# LFG Alarm with Apple Shortcuts and Siri AI agents · https://lfg.gm/agents/apple-shortcuts · Updated 2026-10-19 To use LFG Alarm from Apple Shortcuts, the simplest way is a shortcut with one **Get Contents of URL** action that sends a POST to an anything alarm's private link: run it, tap it on your Home Screen or say its name to Siri, and that alarm rings on every phone that joined it. To have a shortcut *set* alarms ("Hey Siri, wake my running group at 6"), give it a personal LFG Alarm key and let it call the LFG Alarm MCP server at https://mcp.lfg.gm. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android: alarms for times and moments, shared by link so every phone that joined rings together. ## Before you start - **Get the LFG Alarm app on your phone** from the App Store or Google Play, and sign in. Shortcuts sends the request; the app is what rings. - **The Shortcuts app** on iPhone, iPad or Mac. - For the second way only, **a personal key**. Make one below. ## Way 1: ring an alarm now (no key) This is a big red button for your people: "come down, dinner's ready", "I'm outside", "everyone on the call". 1. In LFG Alarm, make an **Anything** alarm, share it with the people who should hear it, and copy its private link. 2. In **Shortcuts**, tap **+** to make a new shortcut and add the action **Get Contents of URL**. 3. Paste the alarm's link as the URL. Tap **Show More** and set **Method** to **POST**. Leave the body empty. 4. Name the shortcut for what it means, for example "Dinner's ready". Siri runs it by that name. 5. Run it once to test: the alarm rings on every phone that joined. Add it to your Home Screen, a widget, the Action button or a Back Tap, and it is one press. An Automation can run it for you too, for example when you arrive at an address or at a time each day. Keep the link private: anyone who has it can ring the alarm. If it leaks, replace it from the alarm's page. After a ring the alarm stays quiet for the time you chose when you made it (from 1 minute to 1 hour), so pressing twice does not ring twice. ## Way 2: set alarms with a key A shortcut can also ask LFG Alarm to set an alarm, so a sentence to Siri becomes a real alarm on your phone, or on your friends' phones. **Make a key.** In LFG Alarm, open **Settings** > **Connected AI apps**, tap **Make a key**, name it "Shortcuts", and copy the key (it is shown once). Keys start with `lfg_pat_`. **Build the shortcut.** 1. Add **Get Contents of URL**. **URL:** `https://mcp.lfg.gm`. **Method:** **POST**. 2. **Headers:** `Authorization` = `Bearer lfg_pat_...` (your key), `Content-Type` = `application/json`, `Accept` = `application/json, text/event-stream`. 3. **Request Body:** **JSON**, with these fields: `jsonrpc` = `2.0`, `id` = `1`, `method` = `tools/call`, and `params` as a dictionary: `name` = `set_time_alarm`, `arguments` = a dictionary with `time` (24-hour, `06:00`), `time_zone` (yours, like `America/New_York`), `date` (`2026-11-02`, for a one-off) and `title` (`Run`). 4. LFG Alarm answers in a second or two. Its reply has the alarm's link and a short summary as text, plus the share picture; add **Get Dictionary Value** for `result` > `content` and **Show Result** on the first text item to see what it set. 5. To make it spoken, put **Ask for Input** or **Dictate Text** before it and feed the answer into `title` or `time`. To wake a group at a moment that changes, make a friends alarm once in the app and ring it with Way 1. A key acts as you, so this shortcut sets alarms on your account whoever runs it. Do not share a shortcut that has your key inside it; share Way 1 shortcuts instead, which hold only an alarm's link. ## Try it **Try this.** Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or another AI agent that has the LFG Alarm connector (https://mcp.lfg.gm), not into the LFG Alarm app. The person needs the LFG Alarm app on their phone. > Use LFG Alarm to set a one-off time alarm for 6:00 tomorrow called "Run". Then tell me the date and time it will ring. Why it works: In an AI app connected to LFG Alarm this is one sentence. In Shortcuts, Way 2 sends the same request as set_time_alarm with time 06:00, tomorrow's date and the title Run. ## Questions ### Can Siri set an LFG Alarm without a shortcut? Not directly. A shortcut is how Siri reaches LFG Alarm: name the shortcut and Siri runs it. ### Does the alarm ring through silent mode? A time alarm made with Way 2 rings like any alarm clock, through silent mode and Focus on iPhone. An anything alarm (Way 1) arrives on iPhone as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's sound, so the ringer should be on; on Android it rings full screen. ### Is Way 1 safe to share with my family? Yes. A Way 1 shortcut holds only the alarm's link, so it can ring that one alarm and nothing else. Share the shortcut with the people who should be able to ring it. ## Learn more - [How to make any app, script or feed ring your phone](https://lfg.gm/webhook-alarm) - [The fastest way to get your whole family's attention](https://lfg.gm/family-alert) - [Using LFG Alarm from your AI agent](https://lfg.gm/wiki/ai-agents) - [Connect LFG Alarm to another AI app](https://lfg.gm/agents) ## Sources and further reading - [Apple Shortcuts User Guide: Request your first API](https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts/request-your-first-api-apd58d46713f/ios) - [Apple Shortcuts User Guide: Run shortcuts with Siri](https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts/run-shortcuts-with-siri-apd07c25bb38/ios) LFG Alarm is not affiliated with Apple. ## Keep exploring - [Connect LFG Alarm to your AI app](https://lfg.gm/agents.md): The LFG Alarm MCP server: set alarms from ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, OpenClaw and more, and they ring on your phone. - [Connect LFG Alarm to ChatGPT](https://lfg.gm/agents/chatgpt.md): Add LFG Alarm to ChatGPT with the address mcp.lfg.gm, sign in once, and ask ChatGPT to set alarms that ring on your phone. - [Connect LFG Alarm to Claude](https://lfg.gm/agents/claude.md): Add LFG Alarm to Claude as a custom connector, sign in once, and ask Claude to set alarms that ring on your phone.
