So what I mean is,I want that my alarm rings every day except for saturday and sunday,so I don't have to set the date for every day separately. So basically I want a option that functions like the android alarm. Also another cool addition would be to sync it to a school holidays calender,so I don't have to disable it on every holidays.
You can already select particular days of the week for the alarm to trigger on. Select either Daily or Weekly recurrence, and select each of the days you want the alarm to occur on. Or, if you want the alarm on every workday, you can select a Daily alarm and select "Only during working time". How is the school holidays calendar defined - presumably an iCalendar? If so, please attach an example calendar, and I'll have a look at this.
Please don't request two different features in a single ticket.

In order to look at your request, I would need to know how you access the school holidays on your system. Are the school holidays stored in a calendar (of any kind)? If so, can you please attach the calendar here. If you need help to know how to attach the calendar, please first say how you view the calendar - using KOrganizer, for example?

[Sorry for answering late,I forgot about this tread] I used this site:https://www.schulferien.org/ in the past,but it's german so it won't make sense to use it and the site is crappy,cause I didn't look at school calenders for some time,cause of corona the school holidays are different for every school right now,so this feature wouldn't make much sense at all for now,but could be nice in the future with a good english site and when corona is over.
In order to implement this, the school holidays would need to be made available through the standard KHolidays interface, and you could then select the "Exclude holidays" option in the Recurrence tab when creating the alarm, provided that the relevant holiday file was selected in KAlarm's Settings. See https://community.kde.org/KDE_PIM/KHolidays for documentation on KHolidays and its file format. Any other way of implementing this would introduce extra complexity and would be beyond the scope of KAlarm.

Ok,then do it with KHolidays
KAlarm already uses KHolidays as its source of holiday definitions. You can set which holidays to use in KAlarm's Settings, in the Time & Date tab. However, if your school holidays are not already installed on your system in a KHolidays file, you will need to find or create a holidays file, and then install it, to define your school holidays. I mentioned a link with information on how to create a KHolidays file in Comment 7.
