Regional overview
Alert counts by province for any day, with the change from the previous day.
Korean emergency alerts
Every alert,
still there when you look.
Emergency text alerts pop up once and disappear. Alarmy keeps them as a searchable list — nationwide, by region and by type — so you can find the one you missed in seconds.

Unofficial app
Alarmy is an independent app made by MintSoft. It does not represent and is not affiliated with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety or any government agency of the Republic of Korea. Official alerts are delivered by your phone's emergency alert system — for the official government app, use Safety Korea (안전디딤돌).

Regional push alerts
Only the alerts
that matter to you.
Pick the cities and districts you care about — where you live, where your parents live — or let the app use your current district. Alarmy sends a notification when a new alert is issued there.
- Choose several regions, or follow your current district
- Pick the levels you want: information, caution, emergency
- Quiet nights: only emergency alerts from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- Optional nationwide emergency alerts
Push alerts are a convenience and may be delayed. Your phone's official emergency alerts always come first.
Privacy
No account. Your data stays on your phone.
Alarmy has no sign-up and no user profiles. Bookmarks, settings, your checklist and family contacts are stored only on your device.
-
No sign-up
No name, email or phone number is needed to use the app.
-
Stored on your device
Bookmarks, selected regions, checklist and family contacts never leave your phone.

Location stays coarse
When you turn on location, your phone turns it into a city/district name. Only that name is sent to find your alert region — your coordinates are not.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official government alert app?
No. Alarmy is an unofficial app made by MintSoft and is not affiliated with any government agency. Official emergency alerts reach your phone through its built-in emergency alert system. The official government app is Safety Korea (안전디딤돌).
Is it free?
Yes. Alarmy is free and supported by ads. There are no in-app purchases, and alert information is never behind a paywall.
Why don't I get push notifications?
Check that notifications for Alarmy are allowed in your phone's settings and that at least one region is selected (or current location alerts are on). Alerts below the levels you chose — or non-emergency alerts at night with quiet nights on — are not sent.
Do I have to share my location?
No. Location is optional — you can pick regions manually. If you turn it on, the app checks your location only while you use it, converts it to a district name on your phone, and sends only that name to our server.
Can I use it outside Korea or in my language?
The alerts cover the Republic of Korea. The app is available in 25 languages, and alert messages can be shown with a machine translation for reference; the original Korean text is authoritative.
How do I delete my data?
Everything you save is on your device. Deleting the app's data or uninstalling the app removes it. If you emailed us, ask us to delete that correspondence at any time.
