# How to get an alarm when someone posts on X

Fans and creators · https://lfg.gm/alarm-when-someone-posts

Turning on an account's notification bell sends you every post, so most people mute it and miss the one they were waiting for. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android: Rocco watches an X account and rings your phone when a post means what you described, such as a contract address or a launch date. He also rings when a Twitch or YouTube channel goes live or a YouTube video goes up. On Android it rings full screen, even on Do Not Disturb; on iPhone it arrives as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's own sound, so keep the ringer on.

## The one post that matters

Forty posts a day: memes, replies, gm. You turned the bell on, then you stopped reading it. An alarm stays quiet for the other 39. The page's example: an alarm for when @elonmusk mentions $GROK stays quiet through the gm posts and new profile pictures, and rings for the one post that says it.

## Meaning, not keywords

A keyword alert looks for a word. Rocco reads what each new post means: "today." over a sunrise can mean "it's live", and a keyword alert for "live" would miss it.

## Write it like you'd say it

Write what should wake you as a plain sentence, "When @account ...". Things people wait for, and the kind of post that would ring:

| When the account... | A post that rings |
|---|---|
| posts a contract address | "it's live. CA below, be careful of fakes" |
| announces a launch date | "mark your calendars: we launch on the 14th" |
| mentions our project | "been watching what your team is building, big fan" |
| says the mint is live | "mint is open. go go go" |
| goes live on Twitch | "LIVE now, come hang" |
| uploads a new video | "new video is up, this one took 3 months" |

In the app: on Alarms, tap Social, pick X, Twitch or YouTube, type the handle, and write your sentence under What should wake you? (on Twitch or YouTube, tap When they go live or When they post a video). Rocco reads it back as one plain sentence.

## Ride or make

A public alarm for an account rings everyone who joined in the same second, in every time zone. Riding one is free. Make your own and post the link for your followers.

**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 alarm called "Stream starts" for Friday at 8:00 PM, when [the streamer] said they go live, make it a friends alarm that anyone with the link can join, and give me the link.

Why it works: Your AI agent can set time alarms today, for a stream or launch with a set time. For an alarm that waits for the post itself, use the app: tap Social, pick X, type the handle and write what should wake you, in meaning, not keywords.

## Common mistakes

- Watching for a word instead of a meaning. "Launch" appears in jokes and replies; "announces the launch date" does not.
- Turning the bell on for an account that posts forty times a day. You will mute it within a week.
- Making your own alarm when a public one already exists. Ride it for free.

## Questions

### What is LFG Alarm?
A social alarm clock for iPhone and Android. Besides times, it rings for moments: a post going up, a stream going live, a price being hit.

### How is this different from the bell?
The bell sends every post as a notification. LFG Alarm rings only for the posts that mean what you wrote: full screen on Android, and on iPhone as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's own sound.

### What can I write?
Plain words: "posts a contract address", "announces the date", "mentions us". The sharper the sentence, the more precisely it rings.

### Which platforms?
X posts, Twitch channels going live, and YouTube channels going live or posting a video.

### Is it free?
The app is free to download, and riding a post alarm someone else made is free.

### Do I give it my X password?
No. Watching an account needs only its handle.
