Some things can't be missed. ⏰ Alarm on a task, routine, event or medicine makes the phone of the person it's for ring like an alarm clock.

⏰ Alarm on a task
With a day and a time, the ⏰ Alarm chip appears

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.
