Built to ring, every time

Reminders and medicines on alarms that keep working when the app is closed, the phone is asleep, or it has just restarted.

Alarms that ring

Full-screen alarms over the lock screen, and over other apps while you use the phone, with snooze, early warnings and repeats from every few hours to every year.

Hear the title

The reminder is spoken aloud in its own language, Arabic or English, once or every few seconds.

Medication made simple

Each dose has its own alarm: taken, later or skipped. Stock tracking, refill alerts and a monthly history.

Backups in your Drive

Back up to a “Fakkerni backups” folder in your own Google Drive or a folder on your phone, with optional password encryption.

Reliable after a restart

Alarms ring even after the phone restarts, before you unlock it, and Fakkerni warns you if a battery saver holds it back.

Arabic first

Right-to-left layout, Arabic digits and plurals, Saturday-first weeks, light and dark themes.

A closer look

Ten main screens, in light and dark.

All versions and changes

  1. Download the APK

    Tap Download on your Android phone. The file is called fakkerni.apk.

  2. Allow the install

    Open the file. If Android asks, allow installing apps from your browser or file manager.

  3. Open Fakkerni

    Follow the short setup: language, notifications and alarm permissions. Allow “Show alarms over other apps” so alarms take the whole screen even while you use the phone. Already have a backup? Choose “I have a backup, restore”.

Google Play Protect may warn that the app comes from an unknown developer. That's because Fakkerni isn't on Google Play yet. Tap “More details” › “Install anyway”.

Private by design

Your reminders and medicines are personal. Fakkerni keeps them on your phone, and a backup goes only where you choose.

Questions

Is Fakkerni free?

Yes. No ads, no subscriptions and no in-app purchases.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Alarms, reminders and medication work fully offline. Internet is only used if you back up to Google Drive.

Where are my backups?

Wherever you choose: a “Fakkerni backups” folder in your own Google Drive, a folder on your phone, or inside the app. You can encrypt them with a password.

Why isn't it on Google Play?

Fakkerni is still being tested. It will come to Google Play later; until then you can install the APK from this page.

Which phones are supported?

Android 8.0 or later. Some brands limit apps in the background; Fakkerni's setup shows how to keep alarms on time on your phone.

Why does an alarm show only as a banner?

While you use your phone, Android shows alarms as a banner unless the app may display over other apps. Turn on Settings › Permissions › “Show alarms over other apps” in Fakkerni, and alarms take the whole screen.
