ipod touch alarm

hi

how do i get my alarm on the ipod touch to only play once, so that i dont have to get up and press a button to stop it

i only want it to play one of the 5sec alarms or something just so it unsettles me before i get up so its not so much of a shock

any free apps that will allow me to do this ?

thanks

Auto-Shutoff Alarm clock does what you want, but costs 59p.
Works great for me though.

hmm

what exactly does it do?

how long can u set the alarm to go for before it shuts off?

also, does it mean the app has to be running while it works?

like will you have to leave it on all night, and switch it to never auto lock but on the lowest brightness

The question needs to be asked, what is the point of an alarm which plays for just five seconds, and then never plays again despite there being no indication of it being heard. Depending on how deeply asleep you are when the alarm sounds, a five second alarm even if very loud could fail to wake you.

the whole point is because i want it to not wake me up just unsettle me

if i dont notice it then i can tune it a little louder each time untill it does unsettle me

You can set it to ring for 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 seconds and then it stops.
And yes, the app has to be running.
