Where Does Rain Alarm Store Monitored Places?
Rain Alarm keeps monitored places and alert rules locally with rain radar checks in the background. Add places before trips, not during downpours.
Last updated
Rain Alarm watches radar over saved places without accounts. Monitored locations with radius and warning lead times persist in local app storage. Background checks poll rain maps on schedule.
That makes the place list the migration unit, rebuilt by hand on new phones. Exact folder names may vary by version. Keep background permissions granted; the app cannot warn from a killed process. Widget toggles mute night alerts. Multiple places need separate radii. Test alerts confirm sound choice. Logs show missed warnings.

Frequently asked questions
Do monitored places transfer phones?
No. Places and rules stay per install without accounts by design. Screenshot the place list before switching phones and re-add them manually. Alerts resume once places exist again.
How do I set a rain alert?
Add the place, set the radius and lead time, and keep background location allowed. Alerts fire when radar shows incoming rain. Battery savers kill background checks; exempt the app.
