Finger Strings ties a virtual string around your finger — so you actually remember. It uses alarms that demand acknowledgment and stand out from notification noise. Most reminders fail at the worst moment. You set one, it fires, you swipe it away, and an hour later you're still late, still unprepared, still kicking yourself. Finger Strings works differently. Instead of one notification you'll ignore, it fires a series of escalating alarms in the lead-up to your event — giving you time to actually act. How it works Create a reminder with a deadline. Finger Strings works backwards from that moment and schedules a sequence of alarms — months, days, hours, then every minute in the final stretch — each one requiring an explicit acknowledgment. By the time the deadline arrives, you've had every chance to be ready. These aren't quiet banners you can swipe away without looking. They're true alarms, with a sound you choose. They demand attention. Built for the things that actually matter Finger Strings isn't a to-do list. It's not a project manager. It's for the reminders that can't slip — the appointment you can't be late to, the call you can't miss, the deadline that doesn't move. Capture the five W's for any reminder: What, When, Who, Where, and Why. The extra context means you're not just alerted — you're informed and ready. What you get - Layered alarms: monthly, daily, hourly, and every minute through the final hour. Turn on only the layers you want — or pick a ready-made intensity profile from Gentle to Nuclear. - 64 alarm sounds, each rated mellow-to-obnoxious, with favorites and curation so the picker only shows what you want - High-stakes reminders can require a deliberate confirmation to stop — hold-to-stop, a keyword, or a clear "I am doing this now" tap - Repeating reminders for weekly and monthly events - Quiet Hours, with a per-reminder choice to respect them, ignore them, or wait until they end - A Lock Screen widget showing your next two alarms - Live countdowns on every reminder card - Full reminder history so nothing disappears - Your choice of app color, plus dark and light mode Simple by design No categories. No tags. No priority levels. No subscription either — Finger Strings is a one-time purchase. Finger Strings does one thing and does it relentlessly: makes sure you don't forget. Note: Finger Strings needs permission to schedule alarms. Without it, reminders can't alert you the way the Clock app does. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-28 Finger Strings 2.1.0 gives you more control over how your alarms sound and how hard they are to dismiss. New Features • Intensity profiles — Gentle, Persistent, Hard Core, and Nuclear bundle a string's monthly, daily, hourly, and final-stretch alarm behavior into one preset, with full control to customize further. • Confirmation requirements — high-stakes strings can require an intentional confirmation to stop: hold-to-stop, a keyword, or a clear "I am doing this now" tap. • Alarm sound ratings and favorites — every sound now shows a mellow-to-obnoxious intensity rating right in the picker, and you can favorite the ones you actually use. • Sound curation in Settings — hide sounds you don't want, cap the picker at an intensity ceiling, or show favorites only. • 64 alarm sounds to choose from, up from 13 — including a set of international emergency-alert-style sirens for when gentle isn't going to cut it. Improved • Reliability Dashboard — tap the info icon on any row (or the overall status) for what it measures; each row's icon now reads green, yellow, or red on its own status instead of one all-or-nothing warning flag. • Cleaner String details header — the back button matches the other header buttons, and the title sits above them instead of crowding the row. Fixed • Opening a String that didn't require confirmation from its alert now always brings up the full in-app alarm screen — sound, haptics, and a Stop button — instead of a plain details screen with no way to silence the alarm. ### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-13 Finger Strings 2.0 is about trust: knowing your alarms are set, seeing exactly when they'll fire, and controlling how they behave at night. New Features • Widget — your next alarms at a glance on the Home Screen or the Lock Screen, with a custom Finger Strings symbol and a layout tuned for each size. It picks up your app color and refreshes the moment you edit a string. • Reliability dashboard — alarm permission status, pending alarm counts, and how close you are to the system's scheduling limit, all in one place. When something would stop an alarm firing, the dashboard says so. • Alarm preview timeline — see a string's complete alarm schedule before you save it. Collapse it when you don't need it and the editor stays tidy. • Quiet-hours exceptions — now set per string. Respect quiet hours, ignore them for the things that truly can't wait, or defer alarms to the moment quiet hours end. Improved • Your chosen app color now carries across every screen, and into the widget. • Search and sort come to the History tab, matching the active list. • Search on the active list is collapsible and scoped, and your sort order is remembered between launches. • Monthly alarms can start up to 12 months before an event. • Final-stretch alarms default to every 15 minutes instead of every minute. • Expired strings archive themselves at launch. • Sort and search controls stay out of the way until you have more than one string. • Cleaner alarm-timing pickers, richer sound and haptic feedback, and a full accessibility and contrast pass. ### 1.1 — 2026-06-14 Enhancements: - Added monthly recurring strings for events that repeat each month. - Added selectable alarm sounds so each string can alert with the tone that fits it best. - Added configurable global alarm layer defaults for monthly, daily, hourly, and final-stretch reminders. Fixes - Tapping an alarm now opens the related String Details screen instead of jumping straight into edit mode. - Alarm links now work more reliably when Finger Strings is already open. - If you’re already viewing the relevant String Details screen, tapping the alarm simply dismisses the alarm without changing your place. - Quiet Hours now adjust more intelligently when changing the start time. ### 1.0 — 2026-06-11 No release notes. ## More apps by Chainbreaker Technology LLC - [PT-Guide](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pt-guide/id6471483475) - [Word-l-lator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/word-l-lator/id6476447592) - [Charsi's Codex](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/charsis-codex/id6741378640) - [Sacra Tabula](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sacra-tabula/id6762577179) All apps by Chainbreaker Technology LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/6790620430 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
