In today's world use of Location based services is very much necessary in day-to-day life. Location based services are used for navigation purpose that can keep suggesting of all the work which is associated at various places in day-to-day life. This paper aims to develop an Android application where user can be reminded about his/her associated work whenever around the near vicinity or area of interest. The main objective of this paper is to develop a Location Based Alarm system for mobile application which can be used in following scenarios: (a) to remind user with the help of alarm whenever user enters a predefined location within specified range. (b) User can select multiple target location to remind and can save notes accordingly to complete the task which user wanted to do when arrived at that location. (c) User can update or delete the defined reminders. (d) User can save their frequently visited location for ease of use which can be added to favourite location list and can be added to reminder whenever needed. The implemented system named Relarmy, requires a user to set a location alarm in the app which will generate an alert via sound notification if a user is within the user pre-defined range of desired location. The desired location will be saved using its co-ordinates i.e., latitude and longitude and alarm will automatically go off when the user is within the given range. Relarmy can be useful in many applications such as, for travelling salespersons, students, working professionals using different mode of transports for travel and want to be reminded about their multiple destinations or the things they want to do in a particular area without the need of remembering. It can also be used in a disaster situation to find the persons or services in a particular location as it is difficult to locate the exact search area and its accurate location in case of an emergency.
