Download shortcut⏱ 45s setup

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

What happens

Every snooze, a voice announces β€œSnooze detected. Tax collected.” and the flashlight switches on and stays on for the full nine minutes.

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 Snooze Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
  3. Shortcuts β†’ Automation β†’ + β†’ Alarm, choose Is Snoozed 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.

Undo

Open Shortcuts β†’ Automation, swipe left on the automation and tap Delete. Then delete the shortcut. If the flashlight is still on, swipe into Control Center and turn it off.
