Ripple — Repeat Alarm & Reminder

Most smartphones can set daily alarms but lack a built-in way to schedule reminders that repeat every few days, weeks, or months. Ripple Alarm addresses this gap by enabling users to create alarms with custom intervals ranging from 1 to 99 units across hours, days, weeks, or months. The application targets scenarios that don't align with 24-hour cycles, such as medication schedules that require doses every 3 days, plant watering routines every 14 days, or home maintenance tasks like filter changes every 3 months. The alarm system delivers full-screen notifications with sound, vibration, and a clear dismiss button, designed to provide the same reliability users expect from utility apps they trust with their health. Each alarm displays next ring times, repeat intervals, and category labels in a unified interface. Users can skip the next occurrence without disrupting the entire schedule, useful when away or when a specific instance doesn't apply. Ripple maintains an alarm history that records whether each alarm was dismissed, snoozed, or missed, creating a compliance log for medication and maintenance tracking. The app supports organization through categories and labels including health, plants, maintenance, pets, work, or custom options. Cloud sync functionality allows users with a free account to create and modify alarms on one device and see updates automatically reflected across others, such as changes made on iPhone appearing on iPad. The application offers a forever free tier with no credit card requirement that includes all interval types and cloud sync. A Pro subscription at $2.99 per month adds a template gallery with ready-made alarm packs for medication, plants, and maintenance, along with premium themes including an Auto theme and additional appearance options beyond the standard Light and Dark modes. Pro subscribers also gain access to home screen widgets. Ripple is available on both iOS and Android platforms. The privacy policy specifies that the service collects account email and encrypted alarm data for sync, anonymous crash reports via Sentry, and anonymous usage analytics via PostHog, while explicitly stating it does not collect names, location, health information beyond account email, engage in cross-app tracking, or sell data to advertisers.
