Still no way to turn off vibrate just for alarm?

Put the phone on the bed or its own little pillow. It reduces the vibration significantly.

You can have the phone vibrate while the phone is not on silent mode (just give everything a vibrate "ringtone")

Since you keep your phone on Silent. Then might I suggest disabling the vibrate for Ring?

Settings---> Sounds---> Turn Off Vibrate on Ring and Turn On Vibrate on Silent.

Then set your Do Not Disturb so that you can sleep. But once the your Alarm goes off, all you'll hear is the alarm and no vibration. That is if you have the ringer on Ring instead of Silent.

thats the only thing i hate ios!

since ios 1 no alarm clock without vibration switch!!

Yay, just found this solution and it worked for me! I wasn't expecting it to work because you are going into the ringtone preferences, but I chose the 'silk' tone and turned off the vibrate option. Even though I use a different tone for my phone ringer the 'silk' alarm clock doesn't vibrate unless I turn on the physical 'vibrate' switch above the volume buttons.

This is my preferred solution. At least this way, you keep vibrations on other types of notification.

So, on your iPhone, browse to the Settings app and go into Sounds.

Scroll down to Sounds And Vibration Patterns and click into your Ringtone.

You should see an option for Vibration. It’s usually set to Alert (Default), but you should go to the bottom of this screen and choose None instead.

Now, test this out by going to your Clock app and testing the ringtone on the Alarm settings. It should sound the ringtone you’ve selected, but not vibrate. Set the volume of the ringer to your desired level by using the volume buttons on the side of the phone.

This didn't work for me. Still vibrates only with the alarm... Can't believe we can't get this fixed.

Alright so not sure how you guys might feel about this one but I personally have come up with a solution. In the sounds section of settings, I turned off "vibrate on ring" while leaving "vibrate on silent on". The only thing you have to do is at night turn your phones' sound on. Personally I also turn "do not disturb" mode on too but that one is your choice. This will cause your alarm to not vibrate when it goes off. It definitely helps me wake up in the mornings.

Hope it helps you too

This worked in iOS 6, stopped in iOS7, and works again in iOS7.1 (for me at least).

I don't like it as a solution because it completely disables vibration for texts and calls, etc. It does work if you want to turn off "Vibrate on Ring" every night then turn it on again in the morning, along with Do Not Disturb. Too many steps in the menu you'd have to take twice a day. Why can't there just be a On/Off setting in the Alarm for vibrate..?

The only solution I've been able to find that works = disable the vibrate on ring and vibrate on silent, but it does mean the phone will not vibrate when you receive a text message, chat alert etc.

Depends on how badly you don't want the phone to vibrate on the alarm.

I have seen many answers that did not work here. So here is my clear explanation of what I had to do, using iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone, to get it so that the horrible buzzing vibrate does not happen when you set the clock alarm clock. It is not a dream solution, because the method does ALSO influence the vibration behavior for OTHER sounds on your phone.

1-- In settings > sounds, down inside the section Reminder Alerts I have vibration set to none. (this may not actually be necessary for the above goal. just how I have it set.)

2-- In settings > sounds, down inside the section Calendar Alerts I have vibration set to none. (this may not actually be necessary for the above goal. just how I have it set.)

3-- The main thing: In settings > sounds, at the very top, I had to turn both Vibrate on Ring and Vibrate on Silent OFF. (The reason I turned that Vibrate on Silent to be off is because I have my settings > Do Not Disturb > Scheduled set to make my phone go into Do Not Disturb mode between 10pm and 7am. So for this "no vibrate on alarm" goal, I have to have Vibrate on Silent off, or the phone would say, oh, he's in silent mode because of do not disturb... I should do Vibrate! ... You may wonder why my alarm would be set for a time inside my do not disturb period. That's because the only time I use my alarm is when I am getting up at weird ungodly hours for flights, etc. I don't use my alarm for normal waking before work.)

Under these circumstances, your alarm clock will not make the horrible buzz before ringing.

... But again, this is not a happy solution, because it will also have an effect on your phone's RINGER... your ringer will now never vibrate. So, if you never hear your phone when it's ringing in your pocket... the function of the vibrate to remedy that situation is disabled by this method.

Apple really does need to create an additional entry in the Settings > Sounds section just to address the Clock Alarm... it is ridiculous.

Just an update: 7/24/2014 and Apple still hasn't fixed this.

Please fix, Apple!

This enables me to get a wakeup alarm without vibrate in the morning AND in the day time get vibrate on call when the Silent switch is set to mute sounds.

My solution is to set vibrate on call OFF, vibrate on silent ON, Select a ringtone vibration pattern, Set automatic do not disturb period to include my wakeup time, silent switch set to not mute sounds during night time (do not disturb period takes care of that).

iOS 8 but probably also iOS 7

All you have done is disable Vibrate on Ring. That's been the case for many iterations of iOS. People want a Vibrate on Ring option and an Alarm without vibrate.

Until Apple implements an option to modify/disable vibration in the Alarm... we're not getting it without jailbreaking.

I get that. LIke the original poster, I keep my phone on silent most of the daytime, where it is a solution that is not obvious for some users (previously including me). The few times when I do have silent off during daytime and walk by a noisy place, I will miss the call.
