I’m looking for an alarm clock app alternative to the Google Clock, which I use mainly because it allows me to link a Spotify playlist to an alarm. Do you know about any app with similar characteristics? If not, then what is the best alarm clock app you would recommend?

I hope it’s not a Playlist you enjoy the music of. Waking up to good songs sucks the joy right out of them

I want a music playing alarm app that’s permanently locked to Sonny and Cher’s , “I got you babe”.

Respectfully disagree. I’ve been waking up to Chum Lair from the Sable video game OST for a couple years now. I wake up in a good mood because me and my girlfriend think it’s absolutely ridiculous and hilarious.

Chrono from f-droid is the perfect clock app. Good UI, all the features you’d need, no internet permission.

Just wanted to say that I like Chrono app, dev responded to me and added the feature I need real quick.

Unfortunately it happened to me a few times that alarm didn’t work in «on specified week days» mode. I woke up naturally in time though. It’s possible that this is a bug in MIUI specifically.

In normal mode (where you turn the alarm on to trigger tomorrow) it works perfect for me.

I also had the same problem with Chrono and some other alarm applications. I think the ones that worked well had SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM in their permissions, but of course, that’s just a guess. This one is my favorite: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

perfect

Sadly, it seems to lack Google Clock’s ability to pause for a specified date range.

Finding anything FOSS with Spotify integration will be basically impossible. Clock You is a great clock/alarm app in general, of course no Spotify integration though. But you can choose custom music you have downloaded on your device.

I’ve been happily using the clock app that comes embedded with LineageOS for years now.

If you don’t want to switch to LineageOS,
then you can still find/install it from ApkMirror:

Alarmio. No clue about Spotify, but you can choose a custom song.

Weird, FDroid website returned a 404,and searching for Alarmio came up empty.

And yet using the F-Droid app I could find it and it’s the same link you posted.
