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?

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/
