In addition when exiting SimpleAlarms,
SimpleClockPro
will show the state of any alarms as follows:

on

Pending alarms
running
off

 Features

  • The advantage of running SimpleAlarms as an addon to SimpleClockPro is it can be called directly from the watch face, and
  • if either the app or the clock face are running the Alarm alert will occur.


  • For short periods SimpleAlarms can also be installed as a standalone App, however Fitbit don't allow access to system alerts unless the app is running.

If the app is closed the alarm alert won't occur.

  • Tip: For Sense and Versa 3 watches, use the watch Settings to assign SimpleAlarms
  •  to the watch long press short-cut for easy starting.

  • For All watches, SimpleAlarms launch icon can also be moved to the first Apps screen on the watch for quick access.
