Feature request - Different weekday and weekend alarms

[howels]

Testing out some sleep trackers, this looks useful but would appreciate a different alarm setting for weekdays and weekends.

This feature is unlikely to arrive for a while.

My intention was to allow google calendar integration, so that events from specific calendars would trigger alarms. Does this seem like a good solution to you?

That would allow for very complex alarm patterns, but most apps with alarms would allow for the alarm to repeat and let the user select a pattern. The more normal approach in my view would be to have a "repeat" option where the user can select a weekly repeat and then enable days within the repeat option, for example "Saturday, Sunday".

Using Google Calendar will also worry some people as they will wonder what data is being read on their calendar, and at first it is confusing that an alarm app would need to read a calendar. Given the recent focus on data privacy people are more worried about this.

Good point, I agree.
