I need an alarm app that lets me scan QR codes. I find that it helps me get out of bed and take my meds in a timely manner. I have QRalarm but it’s a onetime use alarm and I can’t schedule times for certain days which I find to be really important. I normally use alarmy but it requires the Google Play store and I’d prefer to not have that yk.
Anyone know a foss option?
Not with qr but nfc tags. Since these are cheap you could give it a try
This would probably work great most of the time. One worry I had when exploring NFC tags was if the tag gets lost, or you are out of home and forget to skip the alarm
With barcodes/QR you can generate one on the spot if you know what the original one was. Some people just have a thing for the word “barcode”
I guess you could always uninstall the app or force shut down the phone
If you’ve got a computer as an alarm clock if you just want something to get up.
It’s specifically the QR and barcode reading thing that I need because it forced me to get out of bed, walk to my bathroom, and scan the bar code on my medication bottle. QRalarm would be fine for this except that I cannot schedule the alarms to ring and instead have to set them nightly which I wont remember to do
QRAlarm seems to be what you are looking for. It’s available on GitHub and the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo.
Nevermind.
