AlarmKit

Schedule prominent alarms and countdown timers that surface on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch. AlarmKit requires iOS 26+ / iPadOS 26+. Alarms override Focus and Silent mode automatically.

AlarmKit builds on Live Activities -- every alarm creates a system-managed Live Activity with templated UI. You configure the presentation via AlarmAttributes and AlarmPresentation rather than building custom widget views.

See references/alarmkit-patterns.md for complete code patterns including authorization, scheduling, countdown timers, snooze handling, and widget setup.
