Install it on your phone
- Open this page on the phone itself and tap Download. Chrome will warn that this file type can harm your device โ tap Download anyway.
- Tap the downloaded file (or open Files โ Downloads and tap it).
- Android will say the source isn't allowed. Tap Settings on that prompt, then turn on Allow from this source for the app you're installing from โ usually Chrome or Files. Then go back.
- Tap Install. If Play Protect warns about an unknown developer, choose Install anyway โ that's expected for a self-signed app.
The permission lives at Settings โ Apps โ Special app access โ Install unknown apps if you'd rather set it beforehand.
First run โ grant these three
- Notifications โ asked on launch. The ongoing notification is the running UI, so this one is mandatory.
- Alarms & reminders โ opens when you first tap Start. Without it the buzz drifts late in Doze.
- Battery: Unrestricted โ also prompted at Start. This is what keeps it firing with the screen locked.
How it works
- Pick an interval (1โ30 min, default 5) and tap Start.
- Every interval it gives five strong buzzes โ no sound โ then restarts the countdown on its own.
- The notification counts down live and carries Reset, Pause, and Stop. All three work straight from the lock screen, one tap, no unlock.
- Reset restarts the full interval early โ for when you drink before the buzz.
- The app screen keeps a tally of buzzes fired today; it clears at midnight.
Not buzzing? It's almost always the battery setting in step 3 above โ set the app to Unrestricted and it'll fire with the screen locked.
