You can choose your alarm sound, add a Fade In, and enable Snooze. Please also ensure that the notification permission for BetterSleep is active on your device settings.
When the alarm rings, it will trigger a notification. This notification will only appear if you authorize notifications for BetterSleep on your device.

Tapping on the notification should open the alarm page.
