Yes it is. Is it worth? Probably not.

On Android you can set your system volume for Notifications, Ringtones and Alarms. Boilr uses the respective system volume according to the sound type you have chosen. Thus by choosing a sound type you are also controlling the volume. This behaviour suffices for most applications out there and probably for Boilr too.

The most common case is putting the phone in silent mode. What Android does is setting the Notifications and Ringtones volumes to zero, but keeps Alarm at a loud value. Thus, if you have low significance alarms in Boilr, set to a Notification or Ringtone sound, they will be muted. On the other hand, the important ones to which you have assigned an Alarm sound will play as usual. Android also has a "hard" silent mode, which sets all volumes to zero, including Alarms.

If you wish to mute just a single alarm in Boilr you can choose None or Silent from the sounds' list.
