Bug description

Hi :) There is a small UX issue that can make the date on the home screen slightly confusing.

The home screen displays:

  • the current time
  • the current date (weekday, day of the month, month)
  • the next alarm (alarm icon weekday, day of the month, month, time)

The problem is that the weekday, day of the month, month is displayed twice on consecutive lines.

Steps to reproduce the bug

For example, today the current date is:
Sun., Oct. 4

and (if the next alarm is tomorrow at 06:00) the line below shows:
🔔 Mon., Oct. 5, 06:00

At a quick glance at the screen, one might mistakenly take October 5th for the current date rather than the time of the next alarm. The information itself is correct :) this is just a small readability UI suggestion to make the home screen easier to scan at a glance.

Expected behavior

Perhaps it would be enough to simply shorten the alarm information. For example:
🔔 06:00

    And what happens if the alarm is 3 days from now? How would you know that?

    And what happens if the alarm is 3 days from now? How would you know that?

    Okay, I see your point. So I understand that the current behavior is intentional :) But for me, a daily alarm is more like part of my daily routine - I wake up at the same time every day. So seeing the alarm date there doesn't really add useful information in my case.

    However, I agree that if someone doesn't have such a routine (for example, they wake up naturally rather than using a phone alarm), your perspective makes a lot of sense.

    Maybe there could be an option to selectively choose which details are displayed in the alarm line? For example, whether to show the alarm date, time, or both :)

    I'll add a toggle to show date. Will that work?

    Also it's intended to have alarms from calender events too.
