They stop the alarm. Two minutes later: another alarm, called "jk".

Open this page in Safari on an iPhone. The file goes straight into Shortcuts.

What happens

The first time they stop an alarm each day, the shortcut quietly creates a new alarm for two minutes later, labelled β€œjk”. Once a day only, so it can’t loop.

Setup

  1. Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
  2. Long-press it in Shortcuts β†’ All Shortcuts β†’ Rename and call it Alarm Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
  3. Shortcuts β†’ Automation β†’ + β†’ Alarm, choose Is Stopped and Any Alarm, select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
  4. Run it once now and tap Always Allow on every prompt, or the prank fizzles on a permission dialog later. (Running it creates a β€œjk” alarm. Run the cleanup afterwards.)

Undo

Run the cleanup shortcut (download below). It deletes only what this prank created, which here means alarms labelled exactly β€œjk”. Then delete the automation.
