How LFG Alarm works with SoundCloud

You follow an artist on SoundCloud for months. They finally drop the track you've been waiting for, and you find out three days later, from a friend's story. SoundCloud did tell you, in a notification that landed between forty others. LFG Alarm, a social alarm clock for iPhone, Android and lfg.gm in a browser, turns that moment into an alarm: your phone rings the minute it's out, and so do your friends' phones. This page shows every way the two work together, for fans and for artists. LFG Alarm is not affiliated with SoundCloud.

What SoundCloud already does

SoundCloud's help pages say:

  • New tracks from people you follow show up in the Following tab of your feed, newest first.
  • The bell on an artist's profile picks your alerts for them: All New Releases, Personalized (weighted by how much you listen to them) or No Notifications.
  • Alerts come by push or email, depending on your notification settings, and email can arrive hours late.
  • Artists can upload a track as private and share it with a secret link, and Artist Pro accounts can schedule a private track to go public at a set time.

That works when you check your feed. It doesn't help when you're asleep, at work, or one of a hundred people who all want to hear it the same minute.

What LFG Alarm adds

  • A ring, not a notification. A drop alarm rings out loud the moment the new track is public. You pick how loud for yourself: Horn on rings, Notify sends a quiet notification, Quiet saves it in your Daily drop for later.
  • Everyone at once. Share one alarm link, and everyone who joins rings in the same minute. Group chats light up while the track is still new.
  • The track right there. Play the drop plays it in the app, credited to the artist and linked to the track on SoundCloud.
  • Nothing to set up on SoundCloud. Rocco, the cat who does the watching in LFG Alarm, reads the artist's profile about once a minute. Artists upload as they always do.
  • No credits. A drop alarm doesn't count against your plan.

For fans

For artists

  • Ring every fan on release day. Make a public drop alarm on your own profile, put its link in your bio, and every fan who joins rings when the track goes live, with your note on it. See ringing every fan when your track drops.
  • Get fans to your show or listening party. An alarm made from your event page rings everyone before doors, and a Set an LFG alarm button can sit on your own site beside the ticket link. See getting fans to your listening party or show.
  • A mystery drop. Your closest fans join an alarm without knowing what it is. When it rings, the curtain opens on the new track, or a secret link to an early listen. See how to make a mystery drop for your fans.

Ask your AI to set it up

If you use an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT with the LFG Alarm connector, it can find the artist and make the alarm for you.

try this

Have your AI agent make it.

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or any AI agent that can add a connector, not into the LFG Alarm app. The setup steps come with it: get the LFG Alarm app, connect it to your agent once, and your agent makes the alarm in your account.

Set me a drop alarm for [artist] on SoundCloud, so my phone rings the minute they post a new track. Show me which profile you found before you make it.

Already have the LFG Alarm app and connected it to your AI agent?

Why it works. It names the artist and asks to see the profile first, so the alarm watches the right one. Connect LFG Alarm to your AI app first: see [AI agents](/agents).

questions people ask
Do I need a SoundCloud account?

No. Rocco watches the artist's public profile, and Play the drop streams the track without signing in.

Will the new track be the ring?

No. LFG's sound rings, so it's loud on every phone. The track plays when you tap Play the drop.

How fast does it ring?

Within about a minute of the track going public on the artist's profile.

What about a private track or a scheduled release?

The alarm rings when a track becomes public, so it rings for a scheduled release at its time, and when an artist switches a private track to public. It never rings for a private track nobody can play yet.
