Getting started

What can AlarmMe do?

AlarmMe gives you four kinds of alerts in one app:

  • Location alarms ring when you get close to a place — perfect for your bus or train stop.
  • Time alarms ring at a set time, and can be linked to a place.
  • Focus Zones quiet your phone when you arrive somewhere, like the office, gym or mosque.
  • Reminders help you track bills, renewals and appointments before they're due.
How do I create a location alarm?

Tap + on the Home screen and choose Location Alarm. Search for a place or drop a pin on the map, set the radius (how close you need to be for it to ring), choose a sound, and tap Save. The alarm turns on right away.

Do I need an account?

No. AlarmMe works without an account. If you want your alarms on all your devices, turn on iCloud sync — it uses your Apple ID, not a separate login.

Location alarms

My location alarm didn't ring. What should I check?

Most missed alarms come from iOS settings. Please check:

  • Location access is set to "Always" — iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services › AlarmMe.
  • Precise Location is on in the same screen.
  • Notifications are allowed — iOS Settings › Notifications › AlarmMe. Turning on Critical Alerts lets alarms sound even in Silent mode or a Focus.
  • Background App Refresh is on for AlarmMe.
  • Low Power Mode can delay location updates. Try turning it off for important trips.
  • Don't force-quit AlarmMe from the app switcher — iOS may then stop delivering location events.
Why did my alarm ring too early or too late?

GPS is less accurate underground, in tunnels, inside buildings and between tall buildings. iOS also checks location less often to save battery. For trains and buses, set a slightly larger radius (for example 400–800 m) so you have time to get ready.

Does AlarmMe drain my battery?

AlarmMe uses Apple's low-power region monitoring and only checks your location more often when you are near an active alarm. Battery Saver in AlarmMe Settings reduces checks further. Turning off alarms you don't need also helps.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Once a location alarm is saved, it works offline using GPS. You only need a connection to search for new places and load the map.

Time alarms & reminders

Will alarms ring if my phone is on silent?

Allow Critical Alerts for AlarmMe (Settings › Notifications in the app, or iOS Settings › Notifications › AlarmMe). Without it, iOS may silence alerts when the ring switch is off or a Focus is on.

How do reminders for bills and renewals work?

Create a reminder, pick a category (like installments, health or renewals), set the due date and how early you want to be notified. AlarmMe nudges you ahead of time and keeps a record each time you mark it done.

Focus Zones

What is a Focus Zone?

A Focus Zone is a place where AlarmMe helps your phone calm down — for example muting alerts when you arrive at the office, gym or mosque, and reminding you when you leave. Because of iOS rules, some actions run through the Shortcuts app; AlarmMe guides you through the setup.

iCloud & your data

How do I sync alarms between devices?

Make sure you are signed in to iCloud on each device, then turn on iCloud Sync in AlarmMe's Profile. Alarms, places and reminders are stored in your private iCloud and appear on your other devices within a few moments.

Can you see my location?

No. Your location is only processed on your iPhone and is never sent to us. Read the full Privacy Policy.

AlarmMe Pro

What's included in Free and Pro?

The free version includes 1 active location alarm, 1 Focus Zone and 1 reminder, plus time alarms. AlarmMe Pro unlocks unlimited location alarms, Focus Zones and reminders, plus extra features like Live Activities, Siri & Shortcuts, widgets, iCloud sync and themes.

How do I restore my purchase on a new iPhone?

Sign in with the same Apple ID, open AlarmMe and go to Settings › AlarmMe Pro › Restore Purchases.

How do I cancel my subscription or get a refund?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple. Open iOS Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions › AlarmMe and tap Cancel Subscription. For refunds, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
