Countdown Alarm
· v1.7.2
About
Countdown Alarm (from Alarm for Garmin) shows what Garmin's alarm never does: how much sleep you'll actually get tonight.
At 10:45 PM, the built-in alarm says 6:30 AM. You do tired mental math. That's how people accept 5–6 hours and pay tomorrow with low energy, weaker workouts, and brain fog.
Countdown Alarm on your wrist:
• Rings in 7h 45m — real rest until wake-up
• 7h 45m rest live while setting alarm — catch a short night before it's too late
• Quick presets, snooze, vibration, bedside dim mode
Adults need ~7–9 hours. The decision happens in the evening. This app makes it obvious.
7-day free trial on your watch, then $9.99/month at alarmforgarmin.com (scan in-app QR). Same app on Garmin store and website.
Leave app open overnight for guaranteed ring (bedside mode).
Privacy: alarm data on watch only. Anonymous device ID for subscription check.
What's new
Fixes sleep tracking: the app no longer records a hidden activity while the alarm is armed, so sleep stages, HRV Status and Body Battery work normally with the countdown open overnight. New Night log (Settings) shows what closed the app during the night, with optional diagnostics upload. Fewer permissions required.
