alarm app (lemmy.ml)

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?

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

Have you tried using Tasker to schedule QRalarm for you?

it's an android app that lets you automate almost anything on your phone/android system. downsides are it's a pay app, not foss, and fairly complicated to set up at first. upsides are it is almost unlimited with what you can automate. looks like there is a free trial. might be a lemmy-instance for it, (there's a reddit sub) disclaimer; i haven't used it for a while now on older android releases.
