A feature where you could dismiss the current alarm easily, without having to wait for the alarm to ring again and then dismiss it, but to be able to dismiss the alarm between the "snooze period".

Current situation:

  • Alarm starts to ring
  • You snooze the alarm
  • You get up but don't want the alarm to ring again.

At the moment the only way to disable/postpone a snoozed alarm is to open the phone, go to apps, open clock, disable alarm. But this is a bad idea, if you have an alarm set to repeat on different weekdays. Now you need to re-enable the alarm from the clock app.

A feature to the alarm that you could dismiss it after you have selected snooze but before the alarm rings again would be a nice add to the alarm app. Perhaps show the alarm clock in notifications and from there to dismiss/postpone until it should ring the next time as scheduled.

You can turn off the alarm in clock app. You only have to disable the relevant alarm by click on it.

@Daniel this is not the wished effect. If one uses this, then you would need to re-enable the alarm again, which is kind of redundant. I think what @dmnk is asking is a quick way to silence the alarm until it's needed the next time.

thanks for clarifying this raketti.

@dmnk - no problem. :) I'll update the description (hopefully to better than worse) so it's more straight forward. :) EDIT: Also added an idea how it could be implemented. Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

I like the proposed solution. I use my alarm to wake up but sometimes in my state of slumber, I accidentally select snooze instead of dismiss, and then I have to remember to dismiss it in 5 minutes so I dont wake up my partner and small child (again!)
