SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you implement iOS/iPadOS alarms and countdown timers that integrate with Apple’s system presentation (Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch), so users get reliable, native-feeling alert experiences without building custom UI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Alarm and timer scheduling: Create one-time alarms or duration-based countdown timers using AlarmManager.
  • Native system UI presentation: Configure AlarmPresentation and AlarmAttributes so the system renders templated UI across Lock Screen/Dynamic Island and (where applicable) Apple Watch.
  • Snooze, pause, stop actions: Wire stop and snooze behaviors via LiveActivityIntent implementations and track lifecycle via alarmUpdates.
  • Authorization and state observation: Request AlarmKit authorization up front and observe authorization/alarm state transitions asynchronously.
  • Live Activity integration: Support countdown/paused presentation with the required widget extension target.

Quick Start

Use the alarmkit Skill to schedule a countdown-style timer for iOS 26+ that displays a native countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with working pause and stop actions.

Request AlarmKit authorization up front via AlarmManager and asynchronously observe authorization and alarm state transitions before scheduling alarms or countdown timers in SwiftUI.

What is the best way to show a paused countdown timer state in an iOS widget?▼

Support a widget extension target to render countdown and paused Live Activity states, tracking alarm lifecycle transitions via alarmUpdates to reflect the current timer status natively.
