A Flutter plugin for Android that enables launching an app from the background at a specified time, mimicking the behavior of the native Android alarm app. It allows developers to schedule app wake-ups even when the app is closed or the device is in deep sleep, making it ideal for alarm, reminder, and timed notification applications. The plugin leverages Android's JobScheduler and AlarmManager APIs to ensure reliable execution. It does not support iOS. The package is lightweight and integrates seamlessly with existing Flutter projects.
