Even though @kayathomas.is is an expert in notifications she used AlarmKit in her latest app Milk Dairy. It's been 5 years since she talked about Notifications on the show and it's interesting here why she's using AlarmKit instead.

After half a decade, @kayathomas.is came back to tell me about her new motherhood-inspired app Milk Diary. She talks about using new APIs like Foundation Models, SpeechAnalyzer, and AlarmKit to handle the complex stuff other feeding apps miss.
