LocReminder

LocReminder is an alarm clock that goes off at a place instead of a time.

You know roughly where you are going, but not exactly when you will get there. Traffic, delays and unfamiliar routes make that impossible to predict, so a normal alarm is no use. Instead you spend the whole journey glancing out of the window, unable to properly rest or focus.

Drop a pin on your destination, choose how close you want to get, and put your phone away. When you arrive, LocReminder rings a real alarm: a looping sound that plays even on silent, vibration, and a full-screen alert over your lock screen.

What it is good for

🚌 Long bus or train rides, so you can actually sleep

🗺️ Arriving somewhere unfamiliar, where you would not recognise your stop

📚 Commuting, so you can read or work without watching the route

🚗 Road trips as a passenger, to be woken before the turn-off

🛍️ Errands, so you are reminded at the shop or the post office rather than after passing it

Features

🔔 A real alarm, not a quiet notification: loops on the alarm audio channel so it sounds even on silent

🎵 Choose your own alarm sound: any system ringtone, or an audio file of your own

📍 Search for a destination by name, drag the map to place the pin exactly, or type coordinates straight in — the last of those needs no connection

📝 Give each alarm a task in your own words — "Buy medicine" — or let it take the name of the place

🔁 Repeat an alarm every day, or on the weekdays you choose, for a commute or a standing errand

📋 Multiple alarms, each with its own trigger radius, and live distance to each

📏 Adjustable radius from 100 m to 3 km, so you get as much warning as you need

🌗 Light and dark themes

📶 Works with no signal: the alarm runs on GPS alone and never needs a connection, and the map is kept on your phone so it still draws in a dead spot

🔋 Battery-aware: checks rarely when you are far away, more often as you approach, and not at all on days none of your alarms are set for
