Set the alarm for 30 minutes from now

As the title says, I want to set an alarm for x minutes/hours from now. There's a number of different ways to set alarms for a specific, pre-determined time (10am, 4.23pm), but how do I set one for (say) 30 minutes from now, or two hours from now.

I've tried:

  • System -> Set alarm (can only set for a pre-determined time)

  • Autoalarm (only appears to give me info about already set alarms)

  • Sending intents to the clock app through Autoshare (again, can only set for a pre-determined time)

  • Sending text saying "set alarm for one hour" to Google Now through Autoshare (comes tantalisingly close, but because it's text, it requires a screen touch to confirm.

It's occurred to me I could do it by

  • Set variable "%Alarmtime" to current time

  • Do maths, add 10 minutes to "%Alarmtime"

  • System -> Set alarm to %Alarmtime

But this would get complicated and janky very quickly. I'd need to split the time variable for hours and minutes, I'd need to account for adding an hour when minutes > 60, resetting hour to 0 when hours > 24.

I feel like this shouldn't be too hard to do. Any ideas?

TIA
