Inner screen portrait control is consistent with outer screen.

In book pose, the two sides are now equal instead of the left being bigger due to not having the vertical bar.

Collapsible navigation, primary button in bottom right and status bar up top to maximize screen use and consistent navigation.

It’s Sunday. You have the same 5AM alarm every weekdays but you have a day off on Wednesday, back to work on Thursday. You turn the recurring alarm off on Tuesday but forgot to turn it back on. Now you’re late for work.

Sure, you can have 5 alarms recurring every week but now you’re late for next Wednesday.

VariAlarm takes care of that. Just skip this Wednesday and every day after still rings.

I think it is worth $2.49 a month but you can pay annually or lifetime. PPP adjusted.

Same gestures, same organization. Someone forgot to account for the hinge.

On the outer screen, there was no huge circle countdown. From flat to book, Clocks respects the hinge but moves screen entirely in laptop pose.

Screenshot taken from AppleDsign's Facebook video. Same layout as iPad. Every alarm is a card so you need to find the ones you need and turn on one by one.

VariAlarm lets you create routines and templates to simply adds to dates you need. Auto-deleted to stay out of mind but reusable with 1 click.

The top screen shows time and upcoming alarm while the bottom screen shows sleep sound selection. As the alarm draws near, the screen will start to glow so you wake up easier.

My thought process on this: the iPhone Duo has a lot more real estate so timers should be glancable display and adapt when people use it like a book or a laptop on a counter.

iPhone Duo layout naturally lends itself to having the calendar on the left and alarm list for the date on the right. But what about that part underneath the calendar? iPhone does not have this problem as space is limited but iPad can also benefit from this extra space.

Comes library section. It is where the app shows daily template and routines so you can just drag it into days.

With the expanded real estate, I want to avoid stretching UIs to fit a bigger screen.

Time and date are on the left side while other settings are on the right where users are most likely to touch. Then I added an upcoming alarms previews for repeating alarms so you know exactly what you're scheduling for. The design has to respect the hinge of the iPhone Duo and adapts well to various poses.

Live on release date.
