Apple - How to make Siri set an alarm AND name/label the alarm at same time?

Exactly say this:

Set alarm for [time] labeled [insert name here]

This works for me every time, thus it should work for your appointments or alarms too. Make sure you say labeled right: click here for the pronunciation and just make sure the names aren't too long.

Names I've tried:

  1. Hello
  2. Triangle
  3. Square

You can also have Siri set reminders for you, in the Reminders app, instead of alarms.

Remind me at time to task.

It also works for geofenced reminders:

Remind me when I get home to task.

Remind me when I leave here to task.

This right here is easily 75% of what I use Siri for, and I find it's a more fitting solution than using alarms—in my mind, alarms are for waking up.


I found the best way is to say "Set an alarm for [time] and label it [your label here].
