Some things aren’t difficult — they just slip your mind when life gets busy. This is where Pudding Alarm comes in: we keep those little to‑dos on your behalf. Just hold and speak: “Remind me to pick up the package tomorrow at 3 PM.” “Alert me for the weekly meeting every Monday at 8 AM.” “Remind me to pay rent on the 10th of next month.” Mr. Pudding will parse the time, task, and repeat pattern from your voice. Once you confirm the details, your alarm is ready. No digging through calendars. No endless tapping through endless setting menus. 【What you can do】 • Quickly create alarms with your voice • Set reminders for tomorrow or any specific future date • Build repeating alarms: daily, weekly, monthly and more • Review and adjust time, notes and repeat rules before saving • View active alarms and past history records • Edit, disable or delete existing alarms Mr. Pudding is smart and a little quirky. But he takes every task you give him very seriously. Let Pudding Alarm take care of trivial stuff, so you can focus on the people and moments that truly matter.
