I've been using https://www.dueapp.com on my iOS devices since pre-iOS 7 and it has offered features this article makes sound impossible before iOS 26.
The local notifications chain on iOS may still be limited to 64 alerts, but an app can easily just schedule the next 64 pending items and update that when any background app refresh or app launch occurs.
I think this developer might quickly find what I often do on v1-v? of Apple "Kits" ... it won't be that useful and will have some serious drawback and you'll still be working around it to do what you want. Hope I'm wrong, but also, it can likely already be done like Due app shows.

Yes, we've also been solving existing problems using a similar approach.
However, AlarmKit solves several issues that were previously impossible, such as displaying full-screen alarm interfaces rather than just push notifications.

I hope it is reliable. The main reason I came back to iPhone from Android was that the 3 Android phones I bought from different manufacturers all had time and clock and time-zone related issues that made them unreliable, especially when traveling.
The iPhone has been rock solid with Alarms. Hopefully AlarmKit is also rock solid, but my first-hand experience with new Apple "Kits" has been very poor.
