It would be nice to have a function to skip an upcoming alarm.

Example: You set up multiple alarms to get up in the morning (because you are maybe lazy as f**k). Say you set up one to 5:30, one to 5:45 and one to 6:00. Now the first alarm goes off at 5:30 and you wake up immediately (yay!). Currently you have two options: Either you wait for the other two alarms to go off as well or you open the clock app and cancel them.

It would me much easier when you could skip the two upcoming alarms in some way without to open the clock app.

Solution (proposal): This could be done by adding a notification for the upcoming alarm (say half an hour before it goes off) and when you tap on this notification the alarm will be skipped.

Related suggestion: Alarm clock: disable once (omit next execution) and maybe also Pre-alarm for alarm clock :)

I think it's very easy just to open the clock app and cancel the following alarms. No reason for wasting developer time on something like this.

@Tanghus I don't agree with you. First, I think Jolla is able to manage their timetable for themselves. Second, it is called a Smartphone... So I think there should be a smarter solution to do these simple tasks. Third, you have to enable the alarms afterwards again and I think this step is easily forgotten, because you have to wait until the alarm time is over. - This is not smart at all.

This would be my first feature request if you weren't already asking it years ago :) Such a feature would make life easier. It's not easy if you're setting up multiple alarms for recurrent events and the first alarm is sufficient because you have to turn off the next alarms and turn them on for the next day :(
