Features & Capabilities

NFC Alarm Clock is a lightweight, open source alarm clock extension designed for complete customization and ease of use. You can effortlessly create, edit, copy, or delete alarms from a single screen with intuitive swipe gestures. Each alarm supports unique configurations including gradual volume increase, volume restriction, and text-to-speech time announcements.

User Reviews

NFC Alarm Clock is praised for its effectiveness, customization, and privacy respect. Users appreciate the open-source nature and developer support. However, common issues include the ability to bypass NFC tag requirement to stop alarms, absence of volume lock, and difficulties with alarm order and tag management. Recent updates have caused functional regressions affecting alarm reliability. Overall, it is a well-liked app with room for improvement, especially in enforcing alarm dismissal via NFC and fixing update-induced bugs.

Pros

Effective in waking users up compared to other alarm apps.
Customizable alarm sounds and home screen appearance.
No annoying ads and respects user data privacy.
Developer is responsive and continues to update the app.
Open source with a clean, simple interface and many useful features.

Cons

Alarms can sometimes be dismissed or snoozed without scanning NFC tags.
Lack of volume lock feature, allowing users to mute or lower volume to avoid alarm.
Issues with alarm ordering and managing multiple NFC tags per alarm.
Inability to close or turn off alarms in some cases leads to app crashes or errors.
Some recent updates introduced bugs causing alarms to not ring properly and only show notifications.

Really great potential, but in need of some big fixes. You have the option to see the nfc code, but not the name of the nfc assigned, so it's pretty easy to forget which nfc will disable your alarm. It would be great if you could choose multiple specific tags to disable an alarm too. Also, there's a few glitches. There is no visible option to alter the snooze (on Samsung s22). I used tasker autoinput to click the invisible "Ok" element, and this seems to work.
