Your base gets raided while you're asleep — by the time you check your phone, it's already gone. Raid Alarm turns Rust raid alerts into real phone calls that cut through sleep, silence, and "I didn't see my phone." YOUR WHOLE TEAM GETS THE CALL Solo, duo, trio, clan, or zerg — it doesn't matter. Pair your server once and every teammate's phone rings the second your base takes damage. No one misses a raid because they were AFK on Discord. SMART RAID GUARD — ONLY THE CALLS THAT MATTER Random gunfire nearby shouldn't wake your whole team. Raid Guard filters the noise and only rings you for real threats, so you trust every call instead of muting the app after day one. ONE SWITCH, ENTIRE BASE — SMART AUTOMATION Link every turret, trap, and light to a single smart switch — one tap arms your whole base. Set it to run on in-game time: defenses auto-arm at nightfall (20:00), stand down at sunrise (07:00) — even while you're offline or asleep. SERVER SEARCH & FAVORITES Find and pair your active Rust server in seconds with secure Steam login — no passwords stored. Save favorites and jump between servers instantly. RAID CALCULATOR Know exactly how much sulfur, how many rockets or C4 a base costs to crack — before you commit a single resource, offense or defense. WIPE COUNTDOWN Live countdown to the next force wipe, so you're never caught off guard on a fresh map. Note: Alarm delivery depends on your phone's sound settings (Do Not Disturb silences calls) and Rust server/Facepunch infrastructure — any delay originates from the game server, not the app. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This is an UNOFFICIAL third-party application.
