Alarm in Zone
Set the moment, not the math.
Set an alarm for a specific time in a specific city. It fires at that moment — no matter where your device is.
The problem
Every alarm app anchors to your device's current time zone. Cross a border and "7:00 AM" follows you to the new locale. Usually that's fine. Sometimes it's exactly wrong:
- You're in Tokyo and want a reminder when it's 7:00 PM back home in Boston.
- You're on a short trip and want to wake up on home time.
- A launch or market open is scheduled at 10:30 AM Eastern and you want an alarm that stays anchored to Eastern, forever.
Alarm in Zone gives each alarm its own home city. Foundation handles DST automatically. The alarm fires at the right moment, always.
How it works
Tap +. Pick a time. Pick a city. Tap Save.
Each alarm shows its anchored time and zone, the next fire time in your current local time, and its repeat pattern. A subtle note appears when your device is in a different zone than one of your alarms — so you always know what fires and when.
What it is
One job: alarms anchored to a city. Free, with an optional tip. No subscription, no ads, no accounts, no analytics.
