Are you still relying on counting stops, setting alarms, and staring at the map to prevent missing your stop? "Space-time Alarm" solves this problem in a brand-new way - by substituting space for time. You just need to select your destination on the map and set the reminder range. The rest is up to us. Whether you are on a bus, subway, high-speed rail or long-distance bus, when you approach your destination, your phone will keep vibrating and ringing to remind you until you confirm to turn it off. 【Core Highlights】 ● Spatial alarm clock instead of temporal one Traditional alarm clocks can only ring at a set time. But when traveling, you don't know exactly what time you'll arrive. The "space-time alarm clock" rings when you reach a certain distance from your destination. ● Background continuous reminders, no fear of oversleeping It doesn't matter if the screen is locked or you switch to other apps. Once you reach the target range, the system will send continuous notification reminders until you actively turn them off. ● Front-end media sound alert When the App is in the foreground, it will play a continuous ringtone alert to ensure you don't miss it. ● Search + Long Press, Easily Set Your Destination Supports setting the destination through both location search and long press on the map. The search function offers fuzzy matching and history record. ● Adjustable reminder range From 300m to 2000m, freely adjustable to suit different means of transportation and station intervals. ● No login, no payment, no ads Open and use it right away. There's no account system, no subscription tricks, and no privacy tracking. Your location data stays entirely on your phone and is never uploaded to any server. ● Smart Power Saving Supports power-saving priority mode, which minimizes battery consumption while ensuring notifications. 【Applicable Scenarios】 - When commuting by bus or subway, I'm too sleepy in the morning and want to take a nap for a while. - When taking a long-distance high-speed train or train, I'm afraid of sleeping past my stop. - When taking a long-distance bus, I'm not familiar with the route and don't know when to get off. - During a trip, when taking a vehicle to a strange destination. - Any situation where I need to be reminded when arriving at a certain place. 【Privacy Commitment】 All your data (location, search history, settings) are only saved locally on your device. We do not collect, upload or share any personal information. There is no account system and no background tracking.
