Turning it on
⏰ Alarm is a chip wherever a time is set:
- a task with a day and a time;
- a routine or recurring task with a time — the alarm rings every time it repeats;
- an event — and the person who picks up is woken at the end of the event ("🚗 Time to pick up"), everyone else at the start;
- a medicine — at each dose time.
An alarm needs a time: without one the chip can't be turned on.
How it rings
The phone of the person it's for rings — not the parent's who set it.
- iPhone with iOS 26 or newer: a real system alarm, like the Clock app's — big on the lock screen, with Stop.
- Older iPhones: a notification with the alarm sound that breaks through Focus.
- Android: a notification at alarm volume, through silent mode.
Each phone sets its alarms for the next two days when Lanibo opens and after any change — so open the app now and then on a phone that's rarely used.
Questions
The time changed — does the alarm move? Yes. Change the task's or event's time, and the alarm follows on the person's phone.
It didn't ring. On that phone: open Lanibo once (the alarms are set when it opens), check the alarm volume, and on Android the Alarms & reminders permission.
Can I turn alarms off for one child? Turn ⏰ off on that task or routine. Alarms are per thing, not per person.
