I am aware of it. On Google Play you may encounter money demand, but in F-Droid or GitHub releases you just simply cannot. Note that Alarmio is not still maintained but when I tested it I did not encounter any issues with it, so I acknowledged polished experience rule.

On Google Play it is not but on F-Droid and GitHub it is.

Then you don't have to lock your phone to disable it. The fact that it hasn't been updated does not bother me. It is just an alarm clock which functions properly at least in my phone. But I can understand if you don't want to use it. In such a case, you can try Alarmio, Clock+, or Simple Alarm Clock.

[question] Anyone know to how to get rid of the mouse cursor in DOSbox-pure? Yes, I've tried f11 mouse toggle. Normally in pc/mac to fix this, I would go into Full screen mode, and it would hide the mouse cursor. I'm using a firestick on my TV in this picture instead. Can the arrow be hidden?
