About Japan Holiday Alarm Clock
Holiday Alarm automatically keeps your alarm quiet on Japanese national holidays, your paid leave and shift days off — and returns to your usual time afterwards.
HOLIDAYS AND YOUR DAYS OFF
Uses the Cabinet Office holiday data, including substitute holidays. Add paid leave, company holidays or the New Year break (Dec 29–Jan 3). Working on a holiday? Make the alarm ring just that day.
SHIFTS AND BIWEEKLY
Weekly, every other week, monthly (e.g. 2nd and 4th Saturday) or shift cycles of 2–28 days (e.g. 4 on / 2 off). Every repeat can skip holidays and days off.
SKIP JUST TOMORROW
Swipe a card, tap a widget or Control Center, or ask Siri to skip only the next alarm. Undo anytime.
SEE THE NEXT 14 DAYS
Home shows your next alarm and which days ring (sun) or rest (moon). The calendar shows holiday names — tap a date to ring or rest just that day.
GENTLE SOUNDS
Soft sounds with fewer high tones that start gently: Morning Mist, Sunny Piano, Canon (Pachelbel), Minuet in G (Bach), Marimba Breeze, a singing bowl, Für Elise, Ode to Joy and Komorebi — plus wind chimes, koto and more. New sounds arrive without an app update. Gradually louder versions and a real test alarm in 2 minutes.
WEATHER-AWARE
See the current weather and temperature on Home, with a sky that shows rain, snow and clouds, and a 10-day forecast in the calendar. Optionally ring earlier when rain or snow is forecast (Premium).
FEWER SURPRISES
Alarms are scheduled up to 28 days ahead and extended whenever you open the app or stop an alarm. If you haven't opened the app for a while, you'll get a reminder 3 days before the schedule runs out (with notifications allowed).
FREE AND PREMIUM
Free to download. Holiday skipping, the New Year break, skip-next, 15 sounds and widgets are free.
Premium is a one-time purchase (not a subscription): more than two repeating alarms, biweekly/monthly/shift repeats, days off, ring-on-this-day, earlier on rainy days and the new sounds.
If you bought version 1.x, all features remain unlocked without purchase.
BEFORE YOU START
Requires iOS 26 or later and alarm permission. Background refresh is up to iOS, so schedules may not be extended if you don't open the app for a long time. Test on your device before important days.
PRIVACY
No personal data is collected. Settings stay on your device. Network access is limited to the holiday CSV, added sounds and, if you turn weather on, Apple’s weather service. No ads, tracking or account.

Latest updates
2.2.0
Version 2.2 makes your Home and Lock Screens look the part.
• Widgets redesigned in the same dawn sky as the app icon. The horizon warms as your next alarm gets closer; stars at night, sun by day
• New large size showing 14 days of ringing and resting days, plus refined Lock Screen widgets
• The moon in the sky follows the real lunar phase: full on full-moon nights, thin on crescent nights. The large widget also shows moon age and phase name
• Snooze on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, redesigned: time left, a progress bar that keeps moving, and a moon-colored Stop button
• New gentle sounds: Für Elise (free), Ode to Joy and Komorebi (Premium). They arrive without an app update
2.1.1
2.1.1 is the "go on, tap it" update.
• The 14-day plan on Home is now tappable. Tap a day to see its weather, holiday and which alarms will ring, and switch "skip this day / ring this day" right there
• Each day in the 14-day plan now shows a weather icon and the high temperature (when weather is on), even if your alarms are off. Handy for planning the weekend
• Weekdays that aren't in your repeat now say "None" instead of staying blank. A blank day looked a bit like a bug. Sorry about that
• The sound picker now has a Save button (checkmark) at the top right. Before, if you picked a sound and swiped the sheet down, your new sound quietly vanished. Now the sheet won't swipe away while you have unsaved changes, so nothing gets lost (tap Cancel at the top left to discard)
• We only ask for a review after you've actually had a day off with the app
Slept in on a holiday? A few words in an App Store review would mean a lot. This app is made by one person, and every review gets read.
1.1.1
• Added “Rate Holiday Alarm” and “Tell a Friend” to Settings.
• The rating request now appears only after you have seen a skip notice, not before.
