# How to set a crypto price alarm that actually wakes you Crypto and markets · https://lfg.gm/crypto-price-alarm Most crypto price alerts arrive as a banner, so people keep checking the chart anyway, and ten one-minute looks a day add up to about 60 hours a year. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android: Rocco watches the price for you and rings your phone when it hits your number, a percent move or a multiple, full screen on Android and as a time-sensitive alert with its own sound on iPhone. It works for bitcoin, ether, solana and any token with a contract. No exchange login and no wallet to connect. ## The chart-check calculator Checks a day, times seconds each, times 365, divided by 3,600 gives hours a year. Ten checks of a minute each is about 61 hours, or 1.5 work weeks. Add two two-minute looks at 3am and it grows, plus the sleep either side of every one. One price alarm stands in for all of it: set once, it rings when it hits. ## Alert versus alarm An alert is a banner you swipe away with the dozens of others: a 2018 study of 278 phone users counted a median of 56 notifications a day. An alarm is loud, has its own sound, and is made to get you up. On Android a price alarm rings full screen, even on Do Not Disturb. On iPhone it arrives as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's own sound; keep the ringer on. ## How it works Pick the coin, type your number (or a percent, or a 2x), and go back to your day. Examples: bitcoin hits 140,000, ether down 10%, solana 2x. Majors and any token with a contract. In the app: tap Onchain, tap a Popular chip such as BTC or search by name, ticker or contract, then tap a multiple or a drop under The move, or type a price under Or a specific price, and tap Arm it. ## A sound for where you are Polite in the meeting, loud at 2am: a calm chime for the daytime, a siren for the 2am target, or The Butler if you want it polite. ## Just you, unless you say so Your alarms are private until you share one. No exchange login, no wallet to connect, no keys. **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 private repeating alarm called "Look at the chart" for 6:00 PM every weekday, so I check the price once a day instead of all day. Then tell me when it goes off next. Why it works: Your AI agent can set time alarms today. The price alarm itself is made in the app: tap Onchain, tap BTC, type 140,000 under Or a specific price and tap Arm it. ## Common mistakes - Setting a price alert in an app you already ignore. If it is a banner, you will swipe it like all the others. - Picking a target so close it rings every day. Set the number you would really act on. - Checking anyway. Once the alarm is set, close the chart. That is the point. ## Questions ### What is LFG Alarm? A social alarm clock for iPhone and Android.
