Thanks for the tips!
I ended up finding a Jewish app that happens to have the feature I need. The app is called Shabbos Alarm, and it has the ability to set each  alarm to either override silent mode or to stay silent. So I  set up my first alarm to override silent just in case I leave it on silent before I go to sleep, and my second I set to not override silent. Since I don't forget to turn off my volume before shul, I should be set to go!
Nice! Glad you found what you need!

Anyone notice this Write to the Ohel app?

Ain't this a bit over the top?

Maybe change the setting in Gmail to delete instead of archive.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
