Change your Alarm on Android App

The Ok Alone Android app includes a default alarm tone to capture your attention for check-in reminders and alerts. You can customize this alarm to any sound available on your device. Follow these steps to select a new alarm tone.

 

Overview

• By default, Ok Alone uses a built-in alarm tone for notifications.

• You can replace it with any audio file or ringtone stored on your phone.

• If you change the alarm, restart the app and any active shifts to apply the update.

• If settings do not take effect, reinstall the app and accept default permissions when prompted.

Steps to Change Your Alarm Tone

1. Open the Ok Alone App

   • Launch Ok Alone from your home screen or app drawer.

   • Make sure you’re signed in and, if applicable, have an active shift running.
     
     

2. Access App Settings

   • Tap Menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.

   • Select App Settings from the menu.
     
     

3. Locate the Alarm Sound Option

   • In App Settings, scroll down to the Alarm Sound section.

   • Tap Alarm Sound to open the list of available tones.
     
     

4. Choose a New Alarm Tone

   • A dialog appears showing your phone’s ringtone library and any custom sounds.

   • Scroll through the list and tap a tone to preview it.

   • Once you hear a sound you like, tap OK (or Select) to confirm.
     
     

5. Save and Test

   • After selecting a tone, return to the App Settings screen.

   • The new alarm name appears under Alarm Sound.

   • To test, tap Test Alarm (if available) or wait for the next scheduled check-in reminder.
     
     

6. Restart the App and Shifts

   • For the change to take full effect, close the Ok Alone app completely (swipe it away from Recent Apps).

   • Reopen the app and, if you had an active shift, end and start it again. This ensures the new sound is used for all subsequent reminders.
