An alarm, not just a message
Once accepted and successfully scheduled, an AlarmKit alarm can sound through Silent mode and Focus. Check its status to see whether the request was accepted.

Contact supportGetting started
How does Send Alarm work?
Choose a person, a time and a label, then send an alarm request. The recipient chooses whether to accept it. Once accepted and scheduled, their iPhone uses Apple’s AlarmKit to ring the alarm.
What do we both need?
Both people need Send Alarm on an iPhone with iOS 26 or later. Sign in with Apple and choose a username. The recipient must allow alarms; notifications help them see and respond to new requests.
How do I find or invite a friend?
Tap Send Alarm and search for your friend’s username, with or without @. If they have not joined yet, use Invite a friend to share the App Store link and your username. Ask for their username after they sign in.
Which time zone does the alarm use?
Choose the time shown on your iPhone. A one-off alarm is sent for that moment in time, and the recipient sees it in their own local time. If you are in different time zones, check the displayed date and time before sending.
Acceptance and control
Can someone make my phone ring without asking?
A new sender’s request needs your acceptance. You can accept once, decline, or enable Always Accept for someone you trust. Importing a shared alarm file or link is also an acceptance action and records trust for that sender.
How does Always Accept work?
Enable Always Accept for a person to let their future alarm requests be scheduled automatically. You can change this in People by opening their details. Automatic acceptance still depends on delivery and successful scheduling on your iPhone.
How do I block someone?
Open People, select the person and turn on Block. This prevents new alarm requests from that person. Review any alarms you have already accepted separately.
Can I cancel an alarm?
Open the alarm in History. If Cancel alarm is available, use it to cancel. A cancellation sent to another phone needs to reach that device, so check the status rather than assuming it arrived.
Delivery and troubleshooting
Will an accepted alarm ring in Silent mode or Focus?
A successfully scheduled AlarmKit alarm can sound through Silent mode and Focus. A request notification alone does not mean an alarm has been scheduled. Check that the request was accepted and that alarm permission is enabled.
Why has an alarm not been accepted or scheduled?
Ask the recipient to open Send Alarm and check the request. In Settings, check alarm permission, then check notifications in iPhone settings. Both phones need a connection to exchange requests and status updates. Also check whether the sender is blocked or the selected time has passed.
Does Send Alarm work without internet?
An internet connection is needed to send and receive requests, synchronise status and deliver cancellations. Once an alarm has been successfully scheduled on the receiving iPhone, it is handled locally by the system. This FAQ is also available offline in the app.
Why does a quick-send widget ask me to open the app?
Quick send uses a temporary sign-in session shared with the widget. If that session has expired, open Send Alarm to refresh it, then try the widget again.
Plans and account
What is included in Free and Pro?
Free has a daily sending allowance; check your remaining sends in the app. Pro raises the limit to 100 sends per day while your subscription is active. Current monthly and yearly prices appear on the subscription screen.
How do I restore or cancel Pro?
In Send Alarm, open Settings and tap Restore Purchases using the Apple Account that made the purchase. To manage or cancel renewal, open iPhone Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions and select Send Alarm.
How do I delete my account?
Open Settings in Send Alarm and choose Delete Account. Confirm only when you want to remove your account. Deleting your account does not cancel an Apple subscription; manage that separately in iPhone Settings.
Someone asked you to wake them?
