You can swap "weekdays" for "every day," "every Tuesday," or other options as needed.

Method 2: Using the Alexa App

Prefer app control? Open the Alexa app and tap the menu (three bars) on the left.

1. Select Reminders & Alarms. Choose your device from the dropdown if you have multiple Echos.
2. Tap Alarms to view your list, then select one to edit.
3. Adjust time, sound, or delete. Tap Never repeat to configure repeats.
4. Pick Every day, Weekdays, Weekends, or custom days.
5. Tap Save Changes.
