What fits

Galarm - Alarms and Remindersstrong · 95

Galarm's core purpose is social/group alarms: you can create group alarms that ring on everyone's phone at the same time, participants can confirm or decline, and the app keeps alarm history and per-alarm chat so you can see responses.

Best for: Families who want a purpose-built shared alarm with per-person confirmations and group chat for coordinating events.

Galarmstrong · 90

This listing describes the same Galarm product with group alarms that fire on every participant's device, Instant Alarms for many people, Buddy Alarms that notify when someone misses a reminder, and alarm history so you can see who responded.

Best for: Users who want web + mobile access to the same shared-alarm features and a history of confirmations.

Partly fits

FamWake – Family Alarm Clockpartial · 68

Built specifically for families' morning schedules and syncs personalized wake times across family members, so it helps coordinated wake-ups but does not focus on per-person confirmation UIs.

Won’t cover: Designed to automate and stagger wake times rather than provide an explicit per-person confirm/acknowledge tracker for arbitrary shared alarms.

Famitpartial · 62

A family organizer that offers shared calendars, reminders and shared to-do lists which helps coordination across households but isn't described as an alarm app with per-person confirm/acknowledge tracking.

Won’t cover: Focuses on shared calendars and reminders rather than a dedicated shared-alarm workflow that records individual confirmations for each alarm.

Cozi Family Organizerpartial · 62

Widely used family calendar and reminders app that centralizes schedules and sends reminders to members, making it useful for coordination though it does not explicitly advertise per-person confirmation tracking for alarms.

Won’t cover: Provides shared reminders and calendars but does not advertise a dedicated per-member acknowledgement status for each alarm in the way a social-alarm app does.

Pill Reminder for Familypartial · 55

Positioned around medication schedules with family-sharing and notifications when someone misses a dose, so it offers per-person missed/taken notifications but is specialized to medication rather than general shared alarms.

Won’t cover: Built for medication tracking and dose confirmations rather than general-purpose shared alarms for arbitrary family events.
