What is betterAlarm?

betterAlarm is a free jailbreak tweak released by NoisyFlake that brings a complete overhaul of the stock iOS timer and alarm screen that appears on the Lock Screen. The tweak supports all modern jailbreaks running iOS 14, iOS 15, and iOS 16, including the rootless environment such as Dopamine and Palera1n. betterAlarm was at first released as a paid package, but now it's free.

After successfully installing the betterAlarm tweak, a dedicated preference pane is seamlessly integrated into the Settings app. This intuitive interface allows you to not only enable the tweak, but also customize an array of available options according to your preferences.

With betterAlarm, you have the power to transform the aesthetics of your alarms and timers, and you can even incorporate them into the Status Bar. This unique functionality replaces the carrier name in the Status Bar with a preview of the upcoming alarm, providing easy access to modify or disable it with a simple tap. Now, you can seamlessly personalize your alarm experience and effortlessly manage your alarms directly from the Status Bar.

NoisyFlake has taken great care to provide you with the utmost flexibility, enabling you to effortlessly modify the design's appearance to suit everyone's taste.

With betterAlarm tweak, the possibilities to customize your alarm screen are endless. You have the freedom to fine-tune various aspects of its appearance. For starters, you can choose the position of the buttons, whether you prefer them at the top or bottom of the screen. If Smart Snooze is disabled, you can also adjust the amount of screen space each button occupies.

Adding to the customization options, you can select a background color that suits your taste. The support for gradients enables you to create visually stunning effects. Not only that, you can customize the text color to ensure optimal visibility and readability. Additionally, you have the flexibility to adjust the text size according to your preference.

The best part is that these customization options are not limited to a specific mode. You can set them separately for both timers and alarms, and you can even customize each button individually. betterAlarm is compatible with non-rootless and rootless jailbreaks.

Smart Snooze feature lets you define a fixed number of max snoozes. Each time you press the snooze button, the next time the alarm goes off the snooze button will be a bit smaller.

Activate the QR code confirmation feature in BetterAlarm. By enabling this option, you'll need to scan a designated QR code to silence the alarm completely. Take the excitement up a notch by printing out the QR code and strategically placing it in a room of your choosing. This way, you'll have to physically get out of bed and locate the QR code to start your day.
