What we need & why.

We only request what is strictly necessary. No location, no contacts, no microphone. Ever.

🔔

POST_NOTIFICATIONS

Required on Android 13+ to display alarm and timer alerts. Without this, alarms cannot produce a visible or audible notification.

Android 13+
⏰

SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM

Allows alarms to fire at a precise time — not "approximately." Without this, Android may delay your alarm by minutes. Granted via Settings on Android 12+.

Android 12+
🔒

USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT

Enables the full-screen alarm activity to appear on the lock screen. Required on Android 14+ for the ring screen to show over the lock screen.

Android 14+
📳

VIBRATE

Used for the vibration pattern when an alarm rings. Auto-granted on install — no user confirmation required.

Auto-granted
📶

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

Allows re-scheduling alarms after a phone reboot. When Android reboots, all pending system alarms are cleared — this permission restores them automatically.

Auto-granted
🔋

REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS

Requests exclusion from Doze mode, which can delay background processes. Strongly recommended to ensure alarms fire on time after a long idle period.

💡
Pro tip: Disable battery optimization

For the most reliable alarms, go to Settings → Battery → Battery Optimization, find AlaramChhaiye, and set it to "Don't optimize." This prevents Android's Doze mode from delaying alarms when your phone has been idle for a while.

FAQ

Common questions answered.

Most missed alarms are caused by battery optimization. Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Optimization → AlaramChhaiye and set it to "Don't optimize." Also check the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission is granted (Android 12+) — the in-app Permissions screen shows every status.
Yes. AlaramChhaiye's notification channel is configured with bypassDnd: true, so the alarm rings even when your phone is silenced or in DND mode — as long as the notification permission is granted.
Yes. The RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission re-schedules all active alarms after a restart. Stale one-time alarms are disabled; repeating alarms are recalculated to the next valid occurrence automatically when you open the app.
Yes. Alarms and the timer use separate notification channels and IDs, so they operate completely independently. You can have multiple active alarms and a running timer simultaneously with no conflicts.
No. Each Snooze tap schedules a new notification exactly 10 minutes later. There is no cap — snooze as many times as you need.
No. All data is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. Nothing is sent to any server. No account is required, no analytics, no tracking of any kind.
"Alaraam Chahiye" is a Hindi phrase meaning "I need an alarm." The name reflects the app's simple, direct purpose — giving you exactly what you need to wake up on time.

You're ready.
