A task before the off switch
An alarm clock you have to do a task to turn off.
Only Alarm is a mission alarm clock: it keeps ringing until you complete a wake-up task. If you hear your alarm but turn it off and go back to sleep, a mission adds a deliberate step to your morning.
Choose your time, sound, and available mission settings. Finish the task, then start the first thing you planned for the day.

Questions
Before you download.
What is a mission alarm clock?
Only Alarm is a mission alarm clock for iPhone. It keeps ringing until you complete a wake-up task, adding a deliberate action before you dismiss the alarm.
Learn how mission alarms workCan a task alarm help if I turn my alarm off and go back to sleep?
A task alarm adds a required activity before dismissal. It can be useful when an easy off switch is the problem, but it does not guarantee that you get out of bed or stay awake. Test your setup and plan your first action after the mission.
Build a plan to stop snoozingIs Only Alarm free?
Free to download. A paid subscription is required for full access; current plans and prices are shown in the app. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
How do I cancel?
On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Select Only Alarm, then tap Cancel. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later.
Will the alarm ring if my phone is on silent?
Yes. Only Alarm still sounds when your iPhone is set to silent, so a flipped switch at midnight will not cost you the morning.
What data does the app collect?
Purchase history and a device identifier, both used for app functionality.
