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.
Just installed. Looks great. Thank you.
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.
I've enjoyed using the Simple Alarm Clock on F-droid, importantly for me, it requires you to hold down the shut off button for a couple seconds which helps prevent me from accidentally shutting off my alarm instead of snoozing it. Only downside for this app and possibly others is that they may not function if your device OS updates in the middle of the night.
Does it have a "day off" feature? Nothing speaks to how horrific US culture is fed by these giant companies that neither apple nor Google has the common sense "I'm off tomorrow, don't do my regular schedule alarm". Instead you have to disable and then set a reminder to turn your alarms back on, which stresses me out about forgetting.
Samsung's stock Clock app has this function.
Envious!
Oh the horror.
Nice jingoism.
I've never once had a problem managing my alarm clock for my days off (though it's a neat idea).
Your whole "Americans don't sleep" nonsense is just that, ignorant nonsense. Maybe take this political bullshit somewhere else, not this post.
Instead, perhaps, email the dev and do the legwork to get this feature, that only you seem to want, added. I do this all the time. Funny, it takes effort on my part to get features, instead of complaining and condemning people.
MANY devs aren't American, so you're insulting them.
It seems dead, hasn't received updates since Jan. 2023
Does an alarm clock really need constant updates?
I don't get this fixation on constant updates. If an app works, and risks are trivial, then what updates are required?
This app doesn't have internet access, or storage access. I'd say risks are almost non-existant.
And even for apps with storage or network access, again, if the other layers of your security are in place, and an app has nominal risks, constant updates aren't necessarily required. Keeping in mind that changes bring errors too.
With new Android versions, permissions (sandboxing) and features change. Even a finished app needs development when new versions may break or alter the environment it expects.
Thats not necessarily dead, some FOSS projects move very slow as these are not the dev's day job. And slow development doesnt equal non-functional. Especially for something as simple as an alarm clock.
Not an alarm, but a timer app.

MultiTimer is brilliant for having a dashboard of purpose made timers that I use all the time (weekly baking, laundry, tea timer, etc) and ad hoc timers.
I use a radio alarm clock or my watch. I like to listen to NPR on wake.
If you can forgo a gui, it shouldn't be hard to write a bash script to do this
