User reviews

Fit needs perfectly

Exactly what I needed. Calendar event created, pre-event alarm reminder automatically set. Easy. No more forgetting meetings.

Total Life Saver

Nothing short of a professional life saver. I am often so busy that the 15 minute warning from Outlook doesn’t help, I get side tracked in that time and miss a call. Or if I’m not at my desk, this gives me the warning I need to jump back.

Just love it!

Calendar alarms done right

Of all the calendar alarm apps out there, Beacon is the only one that does what I need it to do. Create a rule, set the conditions, and a real alarm will trigger, so you won’t miss an important meeting again. I used to have a series of alarms that I would keep up to date, but now Beacon does all that for me.

The latest update perfected matching by attendance status, so I can create one rule against my work calendar for all events that I’ve accepted and it matches everything I need it to.

It also works with all the calendars that I’ve added to the Calendar app, including Google Calendar.

If you want some calendar events to behave like real alarms instead of easy-to-miss notifications, this is the app.

I love the alarm feature, but it doesn’t delete canceled events from Google Calendar

Response from developer

Hey! Sorry to hear that this is an issue for you. I can understand why it would be frustrating to have an alarm go off for a cancelled event. Fortunately, you can resolve this by configuring your alarm rule to exclude cancelled events! If you need help doing this please send me an email at support@beaconcalendar.com

Incredible app

This app brings true alarm like reminders to calendar events. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve requested this feature from Apple. Beacon Makes calendar events, reliable again.
