What happens when an alarm rings, and how to stop it

When an alarm fires, Notification Tracker shows a screen with the app and what matched. Tap Dismiss to stop the sound.

What you see

When a notification matches an alarm, the alarm sound plays and a screen appears with:

  • The app that sent the notification
  • Matched details: the senders and the words that triggered it
  • A link to open the app
  • A Dismiss button

To stop it

Tap Dismiss. The sound stops and the screen closes.

Good to know

  • The sound stops by itself after a maximum time, so it can't ring forever.
  • The screen can turn on when an alarm fires. This needs the Notifications for alarms permission.
