# LFG Alarm glossary

The words LFG Alarm uses, in plain English, A to Z. LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock: alarms that ring for times and for moments, shared by link so every phone that joined rings together.

## A to Z

### Alarm link
The address of an alarm, `lfg.gm/a/<alarm-code>`. Anyone allowed by the alarm's reach can open it and join. See [Sharing and reach](https://lfg.gm/wiki/sharing-and-reach).

### Anything alarm
An alarm set off by a web request to its private link: a script, a bot, Zapier, IFTTT or a phone shortcut. Also called a webhook alarm. See [How to make any app, script or feed ring your phone](https://lfg.gm/webhook-alarm).

### Call to action link
A link the creator adds to an alarm in the studio. It opens when someone answers the ring: the stream, the event page, the chart. With no link, the alarm opens LFG Alarm to the morning stats. See [The studio](https://lfg.gm/wiki/the-studio).

### Chaos level
How hard Rocco roasts you when you snooze: mild, medium (the default) or feral. It is set once in **Settings** and applies to every alarm.

### Connector
The word many AI apps use for an add-on that lets your AI agent use another service. The LFG Alarm connector lets your AI agent set alarms in your account. See [Connect LFG Alarm to your AI app](https://lfg.gm/agents).

### Cooldown
On an anything alarm, the time after a ring during which further calls are ignored: 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes. It stops a bot in a loop from ringing you forever.

### Creator's note
A message the person who made an alarm pins on it, such as where to meet or what to bring. It shows under the trigger and on the Daily drop, never on the ring screen, and can be edited at any time, even after the alarm is sealed.

### Daily drop
The tab the app opens on: what rang, who got up, the wake boards and what is coming up in the next seven days.

### Discover
The tab where public alarms appear, so people can find and ride them. See [Discover](https://lfg.gm/wiki/discover).

### Event alarm
An alarm made from a Luma or Partiful link, under **Got a link?**. It rings at the event's start or 30 minutes, an hour or two hours before. See [Event alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/event-alarms).

### Floor
On a trades alarm, the smallest trade that rings you. A pasted wallet rings for buys or sells over $1k, $2k, $5k or $10k (default $5k). A FOMO trader's buys ring over $5k, $10k or $25k, and their sells always ring. A GMGN KOL rings over $100, $500 or $1k, because KOLs trade in small clips.

### FOMO
A trading app whose traders publish their trades. A trades alarm can follow a FOMO trader by handle. LFG Alarm is not affiliated with FOMO.

### Friends alarm
An alarm for people you choose. It has two ways in: **Anyone with the link rides**, or **I approve each one**, where people who open the link ask and you say yes or no, and people you add yourself skip the asking. Never shown in Discover. See [Sharing and reach](https://lfg.gm/wiki/sharing-and-reach).

### Group
Your own named list of friends, with an emoji, such as golf or the book club, made in **Settings** > **Friends** > **Groups**. Only you see it. Tap **Create alarm with this group** to make an alarm with everyone in it. See [Friends and groups](https://lfg.gm/wiki/friends-and-groups).

### GMGN
A crypto trading site with a public tape of trades by well-known traders (KOLs). A trades alarm can follow a GMGN KOL. LFG Alarm is not affiliated with GMGN.

### I'm up
The button you tap when an alarm rings (**I'm up I'm up** on Android; on iPhone it can carry a word that fits the alarm, like **Let's go**). It is how the wake board knows you got up, and it opens the alarm's call to action link if it has one.

### Kept copy
A private copy of an alarm you were riding, kept with **Keep my copy** after its creator took it down. It is yours to change but can never be shared. Anything alarms cannot be kept.

### KOL
Key opinion leader: a trader or personality whose trades many people follow.

### Make it social
The switch at the end of making an alarm. Off, the alarm is private. On, it is for **Friends** or **Public**, and a time alarm also asks its time zone.

### MCP
Model Context Protocol, the standard way AI agents and AI assistants connect to apps. The LFG Alarm MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT and others make and manage time alarms for you. See [Using LFG Alarm from your AI agent](https://lfg.gm/wiki/ai-agents).

### Mystery alarm
A friends alarm with **Keep it a surprise** on: riders see a curtain instead of its wallpaper and sound until it rings. **Hide the trigger too?** also keeps back when and why it rings.

### Post alarm
An alarm that rings when an account on X posts something that means what you described, or when a Twitch or YouTube channel goes live or posts a video. Made with **👀 Social**. See [Post alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/post-alarms).

### Price alarm
An alarm that rings when a token reaches a price, or moves by a percent or a multiple. Made with **📈 Onchain**. See [Price alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/price-alarms).

### Private alarm
An alarm only you can see. Every new alarm starts private, with **Make it social** off.

### Public alarm
An alarm anyone with the link can ride, shown in Discover.

### Reach
Who an alarm is for: private, friends or public. It locks once the alarm is shared.

### Ring here
The yes you give on a laptop at lfg.gm so your alarms ring in that browser tab as well as on your phone. See [Alarms on your laptop](https://lfg.gm/alarms-on-your-laptop).

### Rider, riding
A rider is someone who joined an alarm they did not make, by tapping **Wake me too**. Riding is free. See [Riding an alarm](https://lfg.gm/wiki/riding-an-alarm).

### Rocco
The orange tabby cat inside LFG Alarm. He does the watching and the waking, cooks songs and voiceovers, and keeps score on the wake board.

### Sealed
An alarm becomes sealed once a second person joins it: its time, trigger, title, sound and picture can no longer change. See [Editing and deleting](https://lfg.gm/wiki/editing-and-deleting).

### Smart money tape
The live strip of trades at the top of Discover, for finding traders and tokens worth watching. A **Smart money** card opens a plain price alarm; a FOMO or GMGN card offers a trades alarm on that trader or token.

### Snooze
Putting off a ringing alarm for a few minutes: 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60, up to 3 times, 10 times or forever, with an optional **Silent snooze**. The creator's choice is where an alarm starts, but snooze is personal: each person can change it for their own phone, even on an alarm they ride. No alarm forbids snoozing; the wake board counts them.

### Social alarm clock
An alarm clock built for more than one person: one alarm, shared by link, ringing every phone that joined. See [What is a social alarm clock?](https://lfg.gm/social-alarm-clock).

### Studio
Where you choose an alarm's name, wallpaper, sound, snooze, creator's note and call to action link. See [The studio](https://lfg.gm/wiki/the-studio).

### Time alarm
An alarm for a clock time, once or on chosen days. It rings from the phone itself, even with no signal. See [Time alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/time-alarms).

### Time zone
The choice on a shared time alarm: **Same time zone for everyone** (one moment for all, the default) or **Everyone's local time zone** (each person at the same clock time on their own phone).

### Trades alarm
An alarm that rings when a wallet you pasted, a FOMO trader, a GMGN KOL or a token sees a buy or sell over your floor. See [Trades alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/trades-alarms).

### Wake board
The scoreboard of a shared alarm: who got up first, who snoozed and who slept in. For an alarm that rings each person at their own local time, it stays open until everyone is up or 24 hours, and ranks people by how fast they got up after their own ring. See [Wake board](https://lfg.gm/wiki/wake-board).

### Wake me too
The button that joins an alarm from its link or from Discover.

### Webhook
A web address that one program calls to tell another that something happened. In LFG Alarm, an anything alarm's link is a webhook. See [Anything alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/anything-alarms).
