvw/shortcut_automation_to_turn_off_alarm_on_holidays/
