Location Alarm

Location Alarm rings when you arrive at, or leave, a place you choose, so you can doze on the train and still wake up at your stop.

PICK THE PLACE
Drop a pin on the map, use where you are now, search for it by name, or share a location into the app from another app. Set how close counts as arrived, and add an early warning further out if you want one.

WATCHES WITHOUT DRAINING YOUR BATTERY
Start watching when you set off, or leave an alarm always on. The app checks less often while you are far away or not moving, and more often as you get close. Choose Frugal, Balanced or Thorough to decide how hard it tries.

AN ALARM YOU CANNOT MISS
When you get there, the alarm takes over the lock screen with a map and the distance. Stop it with a tap, a sum, a shake of the phone or a typed code, whichever you chose. Snoozes are limited and get shorter, so you do not sleep past your stop. If an alarm was passed, or watching stopped, the app tells you.

EVERY ALARM HAS ITS OWN ALERT
Tone or song, volume and a gentle build-up, vibration, and the place name spoken aloud.

YOUR LOCATION STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
The app does not ask for background location. Watching runs as a visible notification while an alarm is armed, and your places and tracks are never uploaded.

The app is free and shows ads, never on the screen of a ringing alarm.
