( I missed the whole Nirvana mania -- I wonder when I got off the radio train and had gone back to the 70's and 80's for my music fixes ) -- Niraj Comments I may know of a way, will require a new plugin.

Alert that would be transmitted to another iPhone for display on that iPhone? Take the Countdown plugin. It displays an alert on the iPhone screen for the User that set that countdown. Is that suitable? Did you envision something slightly different? Totally different? Help us by describing your scenario.

My original thought would be for the user to be able to set different times during the day to be reminded so this actually would work pretty well. I will try it and test it out. Thank you!

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would need the user to be able to set the timer in the app. Comments Oh wait…the thing with the Countdown timer is it can only be set in the control panel?

Ask Kittsy for a variation of that plugin. Comments From reading the Plugin's description, it is close to your objective, no cigar though. Ask Kittsy for a variation of that plugin.
