8. Alarm & Lock Screen Features

๐Ÿ”” Full-Screen Alarms: HabitNode includes professional alarm functionality that displays full-screen alerts on your lock screen to ensure you never miss your habit reminders. By enabling alarms, you grant HabitNode permission to:

โš ๏ธ Alarm Security Lock: When an alarm is ringing on your lock screen, the alarm interface is the only accessible screen until you dismiss or snooze it. This prevents unauthorized access to your app data while your device is locked. You must explicitly tap "Stop Alarm" or "Snooze" to exit the alarm screen.

โœ… User Control: You can disable alarms at any time through:

Battery & Performance: Alarm features may slightly impact battery life as they require certain background capabilities. HabitNode is optimized to minimize impact, but for guaranteed alarm delivery, we recommend whitelisting the app from battery optimization in your device settings.

Liability Disclaimer: While HabitNode employs industry-standard mechanisms (full-screen intents, exact alarms, wake locks) for reliable alarm delivery, VHIR Tech cannot guarantee 100% alarm delivery in all cases due to device-specific battery optimization, manufacturer customizations (e.g., MIUI, EMUI, OneUI), Do Not Disturb modes, or operating system limitations. You acknowledge that HabitNode alarms should not be solely relied upon for critical, life-safety, or medical purposes.

9. Notifications

HabitNode sends various types of notifications including habit reminders, AI-powered motivational nudges, smart reminders, daily summaries, badge unlocks, and chat messages. You can customize or disable any notification category in app settings or your device's notification management.
