AlarmShare: Shared Alarms That People Actually Follow They forget. You remind them. Even when you're not there. AlarmShare is the only alarm app that lets you send real alarms directly to other people's phones β so important things never get missed again. Whether it's a parent's medication, a friend's birthday, or a team meeting, AlarmShare makes sure the alarm actually reaches them. - Send Real Alarms to Anyone's Phone Not just a message β a real alarm that rings on their phone. Share via Messages, WhatsApp, or email in one tap. If they already have AlarmShare, it's saved on their phone instantly. If not, one tap gets them the app and the alarm is ready to go. - Add a Personal Voice Note Record a voice note with your alarm. Let them hear it in your voice β because hearing you hits different than reading a text. - One-Time & Repeating Alarms Set alarms for a single moment or make them repeat β daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or even multiple dates. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, bill payments, medication schedules, tax deadlines, and team standups. - Group Alarms for Teams & Families Send one alarm to multiple people at once. Everyone gets reminded at the same time. Perfect for team leads coordinating morning standups, parents managing school schedules, and caregivers tracking medication for elderly family members. - Advance Reminders for Important Dates For yearly, monthly, and quarterly alarms, set an advance reminder β days before the alarm date β so you're always prepared. Never miss a birthday, anniversary, or renewal date again. USE IT FOR REAL LIFE SITUATIONS Make sure they don't forget: Birthdays & anniversaries, Medicines on time, Join meetings, Call their parents, Water plants, Leave for the airport, Buy groceries, Submit documents, Feed the dog, Say "I love you" β¦and all the little things that actually matter. PERFECT FOR Couples (yesβ¦ especially that one person) Parents managing kids' schedules and routines Caregivers tracking medication for elderly family members Team leads coordinating daily standups Students building consistent study and sleep routines Anyone tired of sending the same reminder again and again HOW IT WORKS Create an alarm β one-time, repeating, or multiple dates Add a voice note (optional) Tap Save & Share β send via Messages, WhatsApp, or email They tap the link β saved instantly if they have AlarmShare, or a quick tap away if not Their phone rings at the right time β done Why AlarmShare Is Different? Most alarm apps only remind you. AlarmShare lets you remind the people who matter to you. It's the missing link between setting a reminder and making sure it actually gets followed through β by anyone, anywhere. WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT Send alarms in 1 tap β no typing the same reminder again and again They get a real alarm, not just a message β much harder to ignore Add a personal voice note β hearing your voice hits different Works for family, friends, and teams One-time or repeating β birthdays, meetings, daily habits WHY IT MATTERS Some things are too important to forget. AlarmShare helps you make sure they don't. AlarmShare is free to download.
