The latest Indie App Spotlight from 9to5Mac features VariAlarm, a new iPhone app that dynamically adjusts alarms based on your schedule rather than fixed times. Instead of manually toggling dozens of alarms daily, users can create templates for different days - like a 5:45am alarm for gym days or 7am for work days. The app eliminates the need to constantly manage your alarm settings.

VariAlarm integrates with Apple Calendar to automatically sync your schedule and adjust alarms accordingly. If a morning meeting gets rescheduled, your wake-up alarm shifts too. The app leverages the new alarms API in iOS 26 to deliver a native-feeling experience with customizable volume and duration settings. Lock screen widgets help users stay aware of their upcoming alarms.

The app is free on the App Store for iPhone users running iOS 26 or later. For enhanced features including additional templates, automations, and scheduling, VariAlarm Pro is available for $1.99 per month or $14.99 annually. A 7-day free trial is offered, with a limited-time lifetime purchase option for $14.99.
