Seems so.

I was looking at the same issue, because I would like to understand how and 
alarm application should work. The Jolla one is not open source, but looking 
at the behaviour, where it doesn't need to be started, and is not even started 
for displaying the alarm (is displayed though the primary/general UI, in which 
seems to be a "mode" of the lock screen), I think it uses this Nemo framework:

https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-alarms

Is installed by default (or, on demand after the installation of the Alarm 
app), but it doesn't seem Harbour approved yet.

However, I think in the future they might approve "harbour-" prefixed daemons, 
since the mention systemd services in their porting guide:

Sailors would provide more info.
