Alarm App

I see a lot of room for improvement in the native iOS alarm app. It takes multiple clicks to edit, the title of the alarms are difficult to differentiate from the set dates, I have trouble recognizing the dates at a glance, and I can barely tell the difference between AM and PM alarms.

Here are some features I'd like to see in an alarm app:
- A color is attributed to each hour of the day; no more mixing up AM and PM (any differentiation between AM and PM would work for me).
- One touch to edit an alarm.
- Fun interaction to switch alarms on and off. This interaction is seen in the native iOS mail app to quickly mark emails as read/unread (the animation in this shot is a little slow...).
- Information differentiation; the title of the alarm and dates have very different styling, great for catching the information you need at a glance.

I'm thinking about building this out. What do you think?
