The Story Behind Alarm Notifier

A simple tool born from missed push notifications

Alex working on Alarm Notifier

👋 Hi, I'm Alex

I'm a software engineer based in London. After missing a couple of important Yale Smart Living push notifications, it became clear how easy those alerts are to overlook. I wanted a straightforward way to get notified that I wouldn't miss - SMS or a phone call.

A lot of DIY solutions felt brittle or too complex. So I built Alarm Notifier - simple, reliable, and focused on what matters: getting the right alert to the right person at the right time. Set it up in minutes, pick the events you care about (alarm triggered, arm/disarm, lock/unlock), and choose who gets an SMS or a call.

My Goal

I'm committed to improving Alarm Notifier by listening to users and focusing on clear, timely delivery. The goal is a tool you can trust for critical events, with simple controls for who is notified and when. This isn't just a project for me - it's solving a real problem I ran into myself.
