Description

**Allows to skip upcoming alarm(s), but they'll go off next time** [Requires the free Actions App](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/actions/id1586435171) **Disabling upcoming alarms when phone removed from charger** 1. Create a new "Charger" automation for when phone is disconnected from charger (run immediately, and do not notify when run) and select this shortcut to run when the automation is triggered 2. The shortcut will silently run and see if there are any enabled alarms within the next N minutes (configurable in the shortcut) 3. If any shortcuts are found, it will send a notification to the user "Tap to disable upcoming alarm(s)". Tap the notification and it will disable the upcoming alarm(s) **Re-enabling alarms** 1. After alarms are disabled in step 1, the shortcut will schedule another notification to go off 15 seconds after the *last* disabled alarm would have triggered; "Tap to re-enable alarm(s)" 2. When the user taps that notification, the alarm(s) disabled in step 1 are re-enabled **Notes:** * Setup: Inside the shortcut, configure 1) how many minutes ahead to look for upcoming alarms, and 2) whether all such upcoming alarms should be skipped or just the soonest. * Suggest to enable notification "alerts" for the Actions app so that the notifications from this shortcut don't automatically dismiss (specifically the one to re-enable alarms). * Pro: Works with any alarm (e.g. some people set alarms using automations based on their calendar schedule) and works with multiple alarms. * Con: Re-enabling alarms requires that that the user interact with the phone by tapping the notification after the alarms would have gone off. * Con: Due to how Actions' notifications work, it's less than beautiful. When you tap the notification, the phone must be unlocked, then it will quickly open the Actions app before switching to the Shortcuts app to run the shortcut. But it works.
