A short rest after lunch should not need another alarm's hour and minute. Open Quick nap in Dotori Alarm Clock. Tap +15 minutes to schedule an alarm for 15 minutes from now. You do not need to calculate a clock time or open a new alarm editor. Keep short rest alarms and your usual morning alarms in the same Android app.

Tap the duration you want

The Quick nap tab on the main screen offers 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. Tapping a duration immediately schedules a one-time alarm. Time starts when you tap, rather than when you fall asleep. If you choose 15 minutes, the first ring is scheduled for 15 minutes after that tap.

The list shows the nap label, its scheduled time and the time remaining. Check it alongside your workday and weekend alarms, and edit or delete it when needed. Adding a nap does not require changing the time of an existing repeating alarm.

Open Quick nap on the main screen.
Tap a duration, such as +15 minutes.
Check the scheduled time and time remaining in the list.

Keep your usual alarm settings

A quick nap uses your default alarm sound, volume, vibration and snooze policy. Choose the usual repeat limit, waiting interval and ring duration in Settings first. These defaults let you start another nap without choosing the same options every time.

For an alarm that needs a separate policy, turn off Follow app defaults in its editor. The snooze limit counts additional rings after the first. Choose zero to disable snooze, select 1–10 repeats, or use Unlimited within the current occurrence. Wait intervals range from 1 to 60 minutes. An optional step-down shortens later waits by one or two minutes. The minimum is one minute.

Preview the upcoming rings

Before saving, the schedule preview shows the first ring and upcoming snoozes, up to six steps. It includes both the time spent ringing and the waiting interval. Check expected times without adding the settings together yourself.

The preview assumes that each timed ring runs without a response. Snoozing manually or pausing for an overlapping alarm can change the actual times. When another alarm starts, the earlier alarm waits in a queue. Its remaining ring time and snooze progress are preserved.

Use the timer and stopwatch too

For a countdown, open Quick timer. Start a preset or enter hours, minutes and seconds. Check the time remaining for each running timer. Each timer ends automatically with one short beep. Your nap alarm's snooze policy does not apply to timers.

The stopwatch supports start, pause, resume and reset. Record up to 100 laps with split and cumulative times. Timing continues when you leave and reopen the app. For a regular clock-time alarm, use the wheel or type the digits. Check the next ring before saving.

No ads on ringing and dismissal screens

Ringing, snooze and dismissal screens have no ads. No interstitial appears after dismissal. The main list displays a banner. Alarm settings and recent completion results stay on your device without an account. See the privacy policy for advertising SDK data handling.

Check permissions and alarm volume in System check before using the app. Try the 10-second test ring. Alarms cannot ring while the phone is powered off or the app is force-stopped. Manufacturer battery management can also affect delivery. The app does not detect when you fall asleep or measure sleep benefits.

For your next short break, choose a nap duration. View Dotori Alarm Clock on Google Play.

A workday alarm may need several repeats while a weekend reminder needs only one ring. Dotori Alarm Clock gives each Android alarm its own snooze interval, repeat limit and ring duration. Before saving, you can check when the upcoming rings are expected. Repeating alarms, quick naps and overlapping alarms stay in the same app.

Choose a snooze policy for each alarm

Start with an app-wide default policy in Settings. Each alarm can follow those defaults. Turn off that option in the editor to set a separate policy. This lets a workday alarm and a weekend alarm use different schedules. The main list shows the time, repeating weekdays and policy together.

Choose a wait interval from 1 to 60 minutes. The snooze limit counts additional rings after the first. Turn it off with zero, select 1–10, or choose Unlimited. An optional step-down reduces each following wait by one or two minutes, with a one-minute minimum. Set ring duration separately so the time spent ringing and the time spent waiting are clear.

Check the expected ring times before saving

Numbers in separate settings do not always make the resulting schedule obvious. The editor's Schedule preview shows the first ring and upcoming snooze times, up to six steps. In the updated example screen, the alarm starts at 07:00 and rings for one minute. It waits five minutes, rings again at 07:06, then waits four minutes before ringing at 07:11.

The preview assumes each ring goes unanswered for its full duration. Tapping Snooze early or pausing an occurrence when another alarm arrives can shift the actual times. Auto-snooze uses one snooze count when a ring times out. The next wait starts if repeats remain. Selecting End occurrence instead finishes that occurrence and marks it missed.

Choose a time and repeating weekdays, or a specific calendar date.
Keep the default policy or customize this alarm.
Set the repeat limit, wait interval, ring duration and timeout action.
Read the schedule preview, then save the alarm.

Keep overlapping alarms and one-off changes separate

If a second alarm starts while another is ringing, the earlier occurrence moves into the queue. Its remaining ring time and snooze progress are preserved. Switch between active and queued alarms to dismiss one, or stop the whole ringing and queued group. Unrelated alarms already waiting for their next snooze remain separate. An occurrence keeps its starting settings. Later edits apply from the next regular occurrence.

For a single day off, use Skip next on a repeating weekday alarm. The weekly schedule stays enabled, and you can restore the skipped occurrence. For a short rest, main-screen buttons add a one-time nap in 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. There is no need to calculate a clock time each time you want a quick nap.

Try a test ring on your device

System check shows exact alarm permission, notifications and full-screen alerts. It also shows alarm volume and Do Not Disturb status. A ten-second test ring helps check the sound. Slide horizontally to dismiss by default, or switch to a large-button mode in Settings. Ringing, snooze-waiting and dismissal screens have no ads; the main alarm list may show a banner.

Schedules, labels and recent completion records stay on the device without an app account. Android 8.0 or later is supported. Alarms cannot ring while the phone is powered off or the app is force-stopped. Device battery management can also affect operation. Check permissions and try a test ring on your own phone before relying on a schedule.

Start by setting the policy for one alarm. Find Dotori Alarm Clock on Google Play.
