Alarmi Client

The "Alarmi Client" is an extension to the "Alarmi" app and allows you to receive Alarmi messages if you don't have an Apple Watch!


Beach idyll with towel, umbrella and lots of sand: But who is watching your cell phone, your car keys or your wallet?

"Alarmi" is a small, easy-to-use alarm app that guards your valuables. Alarmi detects movement, generates an alarm sound, and sends you a notification on your Apple Watch.

You can use "Alarmi" with or without an Apple Watch:

- IF YOU HAVE AN Apple Watch:
As soon as you move away from your iPhone with your Apple Watch (example: your iPhone is on the beach lounger and you go swimming), the motion sensors in the iPhone are automatically activated. As soon as the iPhone detects movement (the sensitivity is adjustable), a shrill (and if you want very loud) alarm sound is played on the iPhone. The iPhones location will be stored in your iCloud account and via your Apple Watch you will receive a notification about the alarm.

- IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN Apple Watch:
The app works completely in the background. Once you exit "Alarmi" and your iPhone is locked, after 10 seconds the motion sensor will be activated. The GPS system works with a low accuracy at this time to save your battery. As soon as "Alarmi" registers movements (the sensitivity is adjustable) the accuracy of the GPS system will be increased, the coordinate will be stored in your iCloud and a distinctive (if necessary very loud) alarm sound will be played.

NOTE 1:
If you want to use your Apple Watch to automatically activate / deactivate monitoring, you need to pair the iPhone app with the Watch app once. To do this, select the "Pairing icon" in the upper left corner of the iPhone and then "Use with Apple Watch". Start "Alarmi" on the Apple Watch you want to use. The Apple Watch will now be detected automatically. Then confirm the selection with the blue button "Use Alarmi with this Apple Watch".

NOTE 2:
The Apple Watch app included in the iPhone app is a so-called "Independent Watch App". This means that it works completely independently of your iPhone. To receive alarm messages, the Apple Watch does not need radio contact with your iPhone and can therefore be located at a great distance from the iPhone. However, in this case, an Apple Watch with Cellular chip and activated eSim is required.

NOTE 3:
Data security: communication between your iPhone and Apple Watch is done through your iCloud account. So your iPhone and Apple Watch must be logged into iCloud with an identical Apple ID and "iCloud Drive" must be enabled in the settings. If communication between iPhone and Apple Watch is not possible, you will receive a notice to fix the error. Since the data is stored encrypted in a private area of your iCloud account, no one but you will have access to the location data. No data is transferred or stored to any other location. You can delete location data stored in your iCloud account in the Apple Watch app. In this case, the location data generated by "Alarmi" will be completely deleted.
