LocReminder
An alarm that rings when you arrive, not at a set time.
Why I built it
I kept missing my stop on long bus rides in Dhaka. A normal alarm cannot help with that, since you never really know when you will get there, traffic and delays make sure of that.
LocReminder fixes it by flipping the alarm around. You drop a pin on where you are going, pick how close counts as arrived, and put your phone away. When you get there, it rings a real alarm, not a quiet notification, with sound, vibration and a full screen alert that gets through even on silent and on a locked screen.
It works entirely on stock Android location APIs, so it runs fine on de-Googled phones and devices without Google Play Services. There is no account, no server and no analytics. What you save on the app stays on your phone.

What it does
A real alarm, not a notification
Loops on the alarm audio stream so it rings even when your phone is on silent, with a full-screen alert over your lock screen.
Runs on OpenStreetMap
No Google Maps key, no Google account, and no billing setup. Search for a place by name or drag the pin yourself.
Easy on the battery
Checks your location rarely when you are far away and more often as you get close, so a long trip will not drain your phone.
Light and dark themes
Material 3 throughout, with map tiles that actually look right at night instead of a white rectangle.
No accounts, no tracking
No analytics, no ads, no server. Your saved destinations and your location never leave your device.
Signed and scanned
Every release is checked by around 70 antivirus engines on VirusTotal and signed before it is published.
Built with
The alarm itself is native Kotlin running as a foreground service, so it keeps working even if the Flutter engine is not running. Flutter only handles the search, the map and the settings screens.
