Specialty Alarm Clock App
I'm looking for an alarm clock app for my father. Currently he's using his cell phone (an old Kyocera flip) to wake up every 2-2.5 hours over night. I'm hoping that there's an easier way to do this for him, i.e. set the alarm once and it will automatically set additional ones at the 2hr interval. Although he's got the flip phone now, my mom's old iPhone 5c is at his disposal, as are several other androids (4.0 and up.).
Does this even exist?

His phone has 5 total. I'm looking for something where you set one, and the rest adjust and set automagically. So if he goes to bed at 10 PM one day, but 11 PM the next, he isn't needing to readjust everything again.

Maybe soothing like this (more for a lamp of a stereo but you'll get the idea)

If it's for medical reasons, I suggest this:

You did not mention why he needed to wake up every 2-2.5 hours.

It is for medical purposes. (if you have omni access, you can read about it here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/omni/...html)We're wanting to keep it on a phone because sometimes when he's having trouble sleeping he'll go into the guest room or basement. If it isn't mobile, he just won't use it.
There's also a vibrating reminder watch?

I would try to find an online forum/support group for people suffering from the same illness. Maybe they have a tested solution ....
Maybe something as simple as a digital kitchen timer. Set it to 2h > start > Alarm goes of > hit stop > hit start ...... (disadvantage possible too many buttons to do that repeatedly while being half asleep). Just throwing out ideas.

This, or another medication reminder app, might do it:
