If you often travel by train, bus, or any other means of transportation, you've surely found yourself in a situation where you're not sure if your stop is coming up soon — so you reach for your phone, open Google Maps, and nervously check when to get off. With Glarm, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Easily schedule an alarm that will ring as you approach your chosen location, and take a nap or keep watching the next episode of your favourite series in peace. Glarm lets you create an alarm that activates at a set distance from your destination. You can attach a note to the alarm, assign it to a category, and configure it to trigger every time you cross the boundary of a defined region.
